  • Preferred airport: LaGuardia (LGA) listed as closest in supplier highlights.

Choose Essex House for a classic Central Park South location and park-facing views.

Rooms: 114 intimate rooms & suites vs 528 rooms

Baccarat Hotel and Residences New York – Rooms

Baccarat offers 114 rooms and suites with names emphasizing suites and signature rooms.

  • Room types include Classic Room, Grand Room (Harcourt), Atelier, and multiple suites (Prestige Suite, Harcourt Suite).
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi, in-room safes, and luxury-focused amenities documented in hotel FAQ.
  • Smaller inventory supports a quieter, boutique hotel experience.

Baccarat is for travelers who prefer fewer rooms and a more intimate hotel feel.

JW Marriott Essex House New York – Rooms

JW Marriott Essex House is a much larger property with 528 air-conditioned rooms and standard full-service hotel amenities.

  • Rooms include minibars, memory foam beds with down comforters and in-room LCD TVs (supplier listing).
  • Larger inventory suits groups and travelers who want consistent Marriott-style rooms and services.
  • Wired and wireless internet is available for a surcharge (supplier listing).

Essex House fits guests seeking a large, brand-backed hotel and more availability for big groups.

Dining & drinks: French-focused Grand Salon vs American steakhouse

Baccarat Hotel and Residences New York – Dining & drinks

Baccarat centers food and drink around French cuisine, Champagne rituals and a long cocktail bar.

  • Grand Salon serves French cuisine for breakfast, lunch, Afternoon Tea and dinner under Chef Gabriel Kreuther.
  • The Bar features a 60-foot counter, craft cocktails and an outdoor terrace overlooking MoMA.
  • Afternoon Tea and Champagne service are signature experiences; reservations are recommended.

Baccarat Hotel and Residences New York – Pools / signature amenity

Baccarat's La Piscine is a defining on-site amenity — a heated, 55-foot indoor pool reserved for guests.

  • La Piscine includes a whirlpool and reservable 90-minute cabanas for guests.
  • Open daily from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM and access is included with spa treatments.
  • Pool area rules and age supervision requirements are published by the hotel.

La Piscine is a strong reason to choose Baccarat for pool access in midtown Manhattan.

JW Marriott Essex House New York – Pools / signature amenity

JW Marriott Essex House supplier listing notes on-site spa services but does not publish detailed pool information.

  • Supplier highlights list spa services and on-site treatment rooms.
  • The supplier listing does not specify an on-site pool in the provided facts.
  • Guest amenities emphasize Central Park proximity, dining and meeting spaces.

Essex House is chosen more for location and scale; check directly with the hotel for pool details.

  • Spa treatments include pool access, and locker facilities have an 18+ policy.

If a luxury brand spa and high-end fitness equipment matter, Baccarat is the clearer choice.

  • Supplier highlights list spa services, spa treatment rooms and 24-hour fitness facilities.
