Firstly, I'm a loyal Kimpton traveler but Ink48 fell below my expectations. The first room they had me in was a bit dingy, so I asked for a change. The second room was better but still not great for a Kimpton (torn carpet etc). I will say the rooftop lounge view is fantastic.

I visited this hotel about a year ago, and had a most unpleasant experience. So, when my company sent me back this year I was rather dreading the trip. No need! The room was quite a bit more spacious than where I stayed last time (this time I was on the 11th floor). The decorations were much more attractive. The... More

This hotel is accommodating conferencess and business events so if you are seeiking calm quiet place -it's not it for sure. Very crowded with people in suits, loud lobby most of the time. Lobby bar is closed at 22.30 so if you want a relaxing drink after a long day out you will have to go to the roof top... More

We arrived after a grueling red-eye from the west coast at 7:30 am, and were told by a friendly, welcoming staff member that a room was ready for us. Amazing! Upstairs to the 14th floor we went, weary and worn, and walked into the most beautiful, pleasing, spotless, contemporary room with a full wall of window that showcased the Hudson... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for 10 nights over NYC 2012. I spent months researching with hotel to stay in NYC as we were coming from Australia and it was my 21st so we did want to splurge. This hotel was all my dreams come true. The view from my City View room was just what I... More

My new favourite hotel in New York, and definitely in my US top 5 list! This hotel is gorgeous, while a bit out of the way (but a quick walk to Time Square), it is unassuming from the outside. Even from booking, the team at Ink48 are amazing and accommodating, going above and beyond to give you the best experience... More

This Hotel is quirky, trendy, modern and clean with a very upmarket feel, like several other Kimpton Hotels we have stayed at. The staff are very attentive and helpful. In the context of NY where Hotels are outrageously expensive this property represents good value for money. The Hotel is located on 11th Ave and 48th Street about six blocks from... More

The Ink48 hotel ticks all the boxes: bright, modern and spacious rooms, nice restaurant and bar and a great and well mannered staff always ready to help. Special mention to Jason, who would go out of his way to make sure guests are happy with their stay. I'm in NYC often for business and always stay at Ink48. I highly... More

This hotel is decent and quite reasonable. The bedroom size is good and all in all no complaints. Everyone seems nice and helpful. The rooftop bar is really great with wonderful views. It's not too far from Times Square. I like the fact that there are low buildings around; it give the sense of space and openness.

We stayed at Ink 48 at the start of the year and I was very impressed with my stay. When we arrived we were greeted and advised that we had an upgrade. The view from our view was amazing and the set up was really nice. It was one of the better hotel rooms I have stayed in. The location... More
