My wife and I visited The Lowell Hotel in Upper East Manhattan to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary, and the Lily of the Valley Afternoon Tea, a collaboration between The Lowell and Dior Maison by the Majorelle team, was truly unforgettable. We’ve experienced several popular afternoon teas in the city, but this one stood out in every way. The presentation, food, and tea were all exquisite, and the floral arrangements were absolutely stunning—fitting, since my wife is a florist and a longtime admirer of Dior. What truly set this experience apart was the hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and cared for. Jessica, the hostess, went above and beyond by graciously accommodating a last-minute change to our reservation and later stopping by our table to make sure everything was perfect. We had a lovely chat with her about how genuine hospitality can elevate an experience, and this afternoon was the perfect example of that. Fabio, our server, was also wonderful—attentive, kind, and professional throughout. Everything was perfect from start to finish. It was elegant, intimate, and deeply memorable—an afternoon that beautifully blended art, floristry, and timeless luxury. I’m so glad we chose to celebrate here.

We just returned from another wonderful stay at the Lowell. The staff greeted us like old friends - each one went out of their way to make us comfortable. Our suite was spacious and beautifully decorated, and our housekeeper kept it in perfect order. |We love Jacques Bar - the epitome of Upper East Side sophistication, with delicious food to go along with the imaginative cocktails. Dinner at Majorelle is not to be missed. |The Lowell's location makes it easy to visit the shops on Madison Avenue, Central Park, the Frick Collection and the Metropolitan Museum. It's the perfect spot. We love staying there and can't wait for our next visit.

The lowell Hotel is by far my favorite hotel in NYC! Such a beautiful and safe location and walkable to all the amazing shopping and restaurants that the city has to offer. I stayed for 16 days and was treated like a Princess. Everyone from the valet, front desk, housekeeping to management were so kind to me. The hotel is so lovely and spotless and room service was delicious. I can't say enough positive things about The Lowell Hotel. I am returning for my 3rd trip in October and can't wait!
