Talk:Jumeirah Essex House

Really beautiful place. They had a huge X-mas tree in the lobby made entirely out of white chocolate; 500lbs of chocolate!). Not only was the tree beautiful but it smelled great! and it made a good topic for conversation. Officially, you have to be 21 to sit in the bar, but we got in without them checking ID's. Drinks are cheap, no cover charge when I went. The whole thing was like $15 and it would have been cheaper if we only got 1 drink each. The bathrooms are beautiful. they also have a huge glass wine cellar, where all the wines are displayed in racks. Its really cool. Interesting crowd though. I went on a wed night, they had a whole bunch of executives there. It looked like a business party or something; everyone was tzinus, wearing suits and skirts ect... No matter, all was peaceful as I stayed in the corner. There is parking right outside , but its hard to get into that block. In all, it's a beautiful hotel, but you start to question if it really is a hotel
