the bArbAccArAt hotel, new York

The Bar is a multi-sensory delight, especially a visual one. The interiors of the establishment are inspired by the great American long bars of a bygone era, glamorous ballrooms of French hôtels particuliers and the royal stables at Versailles. All these inspirations reflected through the distinctive barrel vaulting and natural-wood walls found in the space. The crimson velvet and merlot-coloured walls, leather seats on checkerboard floors, glittering red Baccarat chandeliers and fine art stacked salon-style create an aura of merriment ideal for sipping and toasting to the finer things in life. The 60-foot bar houses Baccarat’s extensive collection of celebrated wine and craft cocktails. All drinks are poured into stunning pieces of Baccarat crystal. Guests can further a full range of service including coffee, tea and Alsatian-inspired cuisine from Culinary Director and two Michelin-starred Chef Gabriel Kreuther. baccarathotels.com
