The Night Hotel

Midtown Manhattan

Manhattan Island possesses some of the world’s most famous neighborhoods. New Yorkers have divided the island into three distinct zones: downtown, midtown and uptown.

Located between 14^th and 59^th Streets, midtown stretches from Union Square to Central Park South. It’s the quarter for numerous businesses, chic boutiques and department stores including the renowned Macy’s. During the day, the pedestrian and automobile traffic is incessant with a constant flow of people, and horn honking taxi cabs. It’s also the quarter of Grand Central Station, New York’s immense central railway station and some of the tallest skyscrapers and the most famous like the art deco masterpiece known as the Chrysler building, Rockefeller Center and its RCA building and of course, the most majestic and the most emblematic, the Empire State building, built in 1931 by General Motors.

A bit further southeast, we find the United Nations, its buildings spread out along the East River. Further west, there’s Times Square, one of New York’s liveliest neighborhoods which attracts visitors both day and night. Its immense electric advertising panels, its trendy restaurants, Broadway theatres and concert halls give Times Square a constantly exciting atmosphere. The central location of midtown Manhattan has convinced a number of hotels to establish themselves in this part of the Big Apple.

A Gothic hotel

Adjacent to the International Center of Photography, Broadway and Times Square, the Night Hotel is the ideal place to relax in midtown Manhattan. This totally black and white, slightly surrealistic hotel offers guests a pure but far from minimalist décor.

The tone is set as soon as guests enter the building. The floor tiles are black and white and the walls filled with mirrors. In the lobby, the neo-Gothic dark wood furniture is combined with black leather design armchairs and a bench covered with animal skin, creating a dark but glamorous Adams Family type atmosphere. The reasonably sized rooms are distinguished by their Gothic chic. Here again, black and white is the order of the day: black arabesques on a white background for the carpet, the curtains and the pillow cases and black wood for the bed, black leather for the chest. Night Hotel is a true black and white masterpiece of comfort.

Ideally situated a few steps from luxurious Fifth Avenue, the theatre district and Times Square, guests can also dine at the hotel. Its restaurant, the Nightlife attracts the trendiest New Yorkers who come for a drink or an all beef hot dog before heading for the theatre. Ultra modern, with a touch of fantasy, the Night Hotel is purely and simply fascinating.

Rockefeller Center is a commercial complex built by the Rockefeller family in the 1930s. It consists of 19 art deco style buildings a few of which are skyscrapers. Every year, on the first Tuesday in December, a huge crowd gathers during the famous Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. It’s one of America’s most famous and biggest Christmas trees.
