Vikram Chatwal opens Stay Hotel with rooms from $249

The Quality Hotel Times Square has officially reopened as a far more posh Stay Hotel, now under the ownership of Vikram Chatwal Hotels.

Room rates for tonight start at $249.

The hotel’s 210 rooms feature custom artwork, feather beds with 300-plus thread count sheets, terry bathrobes, L’Occitane bath products, in-room wi-fi, and Bose Wave Audio Systems with an iPod cradle.

Still under construction on the ground floor is the Aspen Social Club, an off-shoot of the Aspen Restaurant & Bar, which will feature an American-style, small-plate tastings menu, an antler-crowned fire pit and “a serious sound system.”

The Stay Hotel is located at 157 W. 47th St., map, between 6th and 7th avenues.

Vikram Chatwal Hotels also plans to open The Chatwal in “late 2008” and the Dream Downtown in the Meatpacking District in summer 2009.
