When JW Marriott Essex House New York wins: pick Essex House if you prefer a Central Park–side address, an Art Deco landmark feel, and an on-site spa and single high-end signature restaurant rather than the bustle of Times Square.

Location: Times Square vs Central Park South

New York Marriott Marquis – Location

New York Marriott Marquis sits directly on Times Square between West 45th and 46th Streets in the Theater District.

  • Steps from Broadway theaters and Times Square sights; immediate access to major subway lines and tour/ticket assistance.
  • About a 10–15 minute walk north to Central Park; close to Rockefeller Center and Bryant Park.
  • No hotel airport shuttle; nearest major transit hubs (Times Sq–42 St) are a short walk.

Choose the Marquis if you want to be in the center of Broadway, nightlife, and the busiest tourist hub.

JW Marriott Essex House New York – Location

JW Marriott Essex House New York occupies Central Park South for direct park access and a quieter Midtown location.

  • Steps from Central Park and within a short walk of Columbus Circle, Lincoln Center and Rockefeller Center.
  • Preferred airport listed as LaGuardia (LGA); concierge and tours/ticket assistance available.
  • Location suits sightseeing that centers on museums, the park, and more relaxed Midtown shopping.

Pick Essex House for immediate Central Park access and a more residential Midtown feel.

Rooms: scale and style

New York Marriott Marquis – Rooms

Marquis is a very large high-rise hotel with nearly 1,900+ rooms and many room types and suites.

  • 16 documented room types including Times Square view rooms, family rooms, and multiple accessible options.
  • Rooms offer in-room internet (complimentary for Bonvoy elite members booking direct; otherwise may be paid).
  • Many rooms are optimized for groups and families with connector options and rollaway/crib policies.

  • Rooms include minibars, LCD TVs, designer toiletries, and wired/wireless internet (surcharge applies).
  • Some pet-friendly rooms are available (pet fee and restrictions apply); service animals exempt.
  • Private bathrooms include shower/tub combinations and hair dryers; down comforters and memory-foam beds noted.

Essex House delivers a classic, park-side room experience with fewer total rooms and a landmark hotel character.

Dining & drinks: variety vs focused signature

New York Marriott Marquis – Dining & drinks

New York Marriott Marquis has multiple on-site venues including the city's only revolving restaurant.

  • The View Restaurant, Bar and Lounge on the 47th/48th floors is the hotel’s revolving venue for dinner and brunch.
  • Revel & Rye and Broadway Lounge provide additional all-day dining and pre-show cocktail options.
  • On-site Perch Outdoor Terraces provide seasonal outdoor dining space above the 8th floor.

Marquis offers more variety and unique city views — useful if you want multiple in-house dining options.

JW Marriott Essex House New York – Dining & drinks

Essex House centers its dining around one signature restaurant and bar/lounge.

  • Bourbon Steak New York is the primary on-site restaurant offering American/steakhouse dining and an alfresco option.
  • Room service is available during limited hours; weekday and weekend cooked-to-order breakfast available for a surcharge.
  • Concierge can help with local restaurant recommendations and reservations beyond the hotel.

Essex House has a focused, higher-end dining offering rather than multiple casual outlets.

Pools / signature amenity

New York Marriott Marquis – Pools / signature amenity

Marquis does not list an on-site pool; the hotel emphasizes other features like its fitness center and event spaces.

  • No on-site pool according to multiple guest-facing booking sites and reviews.
  • Signature amenity: The rotating View restaurant and large-scale event spaces.
  • Fitness center (Marquis Fitness Center) is large, 24/7, and complimentary for guests.

If a pool is essential, the Marquis is not a fit; its signature amenities are dining and meeting facilities.

  • Spa services and spa treatment rooms are listed on the supplier amenities.
  • No pool is published in the supplier listing provided.
  • Guests can use the park for outdoor running, walking, and activities directly outside the hotel.

Essex House emphasizes spa treatments and direct park access rather than an on-site pool.

Wellness & nightlife

New York Marriott Marquis – Wellness & nightlife

Marquis’ wellness offering centers on a large 24/7 fitness center; nightlife is Times Square and Broadway focused.

  • Marquis Fitness Center is a reimagined 4,000 sq ft space on the 23rd floor, open 24/7 with Peloton bikes and strength zones.
  • Nightlife is the surrounding Times Square area plus on-site bars like Broadway Lounge and The View Lounge.
  • No on-site full-service spa is consistently documented by independent sources.

Good for guests who want a strong in-house gym and immediate access to city nightlife and Broadway evenings.

JW Marriott Essex House New York – Wellness & nightlife

  • Spa services and treatment rooms are listed; guests must reserve spa treatments in advance per property notes.
  • Fitness center is available and listed as 24-hour and wheelchair-accessible.
  • Evenings tend to be quieter than Times Square; dining is focused and concentrated on the property’s restaurant/bar.
