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.

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.
