In collaboration with INSIDE HOTELS, twice a month we will showcase destinations worthy of your travel dollar.
HEART OF THE CITY I love stepping outside and immediately feeling the energy—restaurants, museums, landmarks, and neighborhoods all just minutes away. Instead of wasting time commuting, I can walk or hop on public transit and be exactly where I want to be. Being surrounded by the city’s rhythm makes the experience feel more authentic, like I’m not just visiting but actually living the city. | |

Baccarat Hotel
New York City, New York Located in Midtown Manhattan, few stays capture the elegance and allure of the city like the Baccarat Hotel. Stepping into the entrance, guests are welcomed by a dual-sided fireplace and a wall formed of nearly 2,000 Harcourt glasses, Baccarat's most iconic crystal pieces, illuminated with LED lights. On the second-floor lobby, a private guest sitting area enclosed with glass walls, The Petit Salon, features emerald green velvet settees, art installations with re-contextualized crystal elements, silver-leafed boiserie, and two of the hotel's seventeen magnificent chandeliers. Rooms are sleek, pairing chrome finishes with more traditional design elements, taking cues from Parian styles. Try the incredible Afternoon Tea experience, one of the highest-regarded in the city, or sip something stronger at The Bar.
