What The Lowell actually is

The Lowell was built in 1927 as an apartment hotel, and it still reads that way — 74 rooms and suites, many with functioning wood-burning fireplaces and a good number with private terraces or full kitchens. It is one of the last genuinely small luxury hotels in Manhattan.

Majorelle, the restaurant off the lobby, is set in a garden room with a retractable roof and has become a fixture of Upper East Side dining. The location on East 63rd puts Central Park, Madison Avenue and Bloomingdale's all within a few blocks.

What stands out

  • 01 Wood-burning fireplaces in many suites
  • 02 Private terraces and full kitchens in select rooms
  • 03 Majorelle restaurant with a retractable garden roof

Where it sits

Quiet, residential, and lined with the museums of the Fifth Avenue Mile. Hotels here are smaller and calmer than Midtown, and the trade-off is a longer ride to downtown nightlife.
