For those who move in the world of high fashion, where discretion is key and luxury is a given, The Lowell Hotel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side is a stylish sanctuary. Located just steps from Madison Avenue’s designer boutiques and a short ride from the city’s most exclusive fashion events, The Lowell is more than a boutique hotel — it’s an elegant and refined home away from home for discerning creatives and fashion industry’s elite.
This year, The Lowell Hotel’s rooms and suites — many of which feature stunning views of the city skyline and Central Park — provided an idyllic backdrop for designers, editors, and tastemakers requiring both inspiration and tranquility amid the frenzy of New York Fashion Week. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street between Park and Madison Avenues, The Lowell Hotel — affectionately known to New Yorkers as ‘The Lowell’ — is an intimate retreat that keeps its guests within arm’s reach of all that New York has to offer.
The Lowell’s spacious accommodations are designed with a residential feel, blending British charm and Parisian elegance with classic New York sophistication. Rich wood-burning fireplaces – a rarity in New York City, hand-selected fine art, and plush furnishings make each suite an oasis of comfort. For fashion insiders, the generous layouts provided the perfect setting for pre-show preparations, private fittings, or simply unwinding after a whirlwind day of runway shows and events.
Beyond its impeccable interiors, The Lowell boasts uniquely curated experiences that complement the hotel’s timeless aesthetic and elegant mood. This season, The Lowell introduces Lily of the Valley Afternoon Tea, an exclusive collaboration with Dior Maison. This refined tea service is a tribute to Christian Dior’s passion for gardens and his signature aesthetic. Dior Maison has curated every detail, from the elegant tableware to a thoughtfully designed menu that reflects the designer’s favorite colors and inspirations. This offering blends haute couture with culinary artistry, making it a must-experience ritual for hotel guests and fashionable foodies.
In New York City, Fashion Week is not just about the runway — it was about the afterparties, the intimate dinners, and the spaces where deals were sealed over a perfectly crafted cocktail. Jacques Bar and Majorelle, The Lowell’s acclaimed dining destinations, were at the heart of this scene.
Jacques Bar recently paid tribute to New York Fashion Week with a bespoke menu of sartorially-themed cocktails and culinary pairings inspired by legendary fashion designers. Chic, dimly lit, and effortlessly stylish, the bar was the perfect setting for a post-show martini or a quiet tête-à-tête between industry insiders. Meanwhile, Majorelle, named after Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic home and garden in Marrakech, offers a refined take on European and Moroccan cuisine while honoring the culinary traditions of American fine dining.
Insider Tip: The Poulet Rôti Grand-Mère (roast chicken with potato, mushroom, and bacon) is a must — presented whole on a silver platter and served halved, this dish is as beautiful as it is delicious.
With its intimate charm, impeccable service, and deep-rooted connection to New York’s fashion scene, The Lowell Hotel remains the definitive destination for those seeking both luxury and privacy during their time in the city. Whether in town for Fashion Week, a designer launch, a weekend of luxury shopping, or a quiet retreat from the spotlight, The Lowell is where style leaders come to stay, dine, and unwind in the most sophisticated way possible.
