Manhattan Wine Bars with Fireplaces: Cozy Spots for Dates & Winter Nights

Shake off winter’s chill on the Upper East Side at The Lowell Hotel, where the Warmth & Wine getaway is crafted to make your stay cozy and relaxing. One of the few hotels in Manhattan that still offers guestrooms with genuine wood-burning fireplaces, this elegant property—established in 1927—remains a celebrated luxury landmark.

Available through Dec. 31, the winter-themed package includes a bottle of wine, a charcuterie selection, an assorted cheese platter, a bundle of applewood for the fireplace, and an American-style breakfast for two. Guests can personalize the experience by choosing a scent to enjoy in their room: woodsy cedar for grounding comfort, fresh eucalyptus for balance and clarity, sweet lavender for calming relief, invigorating rosemary, or pure tea tree for a clean, uplifting aroma. Rates start at $1,245 and require a two-night minimum stay.

The Lowell’s combination of classic details and thoughtful modern amenities creates an intimate retreat in the heart of the city. The wood-burning fireplaces add a rare, authentic warmth that enhances the seasonal package, while the curated food and beverage selections—paired with breakfast service—make this an appealing option for a winter escape. Whether you’re seeking a quiet, fireside evening or a romantic weekend with small luxuries, the Warmth & Wine offering is designed to provide comfort and relaxation on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

For visitors who value atmosphere and personalized touches, the scent choices and applewood bundle complement the hotel’s historic character and attentive service. The package’s inclusions are intended to simplify planning so guests can focus on enjoying the moment: the crackle of the fire, a glass of wine, and thoughtfully prepared bites to share. With its prime location and distinguished heritage, The Lowell presents a seasonal stay that pairs traditional elegance with a contemporary, sensory-focused approach.
