Library Hotel

The 60-room Library Hotel occupies a landmark brick and terra cotta building dating back to 1900. Its lobby has been artfully furnished with leather sofas, a fireplace, throw rugs, and book nooks, much like a sophisticated drawing room or study. The ten floors of guestrooms are named after the major categories of the Dewey Decimal System: Social Sciences, Literature, Languages, History, Math & Science, General Knowledge, Technology, Philosophy, the Arts, and Religion.

Accommodations range from Petite Rooms with single beds and Deluxe Rooms with queens to Junior Suites with kings, a two-room Family Unit, and the Love Room with its own private terrace. Complimentary breakfast and afternoon snacks are provided in the Reading Room on the second floor, along with imported champagne, fine wines and various cheeses each evening. Lunch and dinner are also served at Madison & Vine, the hotel's new American Bistro and International Wine Bar on the first floor.

For exercise and relaxation, the hotel has arranged complimentary use of the nearby New York Sports Club. The Library Hotel is located in Midtown Manhattan near the corner of 41st Street at 299 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017. Parking is available for $30~$40 per day at Caliber Parking, 90 Park Avenue at 39th Street.
