Vikram Chatwal, a well-known hotelier, who was also referred to as “larger than life” by the Wall Street Journal, has a cool home at Manhattan, New York. The hotelier bought the place for $6 million in 2010 and poured another $2 million into furnishing it, drawing upon the talents of Hilary Swank's decorator Mark Zeff to imbue a modern, white Gwathmey Siegel-designed box with a "turn-of-the-century feel." At one floor, Chatwal, has a "wall of self-realization," where he keeps his framed press clippings "as well as photographs with him and his father with heads of state like Bill Clinton." There's also a mirrored wall with built-in TVs inspired by the sleekness of Chatwal's "150-foot yacht, Fathom."
