The Lowell, New York
28 East 63rd Street (between Madison and Park Avenues)
New York, NY 10021
The Lowell's leafy neighborhood.
-----
Architect Henry S. Churchill is best known for his work in city planning, but he also took the time to design the Lowell, a luxury apartment. The Lowell was built by Leo Wise and opened in 1926. It was built as a seventeen-story apartment hotel, with a first floor restaurant and lobby, and upper floors divided into one and two bedroom suites. Its Art Deco / Modern facade is a distinguished design in brick and glazed terra cotta, which integrates the ground floor entrance with a flat, subtly detailed center section of the building and topping with a series of terraced setbacks on the upper floors.
The Upper East Side Historic District Designation Report from the 1980s described the 17-story building as utilitarian in overall conception but is enlivened by a handsome entry motif and variegated brick bonding patterns on the upper floors.
From the architecture to the service, this hotel today reflects discreet aristocratic and understated European elegance. With its significant 1920's exterior architecture, The Lowell Hotel is integral to the character of the Upper East Side Historic District.
Fouad Chartouni and his brother Nabil own the Lowell. They are Lebanese real estate investors and developers. Fouad Chartouni is president of Kensico Properties, a real-estate holding company in New York. He graduated from the American University of Beirut and received a master's degree in business from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a doctorate in economics from Columbia University. His father is a real-estate developer in Beirut.
The Chartouni's bought the 130-room Lowell in 1982 for $6 million. They spent 30 months and $25 million transforming it into an Art Deco extravaganza, taking their cue from its original look. The original name was kept in recognition of its rich history.
With understated European elegance and an intimate ambience, The Lowell New York is a boutique hotel offering 47 suites and 25 deluxe rooms. Each room features traditional architectural details, original art and antiques, opulent fabrics, and communication and entertainment state-of-the-art technology. Many of the suites feature private terraces as well as wood burning fireplaces.
In a 1986 New York Times article it mentions the hotels room rates were averaging $220 for a double room and $360 for a one-bedroom suite. The owner Fouad Chartouni indicated the hotel attracts a lot of elite film industry executives and CEOs from the major fashion design, publishing and financial worlds.
Celebrities like to hide out in the hotel. Madonna at one time lived in the hotel’s 1,000 square foot Manhattan Suite.
He said the hotel's occupancy has been over 80% since opening.
In 1975 the Grand Café opened at the Lowell Hotel. Its interior had Deco elegance and crystal chandeliers from Loews State theatre. By 1979 the restaurant was known as Christophers.
The Lobby is contiguous to the Post House Restaurant, the entrance of which is separated by an original 1920's door.
It was Alan Stillman With $5,000 of his own money and $5,000 borrowed from his mother, bought a bar he often visited, The Good Tavern at the corner of 63rd Street and First Avenue, and renamed it T.G.I. Friday. He sold his interest in the TGIF Fridays chain for $1 million to the Carlson Cos. in 1976. In 1977 Stillman opened the first Smith & Wollensky. In 1980 Stillman opened the Post House at the Lowell Hotel. Stillman still operates The Post House.
In 1993 Fouad Chartouni acquired the 114-room L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, California for an estimated $12 million. Chartouni’s investment group, La Hotel Properties Inc., purchased the foreclosed property from Mission Viejo-based Independence One Bank of California. La Hotel Properties would invest $20 million in renovating and at one time considered changing its name to the Lowell – but did not.
In 2010 it was reported Nabil Chartouni, the Lowell Hotel owner was looking to refinance a $60 million mortgage on the 72-room hotel. RBS Greenwich Capital originated the existing 5-year $60 million mortgage in August 2005 for Chartouni’s Kensico Properties. In November 2010 HVS Capital served as exclusive financial advisor and assisted with the restructure and extension of a $60 million first mortgage for The Lowell New York.

Art Deco architecture symbolizes New York City and the 43-story New Yorker Hotel represents that image.
Construction began in 1929, just prior to the onset of the Great Depression -- and one year before ground was broken for The Empire State Building three blocks away. The $22.5 million building opened for business the day after New Year's Day in 1930. Zoning laws required the architects Sugarman and Berger to design the structure with a pyramidal, set-back tower that would provide the greatest height and the greatest amount of street side sunlight. At the time it opened, it was the largest at 2,500 rooms and tallest at 43-storys hotel in New York City. It boasted a pbx room with 92 telephone operators, a laundry with 150 workers, a barbershop had 42 chairs and 20 manicurists and a kitchen with 35 chefs. Penn Station just down the avenue and connected by underground tunnel deposited a steady streams of guests.
Sugarman & Berger also designed the Sutton Place (now known as aka Sutton Place) the Helmsley Middletowne Hotel and the Mayfair Hotel in Philadelphia.
Mack Kanner, a chief developer of the Garment Center, was the developer and builder of the hotel. However, according to Wikipedia the hotel's mortgage holder, Manufacturers Trust, hired Ralph Hitz to manage the venture. Hitz was able to turn a profit even during the depression. This prompted Manufacturers Trust to hire Hitz to control all of its hotels. In 1932, the National Hotel Management Company was created, with Ralph Hitz as the president. At Hitz's death in 1940, the National Hotel Management Company managed the New Yorker, the Lexington and the Belmont Plaza hotels (New York); the Congress (Chicago); the Netherland Plaza (Cincinnati); the Adolphus (Dallas); the Van Cleve (Dayton); the Book-Cadillac (Detroit); and the Nicollet (Minneapolis).
The opening brochure for the New Yorker describes the guest rooms: "Every bedroom has a radio loud speaker with a choice of four programs; both tub and shower bath; Servidor; circulating ice water; hand telephone; bed-head reading lamps; full-length mirror and full-sized beds. Every room has two or more windows and all rooms are outside and flooded with light and air. Floor secretaries on each floor take your messages when you are out and prevent the annoyance of standing in crowded lines in the lobby to receive your mail and keys."
The brochure describes the New Yorker's heat, light and power facilities: "Seventy-eight feet below the sidewalk is the largest private power plant in the world. Five steam engines and oil-burning Diesel engine produce enough light, heat, power and refrigeration for the average city of thirty-five thousand people. Compressed air forces pulverized coal under the furnaces and blows the ashes out again. The engineering equipment includes the air-cleaning machinery which draws in air on the roof, washes and purifies it, and then forces it down into the restaurant, lobby, ballrooms and other public spaces."
The brochure describes its bellboys as "snappy-looking as West Pointers". It was a Hotel New Yorker bellboy, Johnny Roventini, who served as tobacco company Phillip Morris' pitchman for twenty years, making famous their "Call for Phillip Morris" advertising campaign.
The New Yorker Hotel was purchased by Hilton Hotels in 1953 for $12.5 million and sold just three years later, in 1956, for $20 million to hotel executive Joseph Massaglia and his company Massaglia Hotels. In 1953 Massaglia Hotels also owned the Hotel Waikiki Biltmore in Honolulu, the Hotel Raleigh in Washington DC and the Hotel Miramar in Santa Barbara, California. In 1959, Massaglia sold the hotel to an investment syndicate known as New York Towers Ltd., which allowed the hotel to fall into foreclosure allowing Hilton to reacquire the building in 1967. The construction of new, more modern hotels directly caused the New Yorker to become unprofitable. Hilton closed the hotel in April 1972. The hotel was left vacant until Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church acquired it for $5.6 million to serve as its World Mission Center and church housing.
On July 1, 1982 4,000 followers of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon gathered in the second-floor Grand Ballroom of the New Yorker Hotel and entered into marriage contracts with strangers whom the reverend had picked for them. Beginning in 1994 the church began to re-open it as a public hotel. The church still controls it, but has entered into a lease with an entitiy known as the New Yorker Hotel Management Company to operate it.
In 2008 New Yorker Hotel Management Company hired Stonehill & Taylor to restore the hotel to its former glory. The 18-month, $70 million renovation included: Installation of a new heating and air conditioning system; Total overhaul of furniture, carpets, wallpaper and fixtures in both the guest rooms and the hallways; Complete redesign of the lobby to recapture the grandeur and feel of when the New Yorker opened in 1930; Facelift of the entire front of the hotel on Eighth Avenue – replacing signage, re-facing the stonework, and changing the marquee; Upgrade and refurbishment of the hotel’s restaurants (La Vigna Ristorante (now known as Cooper's Tavern) and the 24-hour Tick Tock Diner.
Since 2000 the New Yorker has been a franchise of the Ramada hotel chain.
