The Lowell has the proportions and manners of an Upper East Side residence, occupying a discreet East 63rd Street address between Madison and Park avenues. Its 74 rooms and suites are individually appointed in a timeless residential style; selected categories add wood-burning fireplaces, terraces and full kitchens. Majorelle serves French-Mediterranean cooking beside a garden of greenery and fountains, Jacques Bar is darker and more club-like, and the Pembroke Room remains reserved for hotel guests at breakfast and weekend brunch. Central Park and Madison Avenue are both a short walk away, yet the entrance and townhouse-like scale preserve an unusually private atmosphere for this part of Manhattan.
