Review
Opened in 2015, the glamorous Baccarat is reminiscent of a French aristocratic home fused with a sleek Manhattan high-rise, and each of the 114 guest rooms are designed to make guests feel at home. Located across the street from the MoMA and right next to Fifth Avenue with its endless restaurants and shopping options, the luxe hideout is great for guests looking to explore the city from a Midtown base.
The 114 rooms at the Baccarat feature French design details (thanks to the Parisian duo responsible for the interiors) including silk walls, jacquard bed covers, white marble bathrooms and Fauchon-stocked mini bars. The Baccarat boasts several dining venues, including hot spot bar The Bar (designed to resemble the stable at Versailles), a glitzy space with a lovely outdoor terrace. Guests and locals can dine at the bar, in the Grand Salon, which is open all day.
There is a tranquil La Mer–appointed spa, located on the same floor as the elegant pool, which features cabanas with day beds. The state-of-the-art gym allows guests to workout on their own or with a personal trainer. The Baccarat provides the additional service of a chauffeured transfer anywhere within 15 blocks of the hotel in their Mercedes.
Who Should Stay
Couples and families looking for a luxurious hotel in central Manhattan.
