This was a last minute pick. Decided to change to a hotel closer to where my business meetings were held. As with all good hotels in the City it is expensive. Check in was speedy, plenty of attentive staff everywhere and exceptionally nice lobby. The room was very clean and particulary nice lighting with auto dimmers/bright, very comfortable bed and... more

Great location great service the most comfortable bed ever. I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights in August and it is a great hotel. The staff are all very helpful and attentive.

The room (central park view, king sized bed), afternoon high tea, and 2 breakfasts were included. The total cost of the package equalled the rack rate of the room for one night. If... more

I was visting NYC with my 76 year old father who rarely travels. Problem was 2 beds in one room. Essex house room was super, quiet, beds were super comfortable, staff very nice, no traffic noise whatsoever, very restful. After all my research, it was a home run. I wanted to add this review after relying on TripAdvisor reviews to... more

This was my first time at Essex House, and it was a winner. I liked being near the Park for running in the morning, and I liked the bar in the hotel for meeting up with colleagues (I was in NY for a media tour). Mid-town is also nice for running around to meetings, centrally located. There's a Pain Quotidien... more

Aside from the proximity to Central Park, there is no reason I could recommend this property. We reported two maintenance problems with our room (called twice), yet received no reply or repairs. Even gave management a chance to make it right at check-out, in hopes they'd redeem themselves. They didn't. Instead, we received a stock e-mail inviting us back with... more
