The Ink48 is a beautiful hotel full of the typical Kimpton touches (lighted night tables, mod furnishings, cool shower/fixtures, etc.). Even on one of the coldest weekends so far this winter, the rooftop bar/lounge was incredible with its fantastic views of the river and Times Square. The hotel is just far enough away for great city views and to avoid the touristy hordes rushing to get to the places touristy hordes rush to in TSq. The restaurant - Print - was beautiful and very good, too, though somewhat pricey (hey, it's hip Manhatttan), but, within a block or two, you're in the heart of Hell's Kitchen with its fantastic dining/drinking choices, if you go only another block further, you're in the theater district, so the walk to and from the show or nearly anywhere is only a pleasant 10-15 minutes. Highly recommended if you like premium-yet-distinctive-and-even-fun accomodations. Off the beaten path in more ways than one.
