Midtown Manhattan · West 53rd Street · Across From MoMA

Baccarat Hotel New York

In 1764, a bishop from the Lorraine region of France obtained a royal warrant to establish a glassworks in a small village on the Meurthe River. Two hundred and sixty years later, that village gave its name to a hotel on 53rd Street — and Manhattan has never looked quite the same at night.

West 53rd Street · Crystal And Light

The building announces itself before one reaches the door. A corrugated glass facade catches the light from Fifth Avenue and refracts it — differently at noon, differently at dusk, differently again when the city goes dark and the chandeliers inside begin their work. Paris-based design duo Gilles & Boissier conceived nearly every piece of furniture in the hotel, from the soaring salon-style public spaces to each of the 114 rooms and suites. Their brief was precise: a contemporary Manhattan interpretation of the classic French hôtel particulier. The result is neither pastiche nor imitation. It is something more considered — a conversation between two cities, conducted in crystal and silk.

Seventeen custom Baccarat chandeliers hang throughout the public spaces. In the lobby, 250 white leather-bound books line an alcove — each numbered from 1764, the year the crystalworks was founded, to the present. Guests are invited to write on any page. It is Baccarat's way of saying that the house has always been in the business of marking time beautifully.

The Rooms & Suites · 114 Keys · Parisian Logic On Manhattan Scale

One hundred and fourteen rooms and suites, each furnished with Baccarat crystal accents, Maison Francis Kurkdjian toiletries, four-poster beds dressed in premium linens, and bathrooms in white marble. Floor-to-ceiling windows in select suites frame the Midtown skyline or the glass pavilions of MoMA directly across the street. A personal host is assigned to every reservation — not a front desk agent, but a dedicated contact available from arrival to departure. The distinction is small in description. It is considerable in experience.

Prestige Suite · 850 sq ft · One Bedroom

French proportions · Manhattan energy · Baccarat crystal throughout

The Prestige Suite spans 850 square feet across a single bedroom — designed with an exquisite sense of proportion, perfection and purpose. Built on French traditions, charged with the energy of Manhattan. Baccarat crystal fixtures in every room. White marble bathrooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows. The suite that established the standard for every room in the building.

Harcourt Suite · 1,277 sq ft · Two Bedrooms

Named after Baccarat's iconic glassware line · Separate living area · Two full baths

Named after one of Baccarat's most celebrated crystal lines, the Harcourt Suite measures 1,277 square feet across two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a separate living area. The proportions are those of a Parisian apartment — generous, unhurried, organized around the pleasure of being inside. One of the most complete accommodations in Midtown Manhattan.

The Baccarat Suite · The Pinnacle

The house's foremost address · Crystal, silk, and Manhattan at one's feet

The Baccarat Suite is the apex of the house — the room where the crystal heritage of 1764 and the ambition of 53rd Street meet without compromise. Every surface, every fixture, every detail references the maison's savoir-faire. It is not a hotel room with good views. It is a statement about what luxury looks like when it has had two and a half centuries to refine itself.

Grand Salon · Gabriel Kreuther · All Day

Culinary Director · Two Michelin Stars · Alsatian-inspired cuisine

The Grand Salon is the social heart of the hotel — a soaring room dressed in pleated silk walls, parquet floors, and velvet banquettes, anchored by a 64-arm Baccarat chandelier. Culinary Director Gabriel Kreuther, two Michelin stars and a James Beard Award, oversees a menu of Alsatian-inflected French cuisine served all day. Afternoon tea is conducted with Mariage Frères blends. Champagne flows at a ritual hour each evening. Craft cocktails arrive in cut-crystal tumblers. One does not simply dine in the Grand Salon. One takes up residence in it for an afternoon.

The Bar · A Room Unto Itself

18-meter counter · Outdoor terrace overlooking MoMA · Nightly service

Adjacent to the Grand Salon, The Bar draws from three distinct references: the great American bars of the early twentieth century, the French ballroom, and the barrel-vaulted royal stables of Versailles. An 18-meter counter. An outdoor terrace with a direct sight line to MoMA. Glittering chandeliers above. The result is a room that is seductive, theatrical, and entirely its own. New York has many bars. This one has provenance.

Spa de La Mer · The First In America

Four treatment rooms · 55-ft marble pool · Sauna · Steam · Daybeds

The Baccarat Hotel houses the first Spa de La Mer on American soil — four private treatment rooms, a 55-foot marble swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and plush daybeds arranged in the manner of a French Riviera pool club, transplanted above 53rd Street. La Mer's marine actives applied with the precision the brand is known for. One enters expecting a treatment. One leaves having spent an afternoon in another country.

In the lobby, 250 books are numbered from 1764 to today.
Guests are invited to write on any page.
Baccarat has always understood
that the finest crystal is the one that holds a memory.

The Citroën DS · A French Gesture In A Yellow Cab City

In a city that runs on yellow taxis and black town cars, the Baccarat Hotel keeps a flame-red Citroën DS on call for its guests. A 1960s specimen — French engineering at its most assured, its most cinematic. Available for transfers within a 15-block radius. It is, objectively, an unnecessary detail. It is also, unmistakably, the right one. Paris does not explain itself. Neither does the DS.

53rd Street · MoMA · The Neighborhood As Context

The Museum of Modern Art begins directly across the street. Rockefeller Center is two blocks east. Carnegie Hall four blocks north. Radio City Music Hall half a block away. The flagship stores of Fifth Avenue begin at the corner. Central Park is eight minutes on foot. The Baccarat Hotel did not choose its address by accident — it placed itself at the precise intersection of culture, commerce, and the kind of Manhattan that existed before either word became a marketing category.

Baccarat has been making crystal since 1764.
It took two and a half centuries, a bishop's warrant, and a corner on 53rd Street
to understand that the most beautiful thing one can cast in glass
is the light of a city that never stops moving.
