The tower’s sixty private residences are accessible through a sep-
arate entrance and have access to all the hotel’s amenities. The
hotel’s interiors were conceived to combine the classic elegance
of a Parisian hotel particulier with the contemporary aesthetic of
its midtown New York City location. Gilles & Boissier, alongside
Starwood Capital’s own design team, designed many of the ho-
tel’s furnishings including commissioning several unique works
from the Baccarat factories. Classic pieces were also curated from
the brands’ archival and contemporary collections for the public
spaces and rooms. Room categories start with the generous Clas-
sic King and ascend to the Baccarat Presidential Suite.
The hotel’s bar, inspired by the stables of Versailles, serves hand-
crafted cocktails, aperitifs, fine wines and a light bites menu.
Guests can also enjoy gathering on the adjacent seasonal terrace
overlooking MoMA. Located at street level, the signature con-
temporary French private dining room Chevalier takes its name
from Baccarat’s long time and most beloved creative director,
Georges Chevalier, who was responsible for ushering the crystal
company into the modern age. Designed by legendary New York
interior designer Stephen Sills, Chevalier is designed to be both
inspiring and inviting. The colour palette draws from natural-
ly occurring minerals like amber and mica; the materials used
throughout Chevalier are light and luminous with a mix of matte
and reflective services. Wooden floors add to the casual yet chic
feel.
Baccarat has partnered with the ultra-prestigious skin care brand
La Mer to create the intimate Spa de La Mer, its first spa in the
Unites States. Designed to recall a luxurious European seaside
retreat, the four treatment rooms beckon guests and locals who
crave revitalising treatments and soothing respites.
