This morning, we brought you news of today's opening of Vikram Chatwal's Times Square property Stay.Hotel (the period is apparently part of the name).

Within hours, a sneaky Midtown tipster was kind enough to send along a couple snapshots and give us the lowdown on the scene:

In true Vikram fashion, they are still doing plenty of work on opening day. Looked mostly like a staff walk-through day, though guests appeared to be there.

The lobby is split into two areas -- bright and vibrant check in and some sort of timber ceiling bar area [Ed: we're guessing that's the Aspen Social Lounge], very trippy. Lobby/bar is actually respectably spacious for a Times Square hotel. And it is kind of nice to see some trippy hotel interior designs in these gloomy financial days for NYC.

Two more shots after the jump.
