With its prestigious address on fashionable Central Park South, the Jumeirah Essex House is the perfect place to experience Carrie's world yourself.

The hotel also is owned by Dubai-based Jumeirah properties. And since the girls are off to the Middle East in the movie, why not get a touch of that hospitality in New York? (Essex House )
