Get Your Advance Copy: Ink48 is Now Open

Where: 653 11th Avenue [map], New York, NY, United States, 10036

We love it when hotels open ahead of schedule so a big (Rihanna Bellman's) hat tip to Kimpton's Ink48 Hotel in Manhattan for opening up one day before the scheduled opening date.

Of course, we have been waiting for this hotel to open--way back when it was supposed to be The VU Hotel so we guess Ink48 had to make up for lost time.

Our sources say the hotel actually was open yesterday too. Room rates are currently going for $269 tonight for a total of $312 with taxes.

The hotel is located on 11th Avenue in a former printing house and each room has retained the building's original high ceilings. Guests will get complimentary breakfast (before October 15), a two-hour wine tasting session in the lobby from 5 to 7pm and gourmet honor bar selections in the room.

L'occitane toiletries can be found in the baths, Frette sheets cover the beds and flat-screens and iPod docking stations round out the in-room amenities. We can't wait to check it out!
