Description
The Library Hotel brings a unique concept to the world of hospitality in New York City and is a property that no book lover should ever miss. As the name suggests , the hotel is indeed organized just like a library with 10 floors arranged according to the Dewey Decimal System (the same used in most libraries over the world). You will therefore find entire floors of rooms dedicated to a specific subject and containing literally hundreds of books. The topics include social sciences , literature , languages , history , math & science , general knowledge , technology , philosophy , the arts and religion. Moreover , to allow you to share your thoughts regarding a book with other culture lovers or simply to sit back and relax with your favorite author , the hotel features two exquisite venues , a patio and lounge with their own terraces , the Poetry Garden and the Writer's Den. An exclusively appointed bar , located between the Poetry Garden and the Writer's Den , provides refreshments throughout the day and transforms into a beautiful cocktail lounge each Monday - Saturday evening. Furthermore , complimentary afternoon tea , coffee , cappuccino , espresso , cafe au lait , cookies and fruits are always available in the Reading Room. Imported champagne , fine wines and a selection of cheeses are served Monday to Saturday evenings from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wi-Fi Internet access is available in the Reading Room and in the business center , while sports lovers will enjoy free access at the nearby New York Sports Club. A meeting room for up to 12 people is located on the Penthouse level and same day dry cleaning service is also available. The first floor Madison & Vine Restaurant is the hotel's brand new American Bistro and international Wine Bar , serving lunch and dinner in a casually elegant setting.
