Located in the creative center of New York City, Hell's Kitchen, near Times Square, Ink 48 Hotel comes to life in the city's preeminent theatrical printing press from the 1930s. Transformed with modern interiors, the historic hotel's 222 guestrooms and suites have views of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River, home of Hudson VU Rooftop.
This isn’t just another rooftop bar – it’s a one-of-a-kind experience created exclusively for our guests. Hudson VU is where Ink 48’s modern, creative, boutique style comes to life. In every sip of a craft cocktail and every glance at the skyline, you’ll sense the hotel’s artistic spirit and contemporary vibe. Hudson VU is by reservation only. Even though this year 4th of July fireworks will be on the east river (on the other side of town) we still invite you to enjoy this special date with us with the best views of the Hudson and the Manhattan skyline.
After a day of sight-seeing, world-class dining and plenty of entertainment, retreat to your spacious guestroom to relax, recharge and get ready to do it again tomorrow!
