CRYSTAL CLEAR
BACCARAT HOTEL, NEW YORK CITY
A stay at Baccarat Hotel in New York is like living inside a jewellery box: impossibly elegant, understatedly ornate and, of course, filled with fabulous shiny objects.
The whimsical interiors were brought to life by Parisbased design duo Gilles & Boissier, who left no crystal unturned when it came to the hotel’s soaring common spaces and 114 rooms and suites.
The entire property is adorned with Baccarat crystal in the form of glassware and chandeliers, complemented by pops of fiery Baccarat red—including in the form of fresh red roses.
Its beauty offerings are pretty sweet, too, going all out with luxurious bathroom amenities by French perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. The property also boasts the only dedicated spa in the US by premium skincare brand La Mer.
The hotel is in a prime location in the heart of Manhattan, just a block away from MoMa, a short walk from Eric Ripert’s Le Bernardin restaurant and a stone’s throw from Fifth Avenue. If you’re venturing further out, you can cruise the streets of the city in style thanks to the hotel’s luxury house car service.
