Dream Honeymoons: Bedside Bubbly 

 

At Baccarat Hotel New York, you lean from the opulent bed to reach for the phone. She’s waiting patiently next to you, a Mona Lisa-like expectant grin on her face. With suavity, you do well what you’ve been practicing during your splendorous honeymoon at this exquisite hotel. In fact you’ve done it every day — one day twice. “Hurry,” she says impatiently. And, with that you go ahead, pick up the receiver and push the button, which has become your lifeline to hedonistic afternoons. It isn’t marked with a number. Simply, clearly and deliciously, the button says “CHAMPAGNE.” That’s right, at this glamorous outpost in Manhattan’s Midtown, all you have to do to have a chilled bottle of bubbly sent up to your room is press a button on your in-room telephone. Baccarat Hotel New York clearly has its priorities in order. Even better, expect a tray to arrive set with gorgeous crystal flutes — Baccarat, of course. Would a hotel that reinterprets the elegance of the revered crystal brand do it any other way?

Gloriously and eccentrically adorned, Baccarat Hotel New York is a design lovers nirvana. With a trove of extraordinary art sourced from leading Paris auction houses by Parisian art connoisseur Frédéric Chambre over 18 months, the hotel reflects a fancifully dreamy vision of real life glimmer and glam. From the grand entrance at the lobby’s wall of lights to the trademark Baccarat chandeliers, the hotel celebrates beauty at every turn — including its marble, underground swimming pool and those in-room private bars, housed in signature Baccarat red enamel gift-type boxes. Get massaged at Spa de La Mer, linger in the Grand Salon and Bar (arguably the world’s most well stocked champagne bar), gaze at city vistas from The Bar terrace, and be nourished with Alsatian-inspired cuisine from Two Michelin-starred Chef Gabriel Kreuther. You may never have to leave the hotel. The streets of New York City can wait until next time.

Thanks to the retreat’s exclusive partnership with Veuve Clicquot, you’ll swoon over bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne, branded souvenir flutes, pillows and a pool float, plus Instagram-worthy décor including a neon sign and 6-foot velvet rope around the lounge. The cabana’s big enough for eight guests — but wouldn’t you rather be a deux?
