Travelers' Choice
A landmark luxury hotel in the heart of Manhattan, The Lowell rises 17-floors above an iconic residential neighborhood, and is steps away from the celebrated fashion houses of Madison and Fifth Avenues and the vast oasis of Central Park. The Lowell continues to be the most highly ranked hotel in New York City. The hotel was awarded the designation as the #1 Hotel in NYC from 2019 Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards for the second year in a row, along with being recognized in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards as the #1 Hotel in NYC. The Lowell has been named the #1 Best Hotel in New York, the #1 Best Hotel in New York City and ranked #12 of the 50 Best Hotels in the USA 2020 by U.S. News & World Report in their annual Best Hotels rankings. Majorelle was bestowed the #1 spot for restaurant décor from Zagat’s New York City Restaurant Guide. Established in 1927, The Lowell reflects the timeless elegance and soul of the Upper East Side. The warmth of a familiar smile, attention to detail and discreet service welcome discerning guests as they move through chic classical spaces. Wood-burning fireplaces—a rare find in New York—landscaped terraces with sweeping city views are enjoyed in many of the sun-filled rooms and suites fashioned in the hotel’s distinctive style with the refined comforts of a private apartment. Legendary restaurateur Charles Masson oversees the property’s newest dining additions where guests come to escape the bustle of the city over seasonal cuisine at Majorelle and linger over the perfect martini at Jacques Bar. The Club Room at The Lowell offers a sophisticated setting to unwind, while the reimagined Pembroke Room upholds tradition with its beloved breakfast and afternoon tea.

We spent last week in NYC - the weather was cold, wet and windy. But when we entered The Lowell we were immediately transported into an atmosphere of comfort and warmth. The hotel has everything you expect in the top NYC hotel - the rooms are beautifully decorated, and each member of staff went out of their way to ensure that our stay was perfect. The Club Room has its own special ambiance, and Jacques Bar offers wonderful cocktails and the best service. We have already made reservations for our next visit - we can't imagine staying anywhere else.

Hotel's Favorite
The Lowell is as close as we will ever come to having a New York townhome. The doorman greets us by name. The Concierge and Front Desk staff welcome us back as if we are old friends. The attention to detail is amazing - beautiful rooms and impeccable housekeeping. We enjoyed dining in Majorelle and cocktails at Jacques Bar. The service in both was excellent. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else in NYC - The Lowell is just perfect.

Why did I ever stay anywhere else when in NYC? To be clear, I like quiet, sophisticated well appointed hotels where guest experience/satisfaction are not just words on a website. Our suite had a wood burning fireplace for Pete’s sake! Great food Sublime service Beautiful ambience Do yourself a favour when in NYC stay at this hotel.

A better experience does not exist. The entire staff is thoughtful, professional and friendly. I had a small problem the plumbing in my room and the situation was resolved immediately and professionally and I was moved to a new room. I felt so cared for. I cannot imagine staying anywhere but with The Lowell and I have been coming for over 30 years.

My husband and I have stayed at a number of Upper East Side Hotels and can say that we've found the best. The Lowell is exceptional in every way: service, amenities, the property, the dining...We have already made a reservation to come back.

To stay at The Lowell is like coming home to a private refuge. Everyone on staff treats you like an honored guest. The rooms and suites (some with working fireplaces) are beautifully decorated and maintained. Quiet perfection in the middle of Manhattan.

I have stayed in just about all of the NYC heavy hitting hotels and this is in my top two. The Lowell will forever be my NYC winter hotel!! I loved the warm coziness of the hotel and how absolutely chic it was. The service was impeccable and the room was pure luxury. I've found my calmness in a city of madness. :)

Gorgeous hotel with spacious suites and a fireplace in the room which we used every day. Jacques Bar was a standout as was the friendly service. Concierge was very helpful in obtaining restaurant reservations. Doorman was terrific.
