Baccarat Hotel takes the age-old style rivalry between New York and Paris and turns it on its head. Instead of declaring a winner, the hotel marries the cities' renowned aesthetics together, creating a grandeur that delights guests. When a guest steps off of the busy street into the entrance of the hotel, which is conveniently located across from the Museum of Modern Art and the famed 5th Avenue shopping district, they are whisked to a third-floor lobby that looks like an extension of the beautiful artwork hanging in the nearby MoMA. Walk into any of the 114 accommodations, and you'll find it decorated in a minimalist white color palette with sleek wooden four-poster beds, marble-topped nightstands and cashmere throws. The in-room showers add to the aesthetic with marble features and large interiors. The fitness and pool area rival a luxury sports club, complete with pool-side cabanas for leisure. Grab a drink at the crystal chandelier-clad bar, and you'll be transported to 1920s-era Paris. The hotel is also home to the Spa de La Mer, which, as its name suggests, utilizes the luxury French brand in all of its treatments. But what guests love most is the location. Though a stay here is expensive, members of the I Prefer rewards program can offset costs by cashing in points.
