If you´re planning on visiting New York City (NYC) soon, and
want to try a different and relaxing pace in the afternoon, we
recommend a fantastic Afternoon Tea experience.
This kind of experience is growing in the city that never sleeps,
especially in the most exquisite and refined hotels, that offer it
with different particularities.
Coveted Magazine had the amazing opportunity to experience
one of the best places in NYC, the Baccarat Hotel & Residences
New York. The Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York is the first
hotel and global flagship for the more than two-hundred-and-
fifty-year-old Baccarat crystal brand, and it can be found directly
across the street from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) as
well as steps away from the Fifth Avenue. This sumptuous fifty-
storey tower features sixty private residences with access to all
hotel amenities, 114 guest rooms and suites as well as a glamorous
second-storey lobby salons and bar. The conception and aesthetics
were the responsibility of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill that
served as architects for Baccarat. The Paris-based interior design
firm, Gilles & Boissier led the creation of the hotel´s interiors, the
New York- based designer, Tony Ingrao – which was honoured
in Architectural Digest Top 100 - managed the residential design.
The hotel occupies the first twelve floors of the split-level tower
and pays tribute to two hundred and fifty years of history of the
Baccarat Brand, mixing French classic aesthetics with modern
contemporary design. In the ground-floor-entrance, we can find
four-foot-tall dual-sided fireplaces that pay homage to Baccarat´s
furnaces. Behind the entrance, there’s an installation that features
in a horizontal disposition 2,000 of Baccarat’s most iconic crystal,
the Harcourt, which are illuminated with Led lights, creating a
24-hour light show. The Afternoon Tea Experience takes place
in the Grand Salon, from Wednesday through Sunday, from 1:00
pm to 4:00 pm. This space can be described with a theatrical or
cinematic feel, presenting a 35-foot ceiling and a plush, platinum-
and-champagne-hued palette creating an incredibly glamorous
backdrop for all-day lounging. In the Grand Salon, we can admire
selected classic and reinterpreted pieces from the brand’s archival
and contemporary collections displayed in towering vitrines.
