As spring settles over New York City in soft petals and pastel skies, we walk you through a day at The Lowell this Spring season.
Morning Elegance
Start with breakfast at The Pembroke Room, The Lowell’s serene dining space known for its timeless ambiance. Order the fresh-baked pastries and sip a cappuccino as light pours in through the tall windows—it’s quiet Upper East Side luxury at its finest.
Stroll to the Met or Visit Frieze Art Fair
The Metropolitan Museum of Art awaits—its iconic steps alive with excitement in the lead-up to the Gala. Discover fashion inspiration in the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, or find a quiet moment beside the Temple of Dendur before the crowds roll in. For art enthusiasts, May also brings the Frieze Art Fair—a must-visit celebration of contemporary creativity.
Fifth Avenue Shopping & Bloomingdale’s Run
Window shop the spring collections along Madison and Fifth Avenue, or stop by Bloomingdale’s for a quick refresh. Designer boutiques are in full bloom—just like Central Park.
Afternoon Reset
Return to The Lowell for an elegant Lily of the Valley Afternoon Tea at Majorelle. Our new Spring menu has also arrived, featuring fresh seasonal dishes for you to discover.
Met Gala Watch
For those staying through the first Monday in May, the hotel becomes a discreet, luxurious retreat—an ideal base for those in the know. On Met Gala day, New York takes on an electric energy. Fifth Avenue buzzes with anticipation, sidewalks fill with fashion watchers and photographers, and the city feels like it’s holding its breath for a glimpse of glamour. From early morning preparations to late-night afterparties, the atmosphere is charged with creativity, couture, and a palpable sense of occasion.
After-Dark Chic
End the night at Jacques Bar, sipping a martini surrounded by mahogany, velvet, and old-world glam. You’re in the city’s most timeless corner.
Spring at The Lowell isn’t just a stay—it’s a mood.
Especially during May, where the worlds of fashion, art, and elegance collide, and you just might find yourself in the heart of it all.
