November 5, 2007 – NEW YORK – Following the stunning renovation of the hotel’s penthouse last year, The Lowell New York again tapped acclaimed interior designer Michael Smith to refashion the hotel’s extraordinary Garden Suite. This one-bedroom suite offers a city rarity with its two terraces - one, a sitting area with a fountain and the other, a cozy dining area.

While the suite reflects his talent of seamlessly blending new with antique and contemporary with traditional, it has a soft, romantic feel and European charm, such as the four-poster bed – an inspiration from the garden terrace and its greenery – and a handcrafted, antique-inspired armoire in the living room.

Using a palette of soft blues and greens, the chosen fabrics are Cowtan & Towt, some from Smith’s eponymous line of textiles. Many of the elements evoke nature, such as the bedroom’s floral 18th-century Chinese inspired wallpaper by Oplontis, the kitchen’s limestone floor and the hardwood floors throughout the living area. All the suite’s artwork is photographic landscapes from Lumas by David Burdeny, Douglas Busch and Manfred Paul.

Each terrace is beautifully planted to capture the changing seasons, one offers a settee with two lounge chairs and the other features dining for four. Luxurious “Statuary” marble covers the walls and floors of the bathroom, and bathroom fixtures are from the Michael S. Smith Collection For Town created for Kallista.

The suite also offers a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen and a wood-burning fireplace; as well as, several iPod docking stations and a sound system; flat-screen televisions; cordless phones; complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access; and complimentary services and amenities such as The New York Times daily; shoe shine; Fiji water; nightly turndown service; and access to the Lowell’s Fitness Center.

The Lowell New York hotel, centrally located on 63rd Street between Madison and Park Avenues and steps away from the city’s famed designer boutiques, offers 47 suites and 23 deluxe rooms, all of which are uniquely decorated with exquisite antique furnishings. Many of the suites, including the recently renovated Penthouse Suite, feature private terraces as well as wood burning fireplaces.
