Stay in Style at our Newly-Renovated New York Hotel

Celebrating over 75 years of luxury on Central Park South, Jumeirah Essex House has recently completed a $90 million refurbishment, to update the rooms and suites to a fresh, contemporary feel with an Art-Deco twist.

As one of the city's premier Art-Deco masterpieces of the 1930s, Jumeirah Essex House selected the Atlanta-based design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates to handle the hotel's redesign on all levels. Their design approach was to respect the hotel's historically significant Art-Deco details and flourishes, upgrading the guest rooms, suites, lobby and corridors to five-star status.

We look forward to welcoming you and your guests to the new Jumeirah Essex House.

During our refurbishment, all guest rooms and suites were renovated. The decor throughout the rooms captures the 'glory days' of the 'Golden Age of Travel' of the 1920s and 1930s, whilst providing the very latest in comfort and technology.

Guest room interior design features include plush golden carpets, deep red velvets, alligator-print leather accents, wall-to-wall wood cabinetry units offering ample desk and drawer space, rich red leather-framed mirrors, hammered nail studs on a white leather ottoman gracing the front of the beds, and window blinds featuring a leaf pattern evocative of the trees in Central Park.
Guest room technology design features include HD LCD flat Panel TVs, a touch-screen control pad, custom-programmed color-changing LED fixture that you can change to create a variety of moods, and 'stumble lights' underneath nightstands.

Our newly redesigned lobby now features the Lobby Lounge, where you can enjoy a savory selection of culinary delights, including appetizers, entrée and sandwiches, in a setting of Art-Deco style and ambiance.

Sumptuous white leather banquettes, tucked away in a richly-appointed burgundy-draped alcove featuring faux crystal beaded table lamps with chrome accents, reminiscent of the 1920s, make for a convivial and lounge-like environment in a lobby setting. Rich burgundy and amethyst-colored satin pillows adorn the lobby's oversized cream-colored leather sofas, and exude both comfort and design versatility.

The new lobby lounge menu offers guests breakfast and all-day restaurant selections, served seven days a week, from 8.00am to 10.00pm. Choose from a myriad of items such as grilled King crab meat with Caesar salad, Kobe beef burger, Maine Lobster sandwich and Denver omelet. A fine selection of wines, cocktails and coffees are available as well, including our signature drink - The Essex.

Traditional Afternoon Tea is served from 2.00pm to 6.00pm, and offers a delectable variety of finger sandwiches, pastries, scones, fruit cake and shortbread served with an outstanding selection of teas.
