A New York establishment since 1931, this Manhattan getaway offers the perfect blend of art-deco sophistication and historic quality. Between the beauty of Central Park and the buzz of Broadway, guests can indulge in delicious cuisine at the hotel restaurant and lounge; unwind with a treatment at the pampering spa and escape to upscale guestrooms equipped with plush golden carpets, deep red velvets, alligator-print leather accents and exquisite views of the city and Central Park.

The Jumeirah Essex House has undergone a $70 million refurbishment to update rooms to a fresh, contemporary feel with an Art Deco twist. Guest rooms have received new floor and wall coverings, soft goods and furniture, including flat screen televisions. The decor is reminiscent of the golden age of travel of the 1920s and 1930s. The redesigned lobby offers a lobby lounge and a new restaurant, South Gate.
