The Kimpton hotel group has braved Midtown’s wild far west with Ink48, perched on the subway-starved edge of Manhattan. Occupying a converted printing house, the compensation is sweet: stellar skyline and Hudson River views, chic contemporary rooms, a boutique spa and restaurant, and a stunning rooftop bar. Topping it off is easy walking access to Hell's Kitchen's thriving restaurant scene.
Dog owners will appreciate the free bowl of kibble and water that's just outside the lobby (pets stay for free). The hotel's daily $30 amenities fee includes wi-fi, free phone calls and a $10 daily food credit for room service or the in-house restaurant.
