Want to live like a French aristocrat for a few days? The name Baccarat conjures fantasies of over-the-top French glamour and the brand’s first hotel doesn’t disappoint. Situated near MoMA, the property oozes luxury with crystal chandeliers, an enviable art collection, and coyote fur chairs. The Baccarat Suite is the hotel’s most to-die-for digs. The 1,740-square-foot suite flows like a classic Parisian apartment, from the foyer covered in toile wallpaper to the living room, dining room, media room, master bedroom, and gleaming marble bathroom. A red lacquer bar comes stocked with Ladurée macarons, premium spirits, and Baccarat crystal goblets, naturally. Smoked mirrors cleverly conceal TVs, and you can connect your device to state-of-the-art speakers via Bluetooth and control everything from the temperature to room service orders through a one-touch device. Oh, and we won't blame you for pocketing the skincare products from La Mer.

This opulent grande dame on Central Park is renowned for its white-glove service and Old New York style. While the Tata Suite’s décor may not be as over-the-top as the hotel's public spaces (replete with marble floors, gilded moldings, and multi-tiered chandeliers), it still features subtly luxurious touches like damask wallpaper, Murano chandeliers, a custom silver-leaf table for eight, polished marble bathrooms with plush monogrammed robes, and artwork by Indian artists—a nod to Taj’s heritage. Fit for a maharaja, the suite has been booked by heads of state, industry tycoons, and fashion designers like Marc Jacobs. You might even share an elevator with the Pierre’s residents, who—in the past, anyway—included Elizabeth Taylor, Mohammed Al-Fayed, and Yves Saint Laurent. At 1,980 square feet, the Tata Suite is one of the smallest rooms on this list, but not to worry—for an additional fee, you can rent out the entire 39th floor to fashion a private six-bedroom apartment.

Some hotels welcome you with a bottle of champagne. The Lotte New York Palace welcomes you with a fully stocked wine cellar. And the viticulture motif doesn’t end there—it extends to the rosé and Pinot Noir color scheme in the rooms, and the shimmering crystal chandelier that evokes bubbles that rush to the top of a champagne flute. The library doubles as a tasting room, though if we were you, we’d take the private in-suite elevator to the third floor to enjoy our Dom Pérignon on the rooftop terrace—the crown on top of this 4,320-square-foot triplex suite. Needless to say, a trained sommelier is on call.

The Park Hyatt New York’s Presidential Suite is the very definition of refinement.

The 2,239-square-foot suite boasts custom furniture, wall-to-wall stone flooring, a number of original artworks (including several pieces by Sol Lewitt), and a state-of-the-art media system and stealth TV in the bathroom mirror. Relax in the soaking tub with partial views of Central Park or shake up some cocktails at the living room's full-size wet bar (housed in a beautiful lacquered cabinet). But don't get too carried away. It's worth heading downstairs to savor an indulgent meal at Bevy, the hotel’s new restaurant with a custom light installation by Random International, the artists behind the Rain Room.

Gilded Age tycoon John Jacob Astor IV spared no expense when building the St. Regis in 1904, and the famously luxurious hotel carries on his legacy today. A couple of martinis at the legendary King Cole Bar and you might feel the urge to upgrade—if your credit card can handle it, that is. The price of a midsize SUV will buy you a night in the hotel's 3,430-square-foot Presidential Suite, which has hosted dignitaries and celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor. Waterford crystal chandeliers illuminate the three bedrooms, dining room, and even the master bathroom with its jacuzzi. Classic details like crown moldings give the suite a timeless elegance, while pops of fuchsia and other bright colors imbue it with some modern edge. Want to arrange an afternoon of shopping at Tiffany’s or a romantic dinner at Daniel? The hotel’s Bentley will escort you there.

Sure, the nightly rate for the Four Seasons' Ty Warner Suite is what you’d spend on a year at an Ivy League university, but hey, the horsehair mattress alone is worth around $90,000, so everything is relative. Did we mention it’s covered by a bedspread woven with 22-karat gold thread? And that’s not even the suite’s coolest feature. Check in and you’ll be flying high 700 feet above Manhattan, with sprawling panoramic views, cathedral ceilings, and four glass balconies offering unparalleled vistas. Ty Warner—the Beanie Babies tycoon—called in renowned architects I.M. Pei and Peter Marino to renovate the Midtown hotel, and they went all out. Lacquered walls with mother-of-pearl inlays, works of art by sculptor Claude Lalanne worth $1.5 million, and wall-to-wall Chinese onyx in the bathroom are just a few of the highlights. For the hefty price tag, you also get unlimited massages, room service, and chauffeured rides in the hotel’s Rolls Royce. Not bad.
