It only takes a few seconds when stepping inside this incredible
hotel for one to immediately feel the luxury state of living, the
perfect combination of the noble heritage and the perfect craft of the
legendary French crystal company with a modern flair and elements.
At the ground-floor entrance, we were welcomed warmly by a four-
foot-tall dual-sided fireplace paying homage to Baccarat’s furnaces,
which are stoked 24 hours a day to produce the world’s most
coveted crystal. Behind the entrance, a wall is formed with nearly
2,000 Harcourt glasses, the brand’s most iconic crystal piece. Laid
horizontally and illuminated with LED lights, the installation subtly
flickers and flashes throughout the day.
After being hosted by the nicest Concierge, we were invited to meet
one of the 114 sanctuary-like guest rooms and suites.
When arriving at our room, it was crystal clear that we had arrived
at Baccarat’s crown jewel. This room was designed like a pied-à-
Terre and we felt at home with the delicious delights from French
gourmet house Ladurée and a custom desk, sconces and table lamps
by Baccarat. This suite conjures the alchemy of modern day in Paris
through a Baccarat lens. Luxurious artistry gives way to beauty beyond
measure. All the amenities were charming and, we must say, we slept
like babies that magic night. This was the Baccarat experience as a
luxe personal escape.
The Afternoon tea experience reaches new heights with a Tea
Sommelier offering a special pairing of tea by Mariage Freres and
culinary delights invented to complement the experience. Introduced
first with King Louis XV Tea and Prince of Wales Tea, the journey
through the senses is now exploring Russia with the Tsar Nicholas
tea, dubbed Best Tea by Bloomberg.
