The Baccarat Suite at Baccarat Hotel New York

Why it is on the list

Baccarat Hotel New York holds the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating, and it stands on West 53rd Street opposite the Museum of Modern Art.¹ The Baccarat Suite is its signature suite, on the top floor: 1,740 sq ft with a bedroom behind floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-in closet, a living room, a dining area, a butler's pantry, a powder room, and a white marble bathroom with a separate shower and soaking tub.² Every suite stay comes with an Attaché, one person who plans the stay before arrival and looks after it throughout.²³

It sleeps two.² For a family or a party of up to seven, ask for the Baccarat Two-Bedroom Suite, 2,190 sq ft on the same floor with connecting rooms.⁴ No room in the hotel has a balcony or terrace; for a private roof terrace over Central Park, take the Penthouse at The Mark instead.²

How to get it
