JW Marriott Essex House New York has announced the debut of its Central Park Suite Collection. The three luxury suites pay homage to the hotel’s iconic front lawn: Central Park. Designed by Whitespace Interiors, each restyled suite includes design, artwork and other touches inspired by personalities who helped shape the cultural landscape of New York City since the hotel opened 1931.
The Central Park Suite Collection includes the Artisans Terrace Suite, the Meadow Terrace Suite and the Delacorte Presidential Suite.
The Artisans Terrace Suite is named after the Artisans’ Gate—the 7th Avenue entrance to Central Park. The contemporary interpretation of Art Deco design pays homage to the craftsmanship and legacy of the city’s artisans. With nods to Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” including an installation made of deconstructed piano keys in one bedroom and a blue, hand-painted, abstract mural in the living room, the suite captures the essence of the Jazz Age through geometric forms and vibrant colors. Other highlights include a wrap-around terrace; a miniature putting green and table tennis set; a fully appointed kitchenette with private service entrance; and a workout mirror. The 2,000-square-foot suite can accommodate up to four people (two king beds).
The classic yet contemporary Meadow Terrace Suite is inspired by Manhattan interior designer and socialite Elsie de Wolfe. The suite has large windows and a terrace offering views of Central Park and Columbus Circle. Every aspect of the suite reflects de Wolfe’s attention to detail, beginning in the foyer with a three-dimensional, hand-crafted bas relief, triptych adorned with florals and peacocks. Other design highlights include marble casing, a second bedroom with a pair of queen beds and a full kitchenette with private entrance. Terrace views overlooking Central Park’s Sheep Meadow provide an inviting space for guests to unwind. The 2,000-square-foot suite can accommodate up to six people (one king bed, two double queen beds, and a sleeper).
Rooted in nature with a palette inspired by the park below, the Delacorte Presidential Suite honors George T. Delacorte, founder of Dell Publishing and a quintessential New York City philanthropist. His dedication to the beautification and preservation of Central Park is widely felt today as he funded the Alice in Wonderland sculpture, the Delacorte Clock and the Delacorte Theater, home of SummerStage. The colors and textures mirror the greenery below, bringing the outdoors in through abstracted forest mural painted on silk in the dining room to marble surfaces that mimic the sparkling ripples of a pond. The redesign maximizes space through an entryway, open living and dining room which has a table for eight crafted from sustainably sourced wood. The 2,500-square-foot suite can accommodate up to six people (two king beds and one Murphy bed).
