“It wouldn't have been as memorable if it wasn't for Marsha!”

“Truly First Class”

Reviewed 1 week ago NEW

In every way, this hotel is as good as it gets. The location, the room, the amenities, and most of all the staff, like David the concierge, are outstanding. The Central Park South location is very convenient to the Park, museums, and trains. It is the best of the best.

Thank teak51

We are thrilled to know you enjoyed your stay so thoroughly and we will be sure to pass along your comments to David and the rest of our colleagues.

First let me say that I have never been a Marriott fan but because my partner is we stay with Marriott while on business for him.

“Falls significantly short of luxury peer group”

For this review, I consider Essex House's peers the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago and the JW Marriott in Hanoi. I'm platinum status with Marriott. I was in New York for the weekend with my wife for a friend's wedding. The theme for stay was that no request was met successfully on the first attempt. - Multiple attempts to get a room... More

“Saturday Night In the City”

Reviewed 1 week ago

As to give full disclosure I was born in NYC, went to college in the city, and now live just outside in Westchester County. Secondly stay at the Marriott brand often. Having said that this hotel is by far even for NY standards on the expensive side. Why? Location, location, location. It is situated on Central Park right in the... More

“So much potential, but not impressed....”

Ok so I feel like the odd one out here - this hotel was a HUGE letdown. Could it have been the decidedly unfriendly gentleman who barely grunted at us when he checked us in? Could it have been the horrendously dated room on the 7th floor with stained carpets and a generally dingy feel? I guess I just expected... More

“Essex House - the hotel of contrasts”

Essex House is a historical hotel located at one of the most beautiful spots of Manhattan. When I arrived after a long haul flight, I was politely greeted at the reception and provided with a room on the 7th floor. The room was spacious, but the other qualities were far from being expected for a $500 per night lodging. Smelly... More

“A treasure!!”

This weekend was filled with memories that we will treasure, always. We selected the JW Marriott Essex House for the majestic views of Central Park - this was a surprise weekend for The Grand Mother -- we did not expect to be overwhelmed with outstanding service and an exceptional staff - truly spectacular. Thank you!
