$5.495 million
After a $90 million renovation, the Art Deco masterpiece Jumeirah Essex House hotel also offers condos — so you can check in, but you never have to leave. This 2,400-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bathroom home on Central Park South features direct park views and offers access to all of the hotelâs “five-star” services â” including a concierge, housekeeping and 24-hour room service. And talk about the “finest” of finishes: The open living/dining room and “gracious” entry are outfitted with African walnut floors and the master suite has a “beautiful” marble master bath. Oh, and the heating, AC, cable, phone and even spa/health club membership are all included in the monthly charge (a mere $6,329). Agent: Noble Black, The Corcoran Group, 212-444-7926
