About The Lowell

The picture of classic New York style, The Lowell is established as one of the world’s best luxury hotels, a small haven that makes a major statement in a city of fine accommodations. Known for its discreet service and high-profile, international clientele, the 74-key hotel specializes in quintessential luxury with a European sensibility in the heart of New York.

Housed within the hotel is Majorelle; a destination in itself for inventive dining. Majorelle was inspired by the Jardin Majorelle in Morocco, one of the most enchanting and botanically diverse gardens in the world, which was conceived by French artist Jacques Majorelle in 1922. The restaurant showcases French cuisine punctuated by Italian and Moroccan touches. Jacques Bar offers classic and innovative cocktails in a lively atmosphere. The Lowell is a member of Leading Hotels of the World.

According to Christian Dior “living in a house which does not suit you is like wearing someone else’s clothes”. With the opening of his first boutique, the couturier conceived a space offering accessories and gifts for the home, a very personal way to share his passion for French art de vivre and the elegance of entertaining. Dedicated to all kinds of objects and the art of gifting, Christian Dior loved this boutique, called ‘Colifichets’, which was created at the same time as his couture house, in 1947, at 30 Avenue Montaigne. 

Since 2017, the Artistic Director of Dior Maison, Cordelia de Castellane, has reinvented Dior emblematic codes and pursues the couturier-aesthete’s passion for the art of living by offering a wide variety of tableware and decorative objects. An invitation to embellish your home with the House’s iconic codes.

The Lily of The Valley Tea is available at Majorelle Wednesday – Saturday from 12:30pm to 4:30pm and Sunday from 1:00pm to 6:00pm.
