Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York to Open in 2014

Starwood Capital Group, in partnership with Tribeca Associates, has opened sales of the Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York, located just off Fifth Avenue on 53rd Street directly across from the Museum of Modern Art.

Designed by the architects of Skidmore Owings & Merrill, the striking 50-story glass tower will feature 61 private residences designed by Tony Ingrao that range in size from one to four-bedrooms, including four full-floor units and one five-bedroom penthouse duplex with outdoor terrace.

The tower will also feature a luxury hotel, with 114 rooms including 26 suites, that will be the global flagship for Baccarat Hotels.

The residences will have a private entrance and feature sophisticated finishes that combine natural elements with contemporary concepts including: custom bronze-work crackled with crystal, modern furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the natural light outside and reflect a shimmering brilliance throughout each space.

A Baccarat chandelier will also be incorporated as a signature feature in the foyer of each residence.

The master bathroom is generously outfitted with a free-standing soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower and rich white marble, including the floor, walls and vanity. True to the brand's commitment to perfection, only the finest brands and technology are incorporated throughout, Miele and Sub-Zero in the kitchens, LG washers and dryers, as well as Kallista wash basins. Each residence is also equipped with fully automated Crestron controls to adjust lighting, audio/visual, heating/cooling, and window shades.

Residential owners will have complete access to all luxury hotel amenities and services including personal concierge and housekeeping services, 24-hour in-residence dining and access to the spa, indoor pool and fitness facility.

The luxury hotel will also feature a standalone "crystal bar" surrounded by an outdoor Tuileries-style terrace, and a bar and restaurant.

With prices ranging from $3.5 million to $60 million, Baccarat Residences offer layouts from approximately 1,000 square feet to 7,400 square feet, with the option for buyers to combine units.

Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York will open in 2014, coinciding with the crystal company's 250 year anniversary.
