Accor’s MGallery boutique hotel brand will establish its first flagship property in the United States at the Ink 48 hotel in New York City, with the transition scheduled for 2028. Located in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood near the Hudson River, the Ink 48 hotel features 222 rooms and suites and is known for its rooftop bar, Hudson Vu, which offers panoramic skyline views.
Ink 48 Hotel Details and Renovation Plans
The Ink 48 hotel will officially join MGallery in 2028 while remaining open and operational under independent management during a planned extensive renovation. Accor described the renovation as an “extensive renovation and enhancement program designed to elevate
the guest experience while preserving the property’s distinctive character.” The hotel’s rooftop bar continues to draw guests with its views of New York City landmarks.
Ownership and Management
The hotel operates through a partnership between New York-based Capstone Equities and Montreal’s Leyad. Management of the Ink 48 hotel is handled by Rebel Hotel Company. This collaboration supports the property’s redevelopment and integration into the MGallery brand.
MGallery’s Global and U.S. Presence
MGallery’s portfolio comprises over 125 hotels worldwide, including locations across Vietnam, Switzerland, Morocco, Australia, Canada, and Mexico. In the U.S., Ink 48 will serve as MGallery’s flagship property, joining Hotel Ändra in Seattle within the brand’s North
American footprint. This move aligns with Accor’s strategy to expand MGallery’s presence through flagship properties in key markets.
