PB hotel design editorial

At 28 East 63rd Street, just off Madison Avenue on one of the Upper East Side's quietest residential blocks, a 1927 Art Deco tower in rose-hued brick has spent nearly a century resisting every pressure to behave like a conventional Manhattan hotel. The Lowell was built as a luxury apartment building and has never entirely shed that identity — its 74 rooms and suites remain among the most apartment-like in New York, most with wood-burning fireplaces and private terraces, the proportions domestic rather than institutional. The entrance facade, visible in the images, carries its original ornamental detailing intact: the polychrome terra-cotta pediment above the door, the Greek key frieze at the canopy, brass-framed doors flanked by clipped box topiaries that signal a private club more than a hotel lobby. The interiors across different room categories share a consistent sensibility — silk-striped wallcovering, brass-tipped steel four-poster beds dressed in cream and camel, Oushak-style rugs over close-cropped carpet, leather club chairs, mirrored nightstands catching lamplight. The Pembroke Room, the hotel's celebrated breakfast salon, shows the building's original arched ceiling articulated in plaster, lit softly to read almost like a conservatory, towering floral arrangements anchoring each round table set in blue glass. The bar, refined in a recent update, pairs warm oak panelling with a geometric inlaid floor and a rose marble counter — restrained without feeling spare, which is precisely the tone the Lowell has sustained across its long life on this block.

About

A landmark luxury hotel in the heart of Manhattan, located at 63rd Street between Madison and Park Avenues, steps away from the fashion houses of Madison and Fifth Avenues and the vast oasis of Central Park. Established in 1927, The Lowell reflects the timeless elegance and soul of the Upper East Side. The Lowell continues to be a highly awarded hotel in New York City. The Lowell has been named the No. 2 hotel in New York City and the No. 12 favorite city hotel in the U.S. in the Travel + Leisure 2024 World’s Best Awards. The 74 key hotel has individually appointed rooms & suites and are fashioned in the hotel’s distinctive style with the refined comforts of a private home. Housed within the hotel is Majorelle, the on-property restaurant which showcases French Mediterranean cuisine. On May 1, The Lowell began a new tradition of serving Afternoon Tea at Majorelle in collaboration with Dior Maison. Jacques Bar offers classic in a lively atmosphere.

"The Lowell is just that good. The suites are genuinely spacious, with working fireplaces and furnishings that feel collected. It's more private apartment than hotel room. The staff remembered small details: coffee order, room setup, prior requests, without making a show of it. Tucked on a quiet Upper East Side block, it's close to Central Park and Madison Avenue, yet worlds away from NYC's noise. A New York stay that feels like a residence. I'd go back without hesitation."

"The Lowell has become so much more than our favorite hotel in New York City-it has become our home away from home. After our first stay at the Lowell we decided to hold our wedding there. The wedding was handled with extraordinary care, elegance, and gracious hospitality. The beauty of the hotel is timeless, but what makes The Lowell truly exceptional is the people-the service is warm, personal and consistently impeccable. We now stay at The Lowell when we visit family in NYC, and each visit reminds us why we keep coming back. On our most recent arrival, the bellman greeted us with the words, “welcome home”. Those simple words perfectly captured how we feel every time we walk through the doors. There are many beautiful hotels in New York City , but The Lowell creates the feeling that we truly belong. When we are in NYC it is our comfort zone and sanctuary. We are deeply grateful to the people at The Lowell for making every stay so memorable, and for treating us not as guests but as family."

"You can not go wrong with The Lowell. From the truly outstanding service by each and every employee to the phenomenal location to the great food and drink and the comfortable rooms, this is our new home when we go to NYC. We would never look elsewhere."

"Just left the Lowell after just a one night stay, and I can safely say everyone there already feels like family. From the welcome at the front door to the check-in and the tour of the room, our arrival made us feel incredibly at home, and this continued through breakfast in the Pembroke Room and drinks and nibbles in Jacques. The whole place has a lovely warm welcoming feel. We stayed in room 6C, which was perfect—quiet, a beautiful bathroom, lots of storage. We had booked through Amex FHR, and the welcome gifts were lovely and beautifully presented, the cocktails at Jacques were exquisite, and the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. We met Patricia, the guest relations director, not long before we left and she really went the extra mile to make our stay memorable. Truly wonderful! Her warmth and friendliness were just so delightful. We’ll miss the Lowell very much and hope to return very soon."
