 Luxury Hotels: Jumeirah, an international luxury hospitality group
headquartered in Dubai, recently acquired its first
U.S. property, taking over the renowned Essex House in
NYC, which is now the Jumeirah Essex House. When
something is not broke, there is really no need to fix
it. So the new management team's plan is to preserve
the tradition of the venerable 75-year-old
institution. And what a tradition it is too! Being
one of the Big Apple's finest hotels, the Essex
House's opulence is a staple of the city.
Conveniently located near both local airports, JFK and
Newark, the rooms offer a stunning view of Central
Park and Manhattan. A jogging path along with horse
riding, fitness facilities and full-health spa
services provide guest with an array of amenities.
Plus there is the Mobil Five-Star restaurant, Alain
Ducasse at Jumeirah Essex House, the Journeys Lounge
and Café Botica for dining or wining. For business or
pleasure, conference facilities can accommodate up to
180 people, and executive boardrooms and meeting rooms
are also available.
It is a change for the better, as Gerald Lawless, CEO
of Jumeirah, plans to expand on the establishment's
luxury while maintaining its rich history and aura of
elegance. See more at www.jumeirahessexhouse.com
