Baccarat Hotel New York

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose Baccarat for a crystal-forward Midtown stay where the bar terrace faces MoMA and the hotel’s own salons make lingering part of the city visit.

About the hotel

Baccarat Hotel New York occupies part of a 50-story mixed-use tower in Midtown, opposite the Museum of Modern Art. Its 114 guest rooms and suites pair contemporary interiors with French references and Baccarat crystal details. Public life centers on the Grand Salon, serving meals, afternoon tea and cocktails, and a Versailles-inspired bar with a terrace overlooking MoMA. That terrace opens seasonally, giving the hotel’s polished, indoor-focused setting a distinct outdoor perch.

Choose it if

You want MoMA across the street and a Midtown base between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
You’ll make use of the hotel’s own dining rooms, afternoon tea, cocktails and seasonal terrace.
You value Baccarat crystal as part of the interior design, not just a name on the door.

Skip it if

You want a quieter, residential setting rather than a central Midtown address opposite a major museum.
You need a private balcony or terrace attached to your room; the hotel says its rooms do not have them.

Guest discussion

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

Guests describe service as falling below expectations, with one saying it lagged even behind a lower-end chain hotel. Other reports are mixed on the spa—a facial was enjoyed, but the rest was described as just the hotel pool—and sharply critical of afternoon tea, where a $150-per-person price was paired with pastries described as stale.

“The service is really where I feel like this property just missed the mark and was below expectations even for a lower-end chain hotel.”

“The facial itself was nice, but the rest of the “spa” is literally just the hotel pool.”

r/NYCbitcheswithtaste ↗ · Jan 19, 2026

“The food is genuinely the worst part. For $150/person I expected way better than stale pastries that tasted like they'd been sitting out for days.”
