Recent Jumeirah Essex House Central Review: "I stayed here for a week in August with my husband and loved this hotel. The location is great if you like to go for a run in Central Park as it's just across the street. There is a huge choice of deli's, diners, restaurants and bars in the area. We also visited great restaurants and bars in other neighbourhoods but this is my favourite area in NY to  be based. The hotel is spotless and service was faultless during our stay. The lobby is gleaming and we could see why when we would come in late at night and see the floors, furniture and brass fittings being cleaned and polished. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was an Essex room with interior view. This meant that there were windows to the outside world, but they looked out on 3 other walls, 2 being other parts of the hotel. So, there was no view (you can get rooms with views for a higher rate), not even of the sky, but this didn't bother us at all. The room was large, well lit and the bed a King (more like a Superking at home). The ensuite was also plenty spacious and well serviced. We took some precautions for bed bugs by checking the bed/matress/curtains on arrival and using luggage racks. Everything was spotless and there were none to be found. So, we thankfully had no bug encounters during our stay in NY, though we did see two bed bug exterminator company vans parked up a few blocks away! There is a bar/restaurant in the hotel which we visited just once for a late drink. We chilled out in big leather chairs by the window. The day we checked out we could use the washrooms in the Hotel Spa to freshen up before our evening flight, which was a nice facility. I've always chosen different hotels in NY each visit, but this is my new favourite for its combination of hotel features and location, and I will stay here again."

Dining at Jumeirah Essex House Central

South Gate Restaurant and Bar adds a new dimension to the Central Park South dining landscape. Featuring celebrated chef Kerry Heffernan’s outstanding Modern American cuisine, South Gate offers a distinctive and seasonally-inspired menu.

Recently, South Gate’s chefs have partnered with farms throughout New York and New England to create a new tavern menu featuring locally-sourced cheeses and charcuterie.

South Gate continues to revolutionize the dining experience as the first New York restaurant to launch the new iPad wine tablet. Dufeu, South Gates sommelier, will use this interactive touch-screen handheld device to educate patrons on the 700 bottle seasonal wine list.

    • A short guide to Central Park

    Buildings crane above one another to claim views of Central Park, a piece of real estate valued at more than $528 billion. Surprises abound in its 843 acres. The grounds include a castle, a zoo, several lakes, and an Egyptian obelisk. A city that never sleeps needs its quiet time, too: Central Park has six designated “quiet zones,” including Strawberry Fields, the monument to John Lennon.
