Baccarat Hotel

Your surroundings here are just as elegant as the Baccarat Hotel itself, with the rarefied Fifth Avenue – one of the world’s most exclusive streets – just a stone’s throw away. The hotel is located opposite the fashionable Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) and just a short walk to the Rockefeller Center and Central Park.

Modelled on a luxurious Parisian pied-a-terre, your room combines a classic look with the height of modern luxury. Atelier Rooms feature elegant sconce lights, a sophisticated colour palette of white and silver, and stunning bathrooms in white marble. Grand Classic rooms have plush four-poster beds with cashmere throws and views over 53rd Street, while the stunning Baccarat Suite, with ornate chandeliers and marble dining table, is the epitome of luxury. The beautiful chandeliers and glassware you’ll see throughout the hotel is no coincidence – as well as hotels, Baccarat specialise in fine crystal jewellery.

The sleek bathrooms feature white marble, and other special touches include flatscreen TVs concealed within smoky mirrors and red lacquer mini-bars with Maison Ladurée treats and Baccarat crystal stemware.

The Grand Salon captures the elegance of a traditional Parisian dining hall, with parquet floors, silk-covered walls and glittering Baccarat chandeliers. The food, courtesy of two-Michelin-starred chef Gabriel Kreuther, is just as exquisite, with French dishes such as duck a l’orange and steak au poivre the speciality. Enjoy freshly-baked pastries for breakfast, decadent afternoon teas which are held daily. The adjacent bar is a classy spot for a classic expertly-crafted cocktail in crystal tumblers.

In between taking in the many iconic sights of New York, visit the indulgent Spa De La Mer, a luxurious space decked out in white marble and wood, where you can indulge in a varied menu of spa treatments including facials, Swedish and hot stone massages, and aromatherapy. You’ll also find a well-equipped gym, and an indoor pool lined with cabana-style daybeds inspired by the Cote d’Azur.

The city that never sleeps is your playground here, with some of New York’s most iconic sights just a short walk away. Central Park is the city’s great green lung and one of the world’s great city parks, perfect for walking and cycling, while just across the road is the world-class Museum of Modern Art. Other highlights include the Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, which plays host to all kinds of cultural performances across several venues.
