Jumeirah Essex House


Many of my New Yorker readers may not be aware of the fact that after the purchase of the historic Essex House Hotel in Manhattan by the Dubai Holding member Jumeirah, the hotel has been renamed and branded the Jumeirah Essex House. This purchase, in addition to other real estate transactions in Manhattan including the recent deal for the W Union Square, highlights the way in which Dubai's rulers are extending the emirate's brand in the USA through creative real estate transactions.

We stayed at Essex House back in June and blogged about it here.

We had a great time, and it was definitely one of our more pleasurable stays in New York. To actually have a room that was free from traffic noise was a huge plus.
