Planned communities in the suburbs are great because residents don’t have to cut the grass or shovel snow. Condominium complexes are like that, too. The downside with these arrangements is they’re not in NYC.
Half the fun when visiting a big city is the hotel, especially if it’s a luxury hotel. In NYC, luxury doesn’t just mean a continental breakfast and a newspaper. At the Baccarat Hotel, there is a long list of amenities.
Sure most hotels have a restaurant, a pool and bar. The Baccarat’s restaurant, the Chevalier, has a renowned chef and has received raving reviews. The pool, well, that is a work of art. Guests don’t have to swim in the pool to enjoy it; they can just admire it. The bar has painted-tile floors and art on the walls, real art. And don’t forget the chandeliers. The public spaces at the Baccarat will remind visitors of the galleries across the street in the Modern Museum of Art.
On top of the expected services such as a spa and personal trainer, the hotel has The Great Salon. As if the Chevalier wasn’t enough. The Great Salon is on the second floor of the hotel and services breakfast, high tea and late afternoon cocktails in its library. It’s a big step up from drinking a canned beer beside a green pool in Connecticut.
Long Stays
With all these great amenities, it seems a shame to only enjoy them for a short visit. At the Baccarat Hotel & Residences, there are 61 condo units. Residents get to enjoy all the amenities of the hotel and restaurant because theirs are condos with hotel services.
Residents can get to know their personal trainer and their personal shopper. Room service and floral delivery and more are accessible through touch-screens in the condo units and mobile devices. Living in a Baccarat condo really is like living in a luxury hotel.
Considering how much people pay for condos in NYC, it would be nice to get a few extras thrown in.
Warm Toes
Ranging in size from a one-bedroom to a full-floor home, condos at Baccarat are wired for full automation including temperature control and lighting. The kitchens are state-of-the-art, and the master bathroom has radiant-heated floors. Forget about freezing hardwood floors in the winter.
Wouldn’t it be great to get room service from a fine dining restaurant delivered to a condo? Condos with hotel services are not that common in NYC, but they are at the Baccarat Hotel & Residences.
The Baccarat Hotel & Residences in Midtown Manhattan features condos with hotel services and easy access to shopping, mass transit and culture. To find out more about the hotel and its condos, visit the company website.
