Across the street from Edward Durell Stone’s landmark MoMA building in Midtown Manhattan stands one of New York’s most glamorous destinations for a French 75 and lavish accommodations suited to both a short trip and year-round living. Designed by Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill LLP (SOM), the Baccarat Hotel and Residences embodies the luxury crystal brand founded by King Louis XV.
Residence 42A features striking interiors by local designer and Architectural Digest 100 member Tony Ingrao that complement the tower’s blend of classic French style and modern sensibility. The four-bedroom apartment’s appeal begins at the front door, which is fitted with a custom crystal inlay handle.

Strié plaster and a Baccarat chandelier enhance the foyer, which leads into the great room with an 11-foot ceiling. Natural light pours in through large, picturesque windows there, illuminating living and dining areas surrounded by bold, neon-colored paintings and skyline vistas, including a direct view of the Empire State Building. Dark-stained white oak flooring continues into the gourmet kitchen, where brushed nickel and clear glass cabinets sit alongside iceberg polished granite slab counters and a custom glass-and-mirror backsplash.

The main hallway leads to the en-suite bedrooms and a private dressing area off the primary suite, which has floor-to-ceiling windows and a white honed-marble bathroom featuring a heated floor and Fantini fixtures. Elsewhere, frosted mirrored glass wall panels are another design highlight in the abode’s powder room.

Furnished by Nicole Fuller Interiors, the apartment covers the entire floor and is being offered with all of its curtains, carpets, light fixtures, and decor. Residents of the doorman building also have access to the hotel’s world-class amenities such as the Spa de La Mer, Le Chevalier restaurant led by Michelin-star chef Shea Gallante, the Petite Salon Lounge, the Baccarat Bar, swimming pool, private cabanas, and the fitness center. The building also offers 24-hour multilingual concierge service and valet parking.
The Baccarat Hotel and Residences was completed in 2015, comprising three distinct components: a bi-level public library, a nine-story hotel, and condominiums that occupy floors 18 to 49. Residence 42A is now available for $15.95 million with Charlie Attias, Connor Ramage, and Brooke Winsness of Compass.
