Welcome to Penthouse 43 at The Baccarat Residences, an architectural triumph in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Designed by the internationally acclaimed Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) with interiors by Tony Ingrao, this full-floor residence captures the essence of modern elegance and timeless sophistication.

Encompassing 4,545 square feet, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home features 11-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame sweeping, 360-degree views of New York City’s most celebrated landmarks – from Central Park and the George Washington Bridge to One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and both the Hudson and East Rivers.

Perfectly positioned across from the Museum of Modern Art, this residence crowns one of Manhattan’s most prestigious hotels – the Baccarat Hotel, consistently ranked among the finest in the world by U.S. News & World Report and Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List.

Inside, a custom SieMatic kitchen in walnut and nickel is outfitted with Miele and Sub-Zero appliances and a private service entrance for seamless living. The home’s six-inch white oak floors, smart home technology, and refined finishes reflect an unmatched attention to detail. The primary suite features radiant heated Lido white marble floors, Fantini fixtures, and half-fritted glass for a luminous, spa-like retreat. Each additional bedroom includes an en suite marble bath with mesmerizing city views.

Residents enjoy full access to the Baccarat Hotel’s five-star amenities, including the Spa de La Mer, state-of-the-art fitness center with Technogym and Woodway equipment, a heated indoor pool, and the Grand Salon, where mornings begin with pastries and evenings end with champagne beneath a dazzling 64-arm Baccarat chandelier. The Baccarat Bar offers an unparalleled setting for signature cocktails, while the white-glove concierge team provides world-class service and discretion.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to own one of New York’s most distinguished penthouses – a rare jewel box at the top of a global icon.
