Suicide Death at the Night Hotel
A 21-year-old woman from Minnesota committed suicide by jumping from a fire escape at the Night Hotel in Manhattan the other night. Typically, we like to stay away from such sad stories because we think that job is best done by newspaper reporters and the like, especially when it involves...

Night Hotel Does Something Nice for Its Guests

Models, Thugs and Cake Fight at Night Hotel Party
We are little miffed we weren't invited to the official opening of Vikram Chatwal's Night Hotel but we're sure the invite just got lost in the mail, right Vik? Vikram however did deliver some model friends at the party. According to Page Six, the party started with a "a sexy...

The Night Hotel Doesn't Offer Nightlights
Finally, the NY Times has gone into Vikram Chatwal's lair, the former Best Western-turned-Night Hotel in Manhattan. One traveler describes the hotel's...simplicity as "black, black, black..oh yes..and black" and the Grey Lady found it...black, as well. Not black in a dark, cool and mysterious way, but rather dark, uneventful, and...

Night Hotel Not a Sight for Sore Eyes

Gothic N Gets High Marks
The NY Sun goes inside Vikram Chatwal's Night Hotel, a "hautel" phenomenon (hautel=Haute couture + hotel) and comes out loving every bit of it.

Vikram Chatwal and the Goth Style 'N
Remember Vikram's trilogy? Vik's nocturnal revenge was scheduled to open back in December. However, the hotel still isn't open, and with Vikram scheduled to get married in India on February 18th, and then go on a "long honeymoon", our guess of a May 1, 2006 open isn't looking bulletproof....

Partner Reviews: Night Hotel
I walked into a Heretic/Hexen 1990's Video game!
Nice idea, horrible outcome. Somebody tried way too hard and missed the mark. The black and white was dizzying. It was if I had stepped into the 1990's Heretic/Hexen video game!!!! The food was semi okay. The wait staff was annoyingly "forced friendly". Cannot fool a diehard New Yorker! After walking through the streets of New York and then almost missing the entrance you walk into something just as "black and white" as the street. Next time I'll stick to the soothing decor and wonderful ammenities of the Mandarin on 60th or the SoHo House located semi-downtown who has the world's most comfortable beds and comforters. They should have hired Cher to do the "gothic" interior design they were aiming for and they would have had a better outcome. Much too "black and white" for my taste. There is always a gray middle ground and they need to find it.
Where am I?
Hot..Hot..Hot!! This is a brilliant find! (You may miss it though while walking down 45th) Stayed here during fashion week as it was recommended by my colleage. The design is fab! not a place for the kiddies! The rooms are cozy. I stayed in a Queen room. Beds are super comfortable and the bath products are great. The restaurant has somewhat of a scene and the food is delish, try the fire and ice! The staff is super friendly and literally go out of thier way to help out. I had a problem with the AC one night and they kept me in the restaurant with glasses of wine until the the issue was resolved about 30 minutes later. They offered a room change but I wanted to give them an opportunity to redeem themselves. They did! You are a few steps from Times Square (once you are in the hotel you would never know it!) Not much a view from the rooms though..it took me a bit to find the window, but never the less I enjoyed my time at Night and I will be back!

Stop by the Front Desk and say hi!! -
Be sure to get a room to the street side or the darkness from the narrow backyard AND the room can be overwhelming. The AC system very noisy. A deep base sound starts when ac in room below turns on. -
Beautiful hotel. Love the dark gothic feel! -
-
If vampires had money and partied this is where they'd stay. The retro-futuristic gothic styling with Victorian flourishes seems ripped from a Fassbinder movie set that was never made. -
Wonderful location, great staf, helpful and kind! -
Penthouse has an amazing terrace. Staying here for two weeks well worth it!! -

Nice boutique hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very dark. Feels like you're staying in the same building as Frank from "Blue Velvet." -
Enjoyed my stay here - the Decor is Amazing! -
Keyana works Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Makes amazing mojitos from scratch! -
Keyana is the best bartender! Very friendly and talkative.
-
Go all the way to the back and seclude yourself in the cozy backyard. Surrounded with mirrors & black is a great place to bring a date for a drink. A must! -
Jazz in back room -
Great place for an intimate after work cocktails!! -
Stay in the penthouse. great deck and outdoor space! room is a little busy, but the outdoor space is awesome!
