The Lowell
New York City, United States · ★★★★★ · 9.6/10 Exceptional · guest rating
A 5-star boutique hotel on a quiet Upper East Side street, with residential-style suites, a library, a terrace and Central Park three minutes on foot.
The Lowell is on East 63rd Street, between Madison and Park Avenues, on a tree-lined block of the Upper East Side. The building dates from 1927 and keeps the feel of a private residence: a lobby with a fireplace, a library and a terrace. It is a small hotel with many suites, some with a wood-burning fireplace, a full kitchen or a private terrace. It suits travelers who prefer a reserved setting to the bustle of Midtown.
The hotel has several places to eat and drink, including an American restaurant, an afternoon tea salon and a bar. Guests have a gym, room service, a concierge and a refrigerator in the room. Policies for children and extra-bed rates are best checked directly with the hotel before you travel. Each space has its own hours, so ask about them when you reserve.

The setting
The hotel sits on a quiet residential street, a step from Madison Avenue, famous for its boutiques, and from Central Park. Rooms and suites stand out for their classic decor, period furniture and marble bathrooms. Among the suites are options with a living room, a kitchen and a private terrace. Because the building is intimate in scale, the atmosphere is quieter than at the large hotels in central Manhattan.
