The Lowell Hotel ,New York, NY, United States

 Not only is The Lowell Hotel in New York City the type of hotel that welcomes you with a lavish fruit basket, it’s also the type of the hotel where the staff knows which kind of fruit you enjoy and which you don’t care for, so that the basket is tailor-made to your personal preferences.And it’s this outstanding attention to detail and impeccable care for the individual that really distinguishes The Lowell Hotel in a city where luxury hotels are everywhere. The thoughtful staff makes every effort to note your personal preferences, and than cater to them. When you walk into the Pembroke Room for breakfast or brunch, you won’t even have to tell the server how you like your coffee, she’ll remember from the last time you came in. And this is why so many guests flock back to The Lowell for return visits, many of them requesting the same room. There are only 49 suites and 23 deluxe guestrooms here, making The Lowell Hotel as exclusive as the Upper East Side neighborhood it calls home.All of these rooms and suites are individually decorated, giving each a unique personality.The man behind these luxurious rooms is interior designer Michael Smith, who was recently appointed to create President Obama’s private quarters in the White House.The rooms at The Lowell feature many nice touches that truly make you feel welcome, like complimentary beverages upon arrival, Fiji water at turndown, a full selection of BVLGARI amenities, a copy of the New York Times every morning, and even a complementary shoeshine. The spacious suites feature bathrooms with Crema Marfil and Breccia Rosia marble, flat-screened televisions, mood lighting, and granite-topped kitchens. Furthermore, many of them feature terraces overlooking the Upper East Side and wood-burning fireplaces that really give The Lowell a unique residential feel. (We recommend 7D and 7E, two brand new junior suites that feature their own well-furnished private terraces). Enjoy a leisurely Sunday brunch or afternoon tea and cocktails that are regally presented in an aristocratic ambiance on hand-painted Washington Pickard China at The Pembroke Room, the hotel’s refined restaurant. This is also a great place to stop by and have a drink after a meeting or conference, or before going for a night out on the town in Manhattan.Then there is Post House, a distinctive restaurant which Wine Spectator heralded as “One of the Top 10 Steakhouses in America.” While here, we also recommend trying out Le Bilbo Quet, a hip French bistro that gets quite lively for brunch on the weekends, and where the Cajun chicken is so good guests often call to have it sent over to the hotel. The concierge can get you a table so that you don’t have to wait with the large crowd waiting to get in. Rejuvenate yourself at The Lowell Fitness Center, which overlooks East 63rd Street and is filled with the latest state of the art exercise equipment. The Lowell Hotel can be described as a perfect ‘in-between’ of the fashionable Upper East Side and bustling Midtown Manhattan. It's located on a quiet, tree-lined street off of Madison Avenue, in the midst of one of New York City’s most exclusive neighborhoods, but its still only minutes away from the thrills of Midtown Manhattan and beyond. The Lowell Hotel is just a block away from majestic Central Park, a leafy oasis in the middle of Manhattan that sprawls out over 843 verdant acres and features hiking and biking trials, an impressive zoo, ice skating in the winter, and world-class free concerts in the summer. Upscale shopping at high-end retailers like Barney’s, Bergdorf Goodman, and Bloomingdale’s are all just a short stroll away, and Museum Mile is also nearby. This strip surrounds Central Park and features some of the world’s finest art museums, like The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Guggenheim, as well as renowned Museum of Natural History, which is the largest museum of its kind in the world. The penthouse is perfect for small weddings or gatherings that are simultaneously low-key and lavish. You don’t have to worry about anything, just pick a date and let The Lowell’s dedicated staff plan all of the details and arrange the entire wedding. New York City’s Upper East Side is an area known for exclusivity and upscale lavishness, which The Lowell Hotel indeed embodies, but you will still feel relaxed and more than welcome while you are here. Furthermore, The Lowell Hotel has the added appeal of being a luxury hotel where the caring staff makes each and every effort to ensure that your stay will be unforgettable.
