I recently stayed here a couple of Saturdays ago in room 1130. I highly suggest anyone to request this room number as this King layout was quite large and when we were looking at another room of the same type this one was much larger than the "equivalent" Our experience from start to finish blew me away. I usually find... more

If you are impressed by touch screen telephones, HD TV and movement sensitive lighting this hotel could be for you. However, if you expect any sort of service such as housekeeping (takes an hour), room service (too busy to take orders) or the concierge (maybe I needed to make an appointment, because they could only speak to me in one... more

Excellent accomodations, really good attention at front desk and concierge very useful. On another hand breakfast could be better and cafeteria floor could get cleaned better before you ask customers to sit down. We went with our two children (8 and 9) and stayed in a very nice two bedroom suite. Valets are kind of rough with cars. Watch out... more

We booked the Essex House through the American Express Platinum "Fine Hotels and Resorts" program. While the room was adequate, the bathroom was not, and nothing rose to the level of a "fine" hotel. The room was small but clean, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom, however, was a disaster. The cups were dirty. The sink did not drain... more

Across the street from central park and 2 blocks from Columbus Circle- Great shopping there! 5th ave is 2 blocks in the other direction. You really... more

I love New York and have stayed many times on Central Park South. So this time it was time to try the "new" Essex House. Swift check in, nice upgrade...but that is it! No indication when shown to my room where I can find what in the hotel, some room facilities were broken, like the light in my room entrance... more

I booked this hotel direct and found the reservations to be very helpful. The hotel is very expensive to stay at and if you are not from the US, you always have tax on top and then remember what ever you do, there are the tips to add. This was a special occasion for me, but well worth the money... more

I was part of a small group that stayed here for an art tour. The location couldn't be more perfect and the hotel has wonderful art deco ambiance. Nothing is cheap - from internet, bar, phone, to breakfast so be prepared. My room was large on the 10th floor. Sadly no park view. The flat screen TV had channels for... more
