The property features 222 guestrooms, including 17 suites, a rooftop bar, restaurant and meeting facilities, making it one of the most prominent MGallery addresses in North America.
Capstone Equities is a New York-based real estate private equity investment vehicle formed to make strategic, value-add investments in both hospitality and commercial real estate opportunities across major global metropolitan areas. The partnership reflects a shared ambition to create a distinctive hotel experience that celebrates the energy, creativity and cultural richness of New York City while introducing guests to the signature universe of MGallery Collection.
A distinctive Manhattan address inspired by New York's creative spirit
Originally conceived as a contemporary urban retreat, Ink 48 offers guests a unique perspective on New York City, blending industrial-inspired design with panoramic views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline. Through its affiliation with MGallery Collection and supported by Rebel's lifestyle and luxury team, the hotel will further embrace the brand's philosophy of creating hotels with character, rooted in the culture and spirit of their destination.
The property features 222 guestrooms and suites, including a signature penthouse suite, with accommodations designed to provide a sense of space rarely found in Manhattan. Guests will enjoy an elevated urban experience complemented by curated design, personalized service and meaningful connections to the destination.
The hotel's culinary offering includes Hudson Local, the ground-floor restaurant, and Hudson VU, its iconic rooftop bar overlooking the city skyline. Additional facilities include approximately 6,000 square feet of meeting and event space across multiple venues, as well as a fitness center.
A thoughtful transformation towards a new chapter
Following the signing, the hotel will undergo a renovation designed to introduce MGallery's signature brand touchpoints, elevated design elements and immersive guest experiences. During this period, the property will continue operating as an independent hotel, ensuring continuity for guests while the transformation progresses. Once completed, the hotel will reopen in 2028 under the MGallery Collection banner, ushering in a new era for this iconic Manhattan address.
