Night Hotel
132 West 45th Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Times Square
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
For anyone tired out by the unrelenting tackiness of the neon-lit Times Square, there’s an alternative, this one in basic black. The Night Hotel, a new addition on West 45th between Sixth and Seventh, is, adjusting for the neighborhood, the model of fashionable composure, from the monochrome checks of the lobby floor to the black-and-white Gothic chic of the perversely cozy bedrooms.
And this being Times Square, of course, it’s ever so slightly over the top. This isn’t monochrome-as-minimalism, in a downtown style, but more a black velvet fantasy, a romantic evocation of a darker, more glamorous Gotham. It’s a smallish hotel, less than a hundred rooms, and like most New York hotel rooms, they’re not overly large. They are, however, well-appointed, with plasma TVs, iPod stereo systems, and generous creature comforts, including 400-thread-count Frette sheets and customized Bespoke bath products, which probably matter more to the Night’s amorous clientele than, say, full-sized work desks — though the latter, one imagines, might find themselves drafted into improvised service too.
Red Moon, the hotel's restaurant, serves Japanese-Vietnamese fusion in an attractive low-lit dining room — though, this being Manhattan, there's no shortage of dining options outside the hotel's walls. Just don’t be surprised if you find all that colored light a little hard to take, after a night or two at the Night.

What I liked:
The service was great and the housekeeping staff should win an award - the rooms were immaculate. Location is fantastic - smack dab in the center of Manhattan, it's a quick walk to most of the subway lines. They're not kidding with the name - the place is DARK. My rooms were quite spacious for a NYC hotel, I was there for 5 nights and didn't feel cramped at all. Linens were lovely, robes were delicious, and the manager sent up a bottle of bubbly on my arrival for no apparent reason.
What the hotel could do better:
The bar & restaurant is sublet to another company, so the hotel has no control over the volume of music played in them. This is why I had two rooms over five nights - my first room was on the second floor and the music in the bar was so loud it disturbed my sleep. The staff was very helpful and apologetic and switched me to another one as soon as possible.

What I liked:
I booked a king bedded room and was disappointed upon check in to find a tiny, cramped, dark room. When I asked to change rooms, nothing else was available, after a call to tablet staff, another larger and more pleasant king room was found. I ended up enjoying my stay and after the first few glitches, the staff couldn't have been nicer or more friendly.
What the hotel could do better:
