The Lowell

On the smaller side, the 74-room Lowell Hotel is set on a quiet, tree-lined street on the Upper East Side. The Lowell is also one of the only hotels in the city with fully functional, wood-burning fireplaces, terraces and kitchens in each room. More like a townhouse rather than a temporary place to lay your head, the Lowell's staff prides themselves on their dedication to customer service and personal touches. Booking the private suite means you'll have access to four terraces, three bedrooms, three bedrooms, a top-of-the-line kitchen and a dining conservatory to host a few friends, if the occasion calls for it.
