The Baccarat Hotel is one of the most beautiful places to stay in New York City.

New York design masters Tony Ingrao and Stephen Sills oversaw the styling of the Baccarat's 60 magnificent residences.

It's worth noting that prices for The Baccarat Hotel's most expensive accommodations are not as readily available on their website. However, outlets such as Elite Traveler estimate that a room in the Baccarat Suite will fetch a price tag of around $18,000 per night. This luxurious and beautifully decorated suite features floor-to-ceiling windows with a city view, a king bed and separate living room, a shower and deep soaking tub, and more.

The hotel also features a private art collection assembled by Parisian art connoisseur Frédéric Chambre. Visit the hotel's fitness center and pool or book a relaxing treatment at the Spa De La Mer.
