It's OK To Be a Gold Digger at the Jumeirah Essex House Hotel

Where: 160 Central Park S [map], New York, NY, United States, 10019

Apparently, gold is making a comeback during this recession and there are several interesting ways to get your hands, or face, on it. You could spend your summer vacation mining for gold in various wilderness spots in the U.S. or you could buy a brick of gold on your way through the Frankfurt Airport. Want something even easier and a little less stressful? Try the 24-karat Gold Revitalizer exfoliation treatment from Cosmé Proud at The Spa at the Jumeirah Essex House Hotel. From the spa:

The soft exfoliator uses 24-karat pure gold flakes to remove dead skin cells through the power of gold negative ions. The natural function of gold restores ionic balance and enhances the ability to regenerate skin. The 24K Gold Revitalizer is the ultimate in luxury and can be purchased or added to treatments offered at The Spa.

While the Jumeirah Essex is a luxury hotel facing Central Park South, we were quite pleased to find an Essex Queen room for only $250 a night from July 10-12. That totally leaves room in our budget for some gold exfoliation. The flashy treatment can be added-on to other treatments for $35 or purchased on its own at the spa for $100.
