Ink48 Embraces Local Culture with Boutique Flair

Its prime location along the Hudson makes it a sure selection for stunning views and accessibility.  Not to mention being in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen, which offers guests a more local feel and is a short cab, walk, or bike ride (rentals are available) to the Theater district, Manhattan cruise port, or Restaurant Row along 46th Street.  The hotel I’m speaking of is Ink48, a Kimpton property at its finest! 

 
Ink48 offers distinct design and style that define what it means to be a boutique hotel, and separate itself from the large hotel chains.  From vibrant wall prints to in floor lighting, Ink48 is prepared to offer guests a unique experience.  From the moment you walk through the doors, guests - as well as furry companions - are not bombarded by people shuffling through a large lobby waiting to meet up with family/friends.

Instead, guests are invited to wait in the lounge area where complimentary tea and citrus infused refreshments are served.  And if the lounge area has met capacity, guests are invited to find comfort in the lounge sections near the bar.  These sections are available for private meetings or to simply partake in conversation with family/friends, while savoring a chilled cocktail.

Ink48 welcomes guests ranging from tourists anticipating local museum tours to corporate leaders in town seeking their next business deal.  Either way, this Kimpton hotel is prepared to accommodate each guest’s needs from on-site fine dining, a full-service spa, business services, a state-of-the-art gym, to a daily welcome wine hour.  Each one of these services is provided in efforts to make each guests stay memorable, convenient, and suitable to individual travel requests.

Ink48 also offers the following room categories that differ in room size measurements and what is/is not available based on the floor level and availability: Guest Rooms: King Deluxe Room (Floors 7-15 and some Hudson views), King Premiere Room (400 sq. ft.; no city view), Double Double Deluxe Room, CityView Premiere King Room (views of the Manhattan skyline), and the CityView Studio King Room; Suites: Junior Suites, Riverview Terrace Room, and the Heaven Over Hell's Kitchen Suite.  Note: Suites are limited.  Advance bookings are advised, particularly during the spring/summer seasons. 

Ink48 is home to the premiere rooftop lounge, The Press Lounge.  This NYC hot spot offers the best evening view of the city, including sparkling reflections of the Hudson and vibrant lighting along 9th Avenue.  The ambience and vibe is unbelievable!  Note: Inquire whether or not a private event is occurring during your visiting dates.  If so, The Press Lounge will be closed to guests and the public.  I would simply hate for you to visit this wonderful property and not be able to experience its staple venue.

Ink48 is designed and prepared to offer you a wonderful experience and accommodations.  Your stay here will not only be memorable, but will set the standard for what it means to experience a boutique hotel at its best!
