## Summary

MGallery has signed New York's Ink 48 as its U.S. flagship, with the Hell's Kitchen hotel and its 222 rooms and suites set to join Accor's boutique brand in 2028 and stay open through an extensive renovation.

The riverside tower is known for skyline views and rooftop bar Hudson Vu. Accor said the work will try to lift the stay without erasing the hotel's character. MGallery already has over 125 hotels worldwide, including Hotel Ändra Seattle. Brand leadership called the New York conversion a major step for North American awareness and growth.

The hotel stays independent through the renovation. Accor Live Limitless members should be able to earn and redeem points there once it joins the collection. Nothing to book yet, but watch for Ink 48 to enter Accor Live Limitless in 2028.
