On a quiet, tree-lined street on Manhattan’s Upper East Side is this intimate and luxurious hotel. It is one block from Central Park, and three blocks from the lavish stores of Fifth Avenue. Rooms are classically and beautifully furnished, intended by famed US designer, Michael Smith, to feel like your ‘home away from home’, rather than a hotel room. Complimentary refreshments and toiletries are in every room, often personalized to each guest. The novel bathroom amenities are created by the owner and are exclusive to The Lowell. Guests, many of whom come back year after year, talk of ‘exemplary’ service where the seasoned staff makes you feel ‘so welcome, and where they know your name’. Breakfast, afternoon tea and pre-theatre dinner are served at the restaurant. The hotel has a Guest Relations Manager who will arrange will arrange whatever you need before your visit, and will provide complimentary gifts for children and for those celebrating special events at the hotel.
