A man was found dead at an exclusive Upper East Side hotel Friday in an apparent drug overdose, cops said.
The ritzy hotel, where rooms start at $516 per night and go up to $2000, is one block from Central Park.
The man, in his 50s, was found in a room at The Lowell Hotel on E. 63rd St. and Madison Ave., an NYPD spokesman said.
A maid at the swanky hotel found the body when she entered the man’s room Friday afternoon, and drug residue was nearby, a police source said.
The source said the man was a “regular” at the hotel.
The man’s name was not immediately released, but he is believed to be from California, police said.
