When they say "dream", it's possible they mean those having trip- flashbacks from the 80s - and by "trip", we don't mean backpacking around Europe. The strong artistic vibe in Vikram Chatwal's hotel shows that he's been pushing the boundaries of his imagination - and hiring nutty, crackpot artist turned designer types. Vikram's dream is worth making a destination simply because it's very fun to visit someone else's technicolour, surreal imagination. Mirrored ceilings, aquariums, you might not make your own home this much of a visual entertainment, and so for those who don't want more of the same when they travel, this hits the spot... Manhattan-based Italian restaurant, Serafina, three cool bars including the rooftop Ava, and the Chopra Center & Spa (offering spa services, daily yoga and meditation classes, and mind-body sessions) make it so you never have to leave.
