The flagship hotel from Baccarat Crystal leverages every ounce of its two-and-a-half-century heritage here, just south of Central Park, pulling out all the stops to erect a conspicuous Midtown heavyweight just opposite MoMA.

Hotels Own Introduction
A deep calm, warm and inviting. An orchard of sconces and chandeliers, their bright geometry hanging heavy with light. By day, rainbows cascade in the white daylight, casting a spectrum of colors from countless facets. By night, the ambiance softens to a shimmering glow, champagne flutes in hand, with gem-red roses adding a touch of romance. This is Baccarat Hotel.
The ethereal interiors were brought to life by the renowned Parisian design duo Gilles & Boissier, who poured their expertise into the hotel’s soaring salons and 114 rooms and suites. Each space is accented with signature Baccarat crystal and the fiery elegance of Baccarat red.
Culinary Excellence
Under the direction of Michelin-starred Chef Gabriel Kreuther and Executive Chef Ashfer Biju, the hotel’s dining venues offer curated, inspired culinary moments that sparkle as brightly as their surroundings.
Spa de La Mer
The hotel introduces the first-ever La Mer spa in the U.S., offering custom treatments that incorporate the brand’s renowned bio-fermentation formulas.
