Highlights

  • Discreet Upper East Side location – Tucked just off Madison Avenue, The Lowell feels quietly residential, offering a more private, understated alternative to Midtown’s busier pace.
  • A true residential feel – Rooms and suites are designed more like private apartments, many with fireplaces and terraces, creating a sense of space and comfort that’s rare in New York.
  • Individually styled interiors – Each room has its own character, with classic detailing, layered textures and a sense of quiet refinement rather than a standardised hotel look.
  • Dining at Majorelle – The hotel’s restaurant, Majorelle, brings a polished, European feel, with a loyal following and a setting that feels both elegant and intimate.
  • Intuitive, long-standing service – Service is a real strength, with a team that feels established and genuinely attentive, often remembering returning guests and their preferences.
  • A calm base for the city – After time in Manhattan, returning here feels noticeably different – quieter, more contained and far removed from the city’s constant energy.

 

Good to know

How to get there

From New York’s main airports – John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport or Newark Liberty International Airport – the journey to The Lowell typically takes 30–60 minutes by car, depending on traffic.

Helicopter transfers can be arranged into Manhattan heliports, followed by a short drive, offering a faster, more seamless arrival when timing is tight.

 

Are children welcome?

Yes – The Lowell does welcome children, but it’s very much geared towards a quiet, residential style of stay.

Families are accommodated comfortably, particularly given the generous room sizes and apartment-style layouts, which work well for those travelling with children. Its proximity to Central Park is also a real advantage.

That said, the overall atmosphere is calm, discreet and refined rather than family-focused, so it tends to suit families with older children or those happy in a more low-key setting.

 

Giving back

The Lowell takes a low-key, behind-the-scenes approach to sustainability, rather than positioning it as a defining part of the guest experience.

As an independent, smaller-scale property, its efforts are centred on efficiency and discretion – including energy-conscious operations, reduced waste and thoughtful sourcing within its kitchens and day-to-day running.

There’s also a natural alignment with sustainability in its residential model, with longer stays, spacious suites and a less transient feel contributing to a more measured use of resources.

What's nearby

  • Central Park – Just a short walk away, Central Park offers immediate access to open space, walking paths and a welcome pause from the city’s pace.
  • Madison Avenue – Right on the doorstep, Madison Avenue is lined with high-end boutiques and galleries, ideal for a more considered shopping experience.
  • Fifth Avenue – A few minutes away, Fifth Avenue brings flagship stores, cultural landmarks and some of Manhattan’s most recognisable architecture.
  • The Frick Collection – Nearby, The Frick Collection offers an intimate, house-museum experience with an exceptional collection of European art.
  • Museum Mile – Stretching along Fifth Avenue, Museum Mile includes institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, all within easy reach.
  • Upper East Side dining – The surrounding neighbourhood is filled with quietly excellent restaurants and cafés, offering a more local, low-key alternative to Midtown’s busier scene.

Why we love The Lowell, New York

Housed within a classic Upper East Side building, the hotel feels quietly residential, offering a sense of intimacy and authenticity that’s hard to replicate in Manhattan.
