The Lowell Hotel

The Lowell Hotel: a New York icon on the Upper East Side since 1927

The Lowell is a family-owned luxury boutique hotel located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, on a quiet, tree-lined residential street between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue. Opened in 1927, it presents itself as one of the few hotels in the city that remain family-run and as a neighborhood landmark, just steps from the fashion houses of Madison Avenue, Fifth Avenue and Central Park. The building rises 17 stories above an iconic residential setting.

Accommodation: 47 suites and residential spaces

The hotel has 47 suites across several categories, from the Lowell Rooms and Lowell King to the Junior Suites, One Bedroom Suites, Speciality Suites, Two Bedroom Suites and the Penthouse Suite. Among the named suites are the Hollywood Suite, the Garden Suite, The Lowell Suite, the Park Avenue Suite and the Manhattan Suite. Many rooms and suites feature wood-burning fireplaces, a rarity in New York, as well as landscaped terraces with sweeping city views. The offering is completed by connecting rooms and kitchenettes in some units, designed for family or extended stays.

Restaurants, bars and dining experiences

The hotel's dining offering includes the restaurant Majorelle, serving seasonal cuisine, and Jacques Bar, presented as a place to enjoy a martini. The Club Room is a space reserved exclusively for hotel guests, while The Pembroke Room maintains the tradition of breakfast and weekend brunch. The hotel also offers the Lily of the Valley Afternoon Tea, an afternoon tea served at Majorelle and created in collaboration with Dior Maison, inspired by the lily of the valley, one of Christian Dior's favorite flowers. The experience, recognized by Condé Nast Traveller, is open to both guests and outside visitors and recommends advance booking due to its popularity.
