What a stunning and classy hotel. We were met with a friendly greeting and we were really happy with the accommodations, the club lounge(although we did wish the had at least cocktail hour Fri:sat) the breakfast was everything you could want. The elevators moved quickly, it's a large hotel and we never waited for even a solid minute. The location at central park south was lovely, if you want to be I t his area. We enjoyed it even though we travels south, soho, tribeca, Hudson yards, Brooklyn while we were visiting.

Our recent stay at the JW Marriott Essex House was absolutely fantastic. As locals looking for a getaway, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The location is unbeatable—being right at the edge of Central Park meant we could walk to almost everything we wanted to see and do. It truly felt like we were in the heart of the city’s best offerings. Upon arrival, the service was lovely and welcoming. We were incredibly appreciative to be given a choice of upgrades, and we ultimately moved into a beautiful suite. The room was perfect; the furnishings have been thoughtfully updated to feel fresh and high-end while still staying true to the hotel’s iconic, traditional style. Most importantly, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. As a family dealing with dietary restrictions, the Club Lounge was a highlight. The breakfast spread was great, featuring many hot meal options that actually had variety. They were also wonderful about accommodating our allergies, which made the morning routine stress-free and delicious. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back for another staycation. If you’re looking for a blend of historic NYC charm and modern luxury, this is the place to be.

We really liked this hotel! Very NYC posh - super nice staff, and they even brought us a teddy bear with sweets for our anniversary! Room was a nice size, shower was perfect... and beds were oh so comfy. Location is right across the street from Central Park and a 4 minute walk from a subway stop - and there are several within a few blocks radius of this hotel. Would stay again!

This hotel's location on the southern edge of Central Park cannot be beaten and the bar's cocktails are the best in New York. You can see all the mid-town sites while sitting just outside the bustle, and on the edge of all the calm part of the City on either side of the Park.
