The Baccarat Residences at 20 West 53rd Street stand as a pinnacle of luxury living in Midtown Manhattan, marrying exceptional architectural design with unparalleled service. Rising 50 stories above the city, this mixed-use tower houses 61 private residences atop 114 luxurious hotel rooms. Residents enter a private entrance and lobby but can enjoy the hotel’s five-star amenities, including the Spa de La Mer, a fitness center, an indoor pool, and world-class dining.
The tower’s location, directly across from the Museum of Modern Art and moments from Fifth Avenue, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center, provides easy access to premier shopping, dining, and cultural experiences in one of New York’s most prestigious neighborhoods. Many north-facing homes have glimpses of Central Park.
Architecturally, the Baccarat’s sleek and minimalist exterior by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill serves as a refined “jewel case” for the tower’s opulent interiors. Designed by Tony Ingrao, the interiors showcase a striking aesthetic, featuring dark wood paneling, rich marble accents, and an impressive Baccarat crystal wall behind the concierge desk that embodies the building’s commitment to elegance. The double-height lobby is framed by fluted marble columns, creating a sense of grandeur upon entry, while the tower itself is setback from its base.
Within the Baccarat Residences, amenities cater to every aspect of luxury living. A full-time doorman, concierge, and valet service ensure convenience, while private lounges, a curated courtyard, and outdoor entertainment spaces provide residents with exclusive retreats. The building also includes on-site parking and a bike room.
The design extends to the smallest details: smoked oak paneling lines the elevators, while the north and south façades incorporate sculpted grooves between floors for a sense of dimensionality. The building’s base is adorned with vertical mullions and canopies, giving the lower levels an airy, sophisticated feel that complements the warm tones of the Baccarat crystals. The side façades feature angled window surrounds, enhancing the tower’s visual texture and creating dynamic light and shadow play.
The Baccarat’s site has a rich history, previously occupied by the Donnell Library, a building known for its 1950 Spartan design by Aymar Embury II and Edgar I. Williams. The Donnell was sold in 2007, with plans for a luxury hotel connected to the nearby 21 Club; however, these plans fell through, eventually leading to the Baccarat’s development. Today, the Baccarat Residences stand amid other historic buildings and landmarks, such as St. Thomas Episcopal Church, the CBS Building, and the Jean Nouvel-designed 53 West 53red Street.

The Park 900, completed in 1973 and designed by Philip Birnbaum, stands as a 28-story limestone tower with 124 apartments at the prestigious corner of 79th Street and Park Avenue. This building was one of two structures that significantly pierced Park Avenue's traditional cornice line in the 1970s, replacing a grand 1917 mansion designed by John Mead Howells and Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes. Developed by Jack Resnick & Sons, the building features a distinctive landscaped plaza set below street level and is notable as one of the few condominiums on Park Avenue among the avenue's predominantly co-operative buildings.
Architecturally, the building sparked considerable controversy when constructed, with critics like Paul Goldberger calling it a serious violation of Park Avenue's spirit. However, time has softened these criticisms, and the building has become more accepted as part of the Upper East Side landscape. The plaza features a charming bronze cat sculpture by Botero, which replaced earlier works by Henry Moore and Francisco Zuniga. The building's circular driveway remains one of the most attractive landscaped driveways on Park Avenue, providing an elegant porte-cochère entrance.
Apartments typically feature expansive Park Avenue views, with many units offering multiple exposures and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood spaces with natural light.
