While most of the rooms may be on the small side unless you throw down for a larger room or the 711 square foot Loft Suite, the amenities are topnotch curated minibars, super plush robes, round the clock room service some even have turntables or an acoustic guitar. The main guest areas with their long wooden tables and free Wi-Fi are made for communal hang outs.

The Baccarat Hotel

Designed to mimic a Parisian pied a terre in the heart of Manhattan, the Baccarat hotel is by far one of the most glamorous stays in the city.
