The Rates at Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York

"Thanks to Parisian designers Gilles & Boissier, everything sparkles at the Baccarat hotel, which celebrates the venerable French crystal brand in all the right ways: vases filled with red roses (red is the signature color of the brand), chandeliers everywhere, and a warm but polished staff that caters to the jet-setting clientele"

"For something less ostentatious and with a downtown address, check out the Greenwich Hotel in TriBeCa, which offers similar amenities, less expensive rates, and an Italian restaurant on-site"

"The price is steep, but in exchange, rooms have complimentary nonalcoholic beverages, free Wi-Fi, and a memorable walk-in shower with an enormous rainfall shower head"
