Night falls on Manhattan with swanky new hotel.

Developer Vikram Chatwal has unveiled his new Night Hotel, located at 132 W. 45th St.

Designed and conceptualized by Chatwal and Mark Zeff, of Zeffdesign, the Night was visualized as "Gothic Gotham"--a synthesis of old-world style and 21st century enhancements.

The 72-room hotel offers a sense of seclusion and privacy in both its design and its accommodations. The hotel's facade is lined with custom-designed mirrored panels that reflect the city lights. During the day, a clever lighting feature projects a large "N" onto the sidewalk below. After sunset, the refractions become an explosion of numerous small version of the letter, like a scattering of stars across a night sky.

Night's interiors featured a starkly sophisticated black and white aesthetic. Its lobby floor uses custom-created black tiles that reveal dimensionality, while the lounge is located center-stage where patrons can talk over elegant cocktails.

The hotel's guest rooms, though intimate in scale, play up the strategic use of dark colors and oversized furniture to reveal a comfortable and useable space. The focal point of the room is an enormous chariot bed faceted with a headboard that resembles a sweeping black cape. The Italian bedding, designed by Casa Bianco, includes a black and white striped duvet, plush white pillows and two signature decorative black pillows adorned with a Gothic letter "N."

The designer's close attention to architecture and interior space can also be seen in custom furnishings that complement their surroundings, such as a fanciful table containing a mini bar, a European traveling chest and a multi-purpose work space ideal for a computer or make-up vanity.

Chatwal and Zeff also commissioned Steelcase to design a one-of-a-kind piece that effortlessly convets from an office chair to a chaise and featured black Coach leather.

In the bathroom, a cracked black mirror served as a backdrop to a wall-to-wall glass whores, where guests can indulge in Molton Brown bath and other body products.

At the same time, Night features such modern amenities as WiFi, flat screen TVs, satellite radio, DVD players and custom-designed black and white iPods that may be purchased at the front desk.

Each of the Night's 72 rooms can be reached via elevator or by ascending a marble staircase that winds throughout the building's eight floors. The accommodations include seven standard rooms, 37 king rooms, 18 queen rooms and eight double-doubles. Rates ranged from $275 a night for a regular room to $2,500 for a penthouse suite.
