Inside Look: Six spa-like bathrooms that can make any New Yorker relax

I remember my first experience in a cramped New York City bathroom. During college, I was crashing at a friend’s place in Manhattan and couldn’t believe she shared the closet-like space with her three-member family. My childhood bathroom was bigger and just for me, but, hey, it was in the suburbs, not the Village.

Eventually, after years of sharing bathrooms, a good friend with an even smaller West Village bathroom, and a bathroom with arunning toilet and tiles coming off the floor, I’ve come to except the less-than-perfect NYC water closet.

But for the right price perfection can be found in these six dream bathrooms from around the city.

Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York

What does a $60 million duplex penthouse get you? A guaranteed dream bathroom that is the size of most studio apartments.

Residents at this 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue building have complete access to the amenities of the flagship Baccarat Hotel. Part of this five-bedroom, five bathroom home’s amenities include a marble bathroom of almost 400 square feet.

The master bathroom features white marble slab floors and walls, radiant heated floors, and a freestanding soaking tub. Second bathrooms have Siberian polished marble, and the powder room features frosted, mirrored glass panel walls, and marble floors. Custom polished chrome fixtures are featured throughout the bathrooms.

Finally, many residences offer river and city views from the cast-iron bathtub.
