The blacked-out Night New York hotel, in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, was inspired by the 'pulse and passion of Gotham after dark'. A hotel from boutique entrepreneur Vikram Chatwal (who also created Dream Bangkok and Dream NYC) the hotel describes itself as having  the 'aura of a stylish private residence with just a touch of wickedness." It is that touch of wickedness we like. Black and white shots of entwined couples adorn the walls, beds are mega-sized (all be it with Frette 400-thread count sheets)and numerous fashion shots have taken place in the velvet black corridors - highlighted with just a touch of neon. Numerous liaisons too we suspect, some of them dangerous.

Splash out for the 1,600 square-foot  (488 square metres) penthouse suite, a stunning triplex with outdoor terraces and a bed with panoramic views .

Oh, and did we mention the bedside copies of the Karma Sutra?
