A precious crystal in a collection of New York hotels. French chic and aristocratic brilliance in the world capital of the 21st century – this is the flagship hotel of the new new Baccarat hotel brand, which nevertheless has centuries-old European roots.
Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York is the first hotel of the famous Baccarat house, with which it opens the history of the new hotel brand Baccarat Hotels & Resorts.
The extraordinary hotel is located in a magnificent building in one of the best neighborhoods of Manhattan right in front of the Museum of Modern Art. The architectural masterpiece, a fifty-story prismatic tower resembling a Baccarat crystal, was created by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
The spacious interiors combine classic luxury with a modern approach to the vision of living spaces. Hand-woven silk fabrics, tapestries and carpets, carefully selected natural stone samples, silver décor, objets d’art – every piece of furniture and every detail was thought out and created by the architects Gilles & Boissier especially for this hotel. And, of course, they filled the spaces with the glittering brilliance of Baccarat crystal.
Another pride of the hotel is its magnificent art collection. Frédéric Chambre, a renowned Parisian art historian and antique dealer, collected outstanding works of art from the seventeenth century to the present day especially for the hotel and the Baccarat House, and today they have taken their rightful place in the beautiful interiors of the New York hotel. In addition, the hotel’s lobby and residential floor lobbies are adorned with original Baccarat Harcourt pieces decorated by eleven renowned American artists.
