Baccarat Hotel Sparkles In New York City
Parisian decadence in the heart of New York: what else could you expect, with a hotel that bears the name of the legendary French crystal company?
The Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York's aesthetic is sumptuous: the hotel glistens with crystal at every corner in the lobby, a dazzling light installation of Baccarat Harcourt glasses and throughout the hotel mood lighting, herringbone wood flooring, and rich, lavish fabrics, courtesy of design duo Gilles & Boissier. Lest you think that you’ve somehow crossed the Atlantic, the hotel is located smack-dab in Midtown, across the MoMA, and a stroll away from the Rockefeller Centre.
