Ink 48 is located in Hell’s Kitchen on Manhattan’s West Side overlooking the Hudson River.
The hotel’s accommodation includes 17 suites, a signature penthouse, alongside dining facilities, a rooftop bar, a fitness centre and approximately 6,000ft² of meeting and event space.
Food and beverage operations at the hotel include Hudson Local, a ground-floor restaurant, and Hudson VU, a rooftop bar with views across the Manhattan skyline.
In a statement, Accor said: “The signing of Ink 48 reinforces Accor’s commitment to expanding its luxury footprint across North America.
“With the successful introduction of Hotel Ändra Seattle – MGallery Collection, and the US ranking among MGallery’s top five feeder markets globally, the country represents a strategic growth opportunity for the brand.”
Accor partnered with New York-based private equity investment vehicle Capstone Equities for the project.
Capstone Equities Asset Management head Andres Ramirez said: “We are delighted to partner with Accor to bring Ink48 into the MGallery Collection.
“Ink48 has always stood apart in Manhattan’s hotel landscape, a property with a genuine sense of place and a loyal following.
“MGallery is the ideal brand to build on that: a collection defined by individuality rather than uniformity, allowing us to elevate the guest experience and the hotel’s positioning while preserving what our guests value most about it.”
