weekend in New York City — and we got all the exclusive details. Hosted at the opulent Baccarat Hotel & Residences, the first hotel from France’s eponymous crystal brand, the luxurious

weekend included five-star spa treatments, trapeze’ing, tea brunches, and dancing out on the town. Serena — who just gave birth to daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. on Sept. 1 — was joined by

sister Venus Williams and close friends Lala Anthony, and music artist Ciara, among others. The festivities kicked off in Serena’s suite followed by a brunch in the Petite Salon, with a

customized menu prepared by the chef at the Baccarat Hotel. Dinner came later in the private dining room of Legasea, New York’s newest Seafood Brassiere, where the ladies dined on everything from tuna tartare, roasted vegetable timbale, and cacio e pepe, to tacos, scallops, fried chicken

and buttermilk biscuits (according to a menu posted on Serena’s snapchat). The ladies also enjoyed specialty cocktails and late-night dancing at TAO Group’s Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge and PHD Rooftop Lounge.

The weekend concluded with pampering by the luxurious Spa de La Mer at the Baccarat Hotel and lounging poolside in the cabanas inspired by the Côte d’Azur.
