The Spotlight on INK 48 HOTEL

Stylish Manhattan Vibes Just Steps From the Music

Modern, bold, and unmistakably New York – INK 48 HOTEL brings boutique luxury to Hell’s Kitchen with a creative flair. Just over a mile from Central Park South and less than a mile from Times Square, this eco-friendly hotel combines skyline views with a vibrant, artsy atmosphere. With floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek design, and thoughtful amenities like flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, it’s a perfect launchpad for a night of music in the city that never sleeps.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate how close INK 48 is to major venues like Madison Square Garden and the theaters of Broadway. After the encore, you're back in your room in minutes—no long subway rides or expensive Ubers. The hotel’s location on 11th Avenue means it's surprisingly quiet for Midtown, letting you recharge after a loud night. Plus, with a 12:00 PM checkout and a 24-hour fitness center, there’s no rush to leave in the morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a stylish crash pad with views and vibes
- Solo travelers ticking off that bucket-list show
- Couples wanting a romantic weekend near the action
- Fans needing a quieter space to unwind post-gig
- Budget-conscious travelers who still want boutique-level comfort

Food and Drink Options

While INK 48 doesn’t have 24/7 room service, it’s in walking distance to dozens of late-night eats in Hell’s Kitchen – from ramen joints to pizza spots. On-site dining includes a trendy rooftop bar with small bites and cocktails, and breakfast is available to help recover after a late night.

Nightlife Options

INK 48’s rooftop bar, The Press Lounge, is a highlight in itself—offering sweeping skyline views and craft cocktails. For more action, you’re just blocks from NYC’s best bars, lounges, and live music spots. Whether you're up for a post-show drink or a quiet glass of wine overlooking the Hudson, this hotel keeps the night going.

What People Say

Guests love the floor-to-ceiling windows and how the views make every stay feel like a movie scene. Reviewers mention the staff is friendly and helpful, and many say they’d return for the rooftop alone. The location gets consistent praise for being close to everything yet offering a more relaxed Midtown experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the immediate area feels a bit industrial, and there's no on-site restaurant for full meals. A few reviewers noted that the elevators can be slow during busy times, especially when The Press Lounge is packed.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to a concert in the city and want a stylish, skyline-view retreat close to the action – INK 48 HOTEL hits all the right notes.

Robert G, New Jersey, visiting Hudson Terrace

Let me preface my review by saying that my wife and I have traveled worldwide and typically stay in 3 to 5 star properties wherever we travel to. Additionally we are both originally from New York. This is an awesome property for many reasons - however, the first is the level of service that the staff exemplifies (front desk, bell service, parking etc). In a city where being rude is the norm we were actually made to feel as if we were visiting our hometown as opposed to a fun Anniversary weekend. This was a last minute booking via online and email and yet the hotel not only provided us with a corner room on an upper floor (1408 I believe) but also had a bottle of bubbly on ice and a hand written note (nice touch). Very impressed with the smoothness and relatively care free check in BUT what was most surprising was the explanation of the parking situation which is no in and out upon validation at a rate of $65 daily (common in NY) but also a quick oratory of other parking garages in the area and approx. pricing and lay of the land in terms of street parking (NY street parking can be difficult just interpreting the signage). They actually went above and beyond which allowed us to make a decision as opposed to parking and finding out later. They probed just enough to explain area dining options (which are plentiful btw - after all, this is NY). The hotel is very chic from the decor of the lobby to the elevators and hallways and of course the rooms which are quite spacious (this is rare in NY where space is at a premium). The beds, lighting and bath are exquisite, not worldwide glamor but elegant chic while the bath products are top notch. They provide you with a complimentary list of items for your needs and sure enough I was in need as I forgot and requested shaving cream (they not only brought the cream but also 2 razors all within 4 minutes - again, rare for a big hotel in NY). This hotel has a great roof bar (we didn't get to enjoy as a guest booked out the roof for a private party (that must have cost a pretty penny) but it's widely recognized). Now the best reason to stay in a hotel on 11th Avenue in Hells Kitchen has to be the access to NYC nightlife and you basically have everything at your disposal including sports bars, clubs, adult clubs, lounges, piano & beyond. In a city that does not sleep this hotel sits in the heart. This is a better location than ANY cheesy Times Square hotel AND you're closer to the West Side Highway (in case you want to zip to the park or TriBeCa or Wall St etc.). See how long it takes for a cab to get from Times Square to 11th Avenue during rush hour (more than 40 minutes and we're talking a mere 4 to 5 blocks). The views from the property are killer especially since it has widely unobstructed views (again rare for a NY high rise building of any kind). There is also the CHANCE of parking around here unlike Midtown or Wall so that's a plus. The restaurant here is ok but to be honest you're in NY so why would you eat in your hotel unless it's 4 or 5 star dining right? Beds in the room are super comfortable and CLEAN! I can think of a few more reasons why I would book here again but I will leave it to you to share your own experience.

Liked: Viability to nightlife, rooftop bar, excellent views,
Disliked: Should link up with food vendor to offer 24hr in room.

Liked: Clean and well kept. The location is perfect for walking to nearby attractions and restaurants.
Disliked: The room we booked appeared to have a view of the river. Make sure you double check this so you don’t end up with a video of concrete building tops.

It was ok & a...

Liked: The staff were kind and the location was central which we great for shopping, site seeing, and restaurants. Also was pretty safe and I went out at night to walk alone to a few stores and restaurants.
Disliked: it wasn’t as clean as expected. The room also looked outdated for a New York hotel. The shower specially floor was so gross and dirty. And look an unsanitary.

Pleasant

Liked: It’s close to the important places. The cleaning service is exceptional. The beds are very, very comfortable.The staff was friendly and smiley
Disliked: During our 4-day stay, we repeatedly asked for shampoo and conditioner, as the bottles in the room were empty. However, despite frequently insisting, we only received a single small bottle for three people with long hair. The air conditioner leaks a lot of water even when turned off, so the carpet in the room is completely soaked, making squelching noises when we walk and constantly getting our feet wet. The room also had a very strong musty smell. Despite being a relatively expensive hotel, they don’t have umbrellas available for guests to borrow, which is something commonly offered in hotels.
