Overview
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. 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.

Wonderful Experience

My son, granddaughter and I loved our stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Especially loved continental breakfast and the lovely woman who served us. The complimentary evening wine and cheese hours were enjoyable. And the hotel's access to Times Square, the theater district and shopping were pluses. Thank you. We had fun.

Except for no full length mirror in my room, my time at the Library Hotel was truly a joy. The employees from top to bottom were excellent. I feel the price is a tad on the high side considering the extremely small rooms. But...having said that, it was an excellent hotel experience.

Good Feeling

After a 14-day cruise it's hard for almost any hotel to cope with the challenge of a ship's standard. The Library with its elegant and design interior and its very helpful and smart staff did a very good job. We loved the stay and it truly was not the last one.

Excellent Location. Friendly helpful staff. Uniquely appointed rooms with tasteful design. Guest friendly extras: welcoming bottle of wine, breakfast, snacks and wine available in a wonderful sitting room though out the day. Staff willing to go the "extra" to help with any questions. Perfectly situated to take advantage of the New York experience. All in all a great experience.

From the moment of check-in, the staff went out of their way to answer all questions and assist, 24/7. Only difficulty was low signal, so Wifi was nill and void! Really hard to work! Made me think twice about booking again. The staff indicated the server was doing maintenance and this was not a regular problem. The location is great, just steps from Grand Central!
