Designed to feel more like a private club than a hotel, each of the Library*s elegantly appointed accommodations have been individually adorned with a collection of art and 25-100 books based on one distinctive topic. The topics are organized throughout the hotel based on the Dewey Decimal System, with floors dedicated to the ten major categories including The Arts, Literature, Philosophy, and Language. The Library Hotel's guests enjoy complimentary high-speed Internet access in all guestrooms. In the Reading Room guests are invited to relax with complimentary refreshments served throughout the day including a lavish continental breakfast buffet daily and a wine and cheese reception every evening from 5pm -8pm. Guests may retreat to the luxurious Penthouse level, featuring the beautiful mahogany paneled Writers Den with working fireplace as well as the glamorous Poetry Garden, a glass enclosed greenhouse with a wrap around terrace. Other distinctive features Library guests will have at their disposal include the Executive Inspiration Board Room on the 15th floor, and the Business Center on the Second Floor. Complimentary passes are available to a nearby health club.
Most recent user reviewsScore 5 out of 5 Review Keith, San Francisco, CA No review provided by user Score 5 out of 5 A wonderful treat Anonymous Chez Laurence, 3 blocks away at 38th and Madison serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and provides a nice dining experience. If you prefer a typical New York diner, Moonstruck is at 38th on the opposite side of Madison.The Library Hotel was all I expected, and one of the best New York hotel experiences I've had in the 50 years I've been visiting the city. The room I had contained a very comfortable double bed, and much more space than most New York hotel rooms. The bathroom was large enough to contain all my grooming items, cosmetics, and medicines - also a rarity in NY hotel rooms. Every member of the staff I encountered during the three days I was there was friendly and unfailingly helpful. The Reading Room offered a wide range of items in the complimentary continental breakfast, as well as snacks and tea and coffee drinks all day long. It was lovely to come back from the theatre on a cold night, and have a cappucino while relaxing in the indoor Poetry Garden, or take a cup of tea to your room. The hotel is from 1 to 4 blocks away from The New York Public Library, Fifth Avenue, Grand Central Station, The Morgan Library and Museum, dozens of restaurants, the Grand Central Market (which offers a huge variety of eat-in or take-away foods, as well as 2 subway and many bus lines. Score 5 out of 5 Excellent location Jill, 2007-02-19 The parking garage was only $25 for the night.Very unique.

Clever concept built around the Dewey Decimal System. My room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The rooftop bar is quite popular -- so avoid staying in a room directly underneath it. Also, elevators are quite crowded with folks going up for a drink after work -- especially when the weather is nice. But the location is terrific. And the staff actually understands and practices Customer Service! Score 5 out of 5 Excellent use of room space, nice large bathroom donna, Charlotte, NC, 2005-12-18 Parking garage for the hotel is two blocks away, discounted after you have the ticket stamped at the hotel. Several rental car pick up areas within a few blocks' walk.The Library Hotel was everthing we expected it to be. Although small in number and size of rooms it was very warm and cozy, especially the serene library and cool rooftop lounge. The breakfast was fresh and filling, with a great view of the surrounding area. Excellent staff, very friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Excellent and well thought out use of space in the room. The bed was very comfortable, with plenty of down pillows and bedding. The room had a narrow closet but plenty of drawers, two small bedside tables, a sitting chair and small table, bed, marble vanity with huge mirror, and a cabinet with TV, safe and mini-bar. Walking distance to shopping, Rockefeller Plaza, and several unique neighborhood bars and restaurants. Perfect for business or couples, not really a place for kids though. Score 5 out of 5 Quiet and luxurious Anonymous, Chicago, IL, 2005-09-05 Only a block from the Grand Central Station. A bus from LaGuardia is around the corner from the hotel. Great central location.The Library Hotel is a great place to stay in New York City. It is centrally located, has a lovely continental breakfast, excellent books to read, and is top drawer in cleanliness. I would highly recommend this hotel. |
