Vikram Chatwal, the brains behind Time Hotel, turned the former Majestic Hotel into this slumber-themed luxe property in 2004. You’ll feel like you’ve walked into a trippy dream the moment you hit the lobby, where a two-story aquarium and gold Catherine the Great statue are part of the eclectic design mix. The restaurant here is an outpost of the Serafina chain of northern Italian spots known all over town for their specialty pizzas. An Ayurvedic spa was designed by Deepak Chopra to allow guests to massage and meditate their way to peacefulness before turning in for the night in the minimalist rooms, outfitted with feather beds and 300 thread-count Egyptian sheets, and awash in blue lights that create a twilight feel. If a nightcap is more your style, take the elevator up to the Ava Lounge, which offers a seasonal rooftop garden that sits high above the city with giddy views of Times Square.
