Guests of The Lowell have been known to spot the likes of Cindy Crawford and Erdem sipping cocktails in the hotel’s chic bar, Jacques, and Kelly Rutherford and Selma Blair enjoying lunch in stylish restaurant, Majorelle, both of which are inspired by the iconic Yves Saint Laurent gardens in Marrakech.
To celebrate Fashion Week 2019, The Lowell has launched an exclusive new fashion-inspired afternoon tea, available to guests and visitors alike, from 4th – 15th September in the hotel’s glamorous, newly refurbished Pembroke Room.

This will be paired with delicious cookies, shaped as whimsical fashion garments, including the iconic Boucle Jacket Cookie, CC Logo Cookie and 2:55 Matelassé Purse Cookie.
