Since opening in 1927, The Lowell has quietly upheld its status as a beloved landmark nestled between Park and Madison Avenues on Manhattan’s elegant Upper East Side. For nearly a century, this timeless hotel has been a haven for discerning guests drawn to its refined elegance and understated charm. Within its storied walls, novels have been penned, plays conceived, and scripts studied. Artists, musicians, actors, and statesmen alike have sought retreat here, while guests from around the world are welcomed as part of an extended family.
At The Lowell, luxury is woven into thoughtful details, and history lingers in every corner. While rich in heritage, our true legacy lies in the warmth of our service, the dedication of our longstanding team, and the unique atmosphere we’ve cultivated. Guests can savor serene escapes within Majorelle, Jacques Bar, The Club Room, and the beloved Pembroke Room—all offering peaceful respites from the city's bustle. We invite you to explore our culinary offerings, where something awaits everyone, day or night.
