There are hotels...and then there are HOTELS. Located off the corner of East 41 street (aka Library Way) and Madison Avenue is one of the best concept hotels I have ever visited. The Library Hotel exudes a cool/intelligent/elegant vibe that is a true rarity by today's hotel standards.

The hotel is constructed of brick and terra cotta, which really helps it stand out from the other office buildings surrounding it. The charming entrance of the Library leads you into there cozy lobby just to the right. The front desk was insanely nice and informative upon check-in.

What is so cool about the Library Hotel is that no two rooms are the same. Based upon the Dewey Decimal System, all 10 floors have their own theme, which include Social Sciences, Literature, Languages, History, Math & Science, General Knowledge, Technology, Philosophy, The Arts and Religion.

I was lucky enough to snag a junior suite with king size bed with sofa bed. I stayed on the 7th floor, which was all about "The Arts." The theme for my room was "Fashion & Design." Now while I could not tell you the difference between Gucci and Gap clothing or what will be "in style this Fall", I did love the room and all that it offered. Plus it had an awesome book about rock music and fashion at the foot of the bed!

The in room amenities were abundant. They included an LG flat panel television, safe, down blankets with 100% Egyptian cotton linen, signature bathrobe and slippers (which were both comfy), iHome MP3 dock/alarm clock radio, complimentary bottled water, nice smelling bath products by Thymes Azur, comfy couch (remember this was a deluxe room), complimentary high speed internet, and of course books! Lots and lots of books!

Speaking if books, remember this is the "Library Hotel", so expect to see a lot of reading material lying around this place. I mean from the lobby to the lounge, there were books galore. For someone like me who loves to read, I was in literary heaven.

Now the fun does not stop at the luxurious accommodations my friends. The Library Hotel also has tons of goodies for you to enjoy during your stay. Best of all most of them are free! They include:

   * European style continental breakfast served daily each morning.
   * Cappuccino, cafe au lait, espresso, cookies, and fruits served all day in the Reading Room on the second floor.
   * Also located in the Reading Room between 5-8pm is a wine and cheese reception.
   * Need to catch up on what's going on in the world? Enjoy a great selection of local and national newspapers.
   * While high speed wireless internet is available throughout the hotel, I found it pretty slow at times.
   * No laptop? No problem. The hotel offers a 24 hour computer station with a printer.
   * Gym buffs can get in their daily workout with a free pass to a nearby New York Sports Club.
   * Tired of reading? Then choose from over 180 complimentary DVD movies located in the lobby.
   * Seriously that is a lot of freebies for one hotel!
   * The Library also provides discount parking nearby, room service, concierge service & laundry/dry cleaning.

Okay so I read some books, enjoyed an impromptu pillow fight in my room (which I won by the way), ate some delicious cheeses, downed some intoxicating wines, and even rented a free DVD movie from the lobby.  So, what else is there to do around this hotel? Oh yeah time to check out the rooftop!

I like to enjoy a good ol' icy cold adult beverage like the next nomad, so I was pretty excited to check out the Library Hotel's Bookmark Lounge. Located on the 14th floor, this magnificent granite bar will be the first thing you see once the elevator doors open. Step right up and enjoy such literary libations as the "Great Gatsby" or the "Capote."

Also on this floor is the hotel's "Writer's Den", which is a quaint room that provides visitors with a fireplace, flat panel television, and an enclosed garden terrace. Step through the doors that lead you outside and take in the breathtaking beauty that is the "Poetry Garden", which is a huge terrace that offers plenty of places to sit, relax, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.

One feature of the hotel that I did not have time to check out was the lobby level restaurant called Madison & Vine. But the place was busy when I walked by it (which is always a good sign) and the decor was very cool and hip. With the prices being reasonable and the menu looking pretty tasty, I will be sure to check it out in the near future.

The Library Hotel is just minutes from many top NYC attractions and landmarks such as the Broadway/Theater District, Bryant Park and Grand Central Terminal. Plus you will have the best of the Big Apple at your front door with top restaurants, shops and nightlife.

In closing, what else do you want from a hotel? What with a super friendly staff, ideal location, extremely comfortable room and tons of freebies, never has visiting a library been so much fun.

I was coming into the city by train and selected this hotel based on the yelp reviews and cost.  I've stayed in many hotels in NYC and I was not impressed at all with the Library Hotel.  The hotel is "cute" as it is very tiny. I am petite myself and even I think it's too small.  And this doesn't apply to just the room (and I've stayed in rooms in Japan and Europe which were bigger) but also to the hallways and elevator.  The book theme is also "cute" but does this mean there is any substance?  I was curious to see how this was going to be utilized and yes books are used in the decor and the room are numbered via the dewey decimal system.  My problems are:

Front desk - poor customer service.  When I checked in at 3 PM I requested dinner reservation for a specific restaurant between 8-930  The lead concierge delegated the task to Monique who was also at the front desk.  I dropped my bags off and headed out on the town.  Upon my return, there was no message.  I had to return to the front desk where another concierge tried to confirm reservations.  Well by this time it was 7:30 and it was obvious a reservation was never made.  This is unacceptable.  If you can't do the job - don't ask to do it.  

Book selection - ehhhh.  I felt like I was looking at a Friends of the Library book sale.  It appears that's how they shopped for the decor.  Mediocre books. Apparantly at one time these were arrange by type but now much more arranged for asthetics.    

The breakfast and reading room is aedequate.  The buffet staff there extremely polite and helpful.  I would also add the doormen were friendly .

Location - good.  Close to Grand Central.  Low traffic.  Some street construction (but this is NYC).

Overall I would NOT recommend. I would go to Bowrey or the Empire.  You get much more and they understand what true customer service is.

Best Stay in NYC. I have stayed in many hotels in NYC and this hotel is definitely my top two. Actually, it is my favorite.  The service was top notch and the place is extremely nice, clean and just simply amazing.

Two thumbs up. A must stay.

The Library Hotel is a charming, quaint, and welcoming place to stay while in NYC.

My favorite part of the Library Hotel is the Reading room.  The Reading Room provides snacks and coffee throughout the whole day.  Their Vanilla Nut Coffee was so delicious.  I am not a big coffee drinker but they had me hooked.  It was fun to sit in the reading room sipping on coffee, people watching out the window.  

In the evening the reading room has a wine and cheese reception which is nice to sit and mingle with the other guests, or you can bring a glass of wine to your room.

I took advantage of their AFI top 100 Selection, although the tv's in the room were on the smaller side.

The amenities were wonderful.  A con is that they don't have a gym in the hotel but they do provide complimentary passes to a gym nearby, but for me, if the gym is not in the hotel, I am most likely not going to go at all.

The hotel is extremely clean, and the furnishings are modern and classy.    I did have room service, but I will write a separate review on that, because the room service is from a restaurant that is separate from the hotel and it should not reflect or take away from the hotel itself.

Igor and the men at the front desk were warm, genuine, and very helpful.  

Check out packages that are available before you book your reservation, you may find something that intrigues you.

After torturing the staff with my hundreds of questions, I booked a suite for the first weekend of Fashion Week. So exciting!

I love to travel so when I'm booked to go somewhere, it's on... rain or shine.

Unfortunately, I got too sick to travel and had to cancel all my fashion week plans last minute!!

Nick at the Library Hotel was so accommodating and professional when it came to handling my cancellation that I will be sure to book this hotel for my next NY trip.

If you weren't a fan of the Library back in your school days I am sure you will love this one! The Library hotel can be summed up in one simple, but very over-used term.......fab-u-lous!!!

"Let me get your bags Miss, and would you prefer the Encyclopedia or the Photography room?" Not sure what this means yet but let's kick it old school and go with the encyclopedias. Everything about this hotel becomes increasingly intriguing.

Each room possesses its own theme with books that match the topic of the room. Feel free to perouse the eclectic collection of books in your room. What a relief to find a true boutique hotel in the heart of Manhattan (midtown east), but not in the middle of  Times Square. Much calmer and no worries there is still a Starbucks right across the way. The staff is unbeatable! Hands down the best I have experience. There are 60 rooms total, just 6 on each floor, so you will be a welcomed guest and taken care of very well.

Some of the many perks the hotel boast are, turn-down service with chocolates (that include quotes from Emerson and other famous literary artists) and a card that gives you a weather update for the coming morning. They have 100+ complimentary DVDs you can have delivered to your room ("When Harry Met Sally", what a great one). There is a second floor reading room that you are welcome to use whenever you would like. The hotel serves a European style B-fast included with your room, wine and cheese each evening from 5pm-8pm, and light snacks the rest of the night for you to munch on.

There is a rooftop bar called bookmarks that I wish I could have tried, and it is on my agenda for my next visit. Car arrangement to any airport is super easy, just press 0. Library Hotel is my new fave boutique hotel, you must stay here!

Great during the summer time to stop by for a drink before hopping the Metro North home.  I went here for a coworker's good bye party and it definitely got uncomfortably crowded.  This is a perfect place to meet up with just a friend or two.

The place is tiny but the outside seating feels like you're in someone's balcony, nice home-feel, garden "scenery."  They also serve this refreshing Raspberry belini; fresh raspberries crushed to perfection served with champagne.

I had drinks with some friends at the Library hotel on a Thursday night. Be sure to make a reservation if you are in a group, as this place gets packed! You enter through 41st Street and go up the elevator to the top floor.

Come here to catch up with friends or go on a date, but be prepared to pay at least $15-$18 for a drink! (they are yummy and unique though)

The crowd is mostly people in their 20s-30s unwinding after work. The views are great, but it can get a little noisy on a busy night. The servers are very friendly. A must-try for New York.

Nice boutique hotel with friendly service.

The location is good - with easy access to uptown and downtown on the subway.  Breakfast and snacks are a plus.  The library theme is cute and each floor covers a different literary subject.

My main complaint is the lack of proper shades.  The wooden blinds don't really block out much light, so it is too bright in the morning.  Also, the shower pressure could be better.

Great boutique hotel with a literary theme. Each floor has a different topic related to the dewey decimal classification. We were on the Philosophy floor. The included breakfast and welcome drinks are not fancy but make for a nice touch. They have a fun rooftop patio bar with nice views. The rooms are small, but typical size for New York. It has enough room for the essentials. They also offer the AFI Top 100 DVDs (and more) for free to watch in your room. Very nice touch! Great location near Bryant Park and Grand Central. Definitely a find!

It's our favorite place in NY.  We stayed there for 2 nights for Bf's birthday.  I emailed the hotel with a sincere advanced request for a free room upgrade but was turned down due to unavailability.  I requested them to put a note in their system so they could do it when it's available.  And it worked!  They upgraded our room from deluxe Queen to King Love room.  And it's the only room with balcony in the hotel!!!  

The hotel has rooms in different themes, like architecture, psychology, love, world culture, technology, music ... Basically the floor plan is the same but just with different pictures and books per the theme of the room.  Our room was on 11fl and facing to the NY library.   The room is spacious, modern, bright and of NY essence.  We couldnt' wait walking out to the balcony and enjoyed the gorgeous Madison Street view from the 11th floor.  We checked out the "Love" literatures and some of them were famous publications on Love topic from various perspectives such as emotional communication, sexual relationship, family love, peace love and etc. One of the pictures in the room is the reproduction of Klimt's.  The bathroom is spacious and sleek.  We both felt we were really in NY!  

The hotel offered nice 24-hour complimentary snacks and drinks as well as breakfast every day in the reading area.    A very nice stay!

The hotel itself is quite nice, with a good location for me. The decor really plays to my sensibilities, being a book lover.  The idea of having the room numbers being Dewey Decimal numbers is cool, though in reality the numbers bear little resemblance to the actual system.

Another nice feature was the DVD players in every room with around 150 movies to borrow (no extra cost).  For the most part the films are Oscar winners from over the years, with a few kids films and some popular stuff.  I took advantage of this one night to watch "The Best Years of Our Lives", which I'd never seen.  The TVs were nice, but smaller than I'm used to in a hotel room.  This is important, because I pulled a chair up to watch the film.  If you are the kind of person who wants to sit in bed and watch a film, the screen is definitely too small for that.

The decor and layout of the room was nice.  All the books end up just being for show, since I always bring my own reading along on trips, but the couple pictures that matched the theme was cool.  The restroom was laid out nicely and was fairly roomy.

The bed was so-so.  I slept OK, but the pillows left a little to be desired.  When the room rate for a single is $325 a night plus taxes, I'd expect more.

The biggest problem with this hotel room, though, was the shower. Given that I only expect two things out of a hotel room – bed and shower &nash; this is a big failing.  First of all, the shower temperature wouldn't remain constant.  It would occasionally get scalding hot, then a few minutes later would be tepid if not cold.  At night when I just want to shower and then go to sleep, getting my adrenaline pumping like that is seriously uncool. The second annoyance was the curtain. No matter whether the bathroom door was open or not (I tried it both ways), the curtain would blow into you and stick to your skin while showering. Seriously, seriously annoying. I found it easier to lay down a towel outside the shower and just let the curtain drip onto the floor, as that was the only scheme I could come up with which didn't have that cold curtain sticking to me.

Oh, and breakfast is included.  Nothing special at all, just hot drinks, bagels and muffins, and fresh fruit. Not what I'd go for on my own, but enough to tide me over until lunch.

Looking for something different, we chose the Library Hotel, near the New York Public Library, and immersed ourselves in a literary experience. Over 6,000 volumes, organized by the Dewey Decimal System (remember those days?), are placed throughout the hotel for guests to peruse and enjoy. It's a small hotel with 60 thematic rooms. We were in 400.003 Languages: Germanic - Although, my father is a 1/4 German we never went beyond the occasional 'danke', so the lovely German story and poetry books went unread. The illustrations were nice though! We're hoping for The Arts next time around.

Our room was very small but so beautifully detailed, we almost forgot that we had to take turns walking across the room to avoid a low impact collision. Dark wood furnishings accented with celadon and gold tones gave the room warmth and sophistication. The hotel staff was a bit sparse but friendly and pleasant when encountered. Pulling art and photography books off the many shelves reminded me of school days and trips to the library... but more fun. There isn't a restaurant in the hotel but you can dine on a simple breakfast, afternoon tea or evening wine and cheese in the Reading Room. You'll find tables and lounge-friendly sofas surrounded by walls of books. Upstairs, in the writer's den, are big club chairs, a fireplace and terrace with a view. Before a night out, we had a glass of champagne in the outdoor Poetry Garden and enjoyed a view of the vibrant city lights.

The Library Hotel is not your typical New York swank-as-all-get-out place to stay. It has a special personality that you won't find in a lot of places, and it's quite modest by comparison. If you love books or just want something a little different, you'll find this place quite enchanting. Staying here was such a treat. I highly recommend it.

Make sure to visit their web site to see their complete list of room categories & availability: http://www.libraryhote.../ Rooming in 'Slavic' may not be so romantic.

one of my favorite NYC hotels.

If you like books, this is where you have to stay when in NYC. the rooms are organized by the dewey-decimal system, like every other library. You could end up with a room full of shelves dedicated to art and architecture, math, science, botany, romance, or so many other things ..

The area that they serve the breakfast (the reading room) has a decent quality automatic espresso machine, and you can get there 24 hrs a day - so there is no need to go far for a decent hot cup of real coffee. The staff was always super friendly and quick with checking in and out, a real great hotel experience in new york city.

If it's warm out the poetry garden at the Library is also a nice place to go to get away from the city noise. If its bad weather and you want to stay in, they have a free loaning DVD library of the American Film Institute's top 100 films of the 20th Century..

i just wish it were closer and cheaper!!  we would be down here all the time!

Exceeded every expectation!  All the amenities are thoughtful and make the stay in the city seamless and enjoyable.  Love the free wi-fi, 24h available snacks, slippers, superb service, central location, fresh orchids and bamboo in the rooms.  Love room for 3 days, LOVED it!  The private balcony was awesome to host drinks for a few friends on a balmy night.  Will stay there again.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful this hotel is- I love the theme of the place- books everywhere on every subject you can think of. The staff was amazing- they brought us free bottles of wine and a huge platter of fruit and cheese, and we chose from a large selection of movies to watch- for free. There were the softest slippers/robes in the room in addition to fresh flowers. The room itself was beautiful too- the bathroom was modern and stylish and the room, although not the largest, felt spacious and was extremely comfortable. They have an amazing roof area that turns into a cafe during the day that is so relaxing. According to the other reviews theres a love room.... I've been wanting to go back, maybe I finally have a reason...

For my 200th review, I wanted to review something I really liked.  In the past weeks, I've been disappointed with many places I've been, except for the same old lunch spots that I love in the Tenderloin (creature of habit = fewer new reviews), so I thought about what experiences I have really liked.  I picked the Library Hotel.  It's fantastic.  

I've stayed in a lot of hotels in NY:  we look around, we try to find something boutique-y and cool, we're on an expense account.  Yet we are picky.  Rooms are small, decor is unaesthetic.  We travel a lot in Asia, and so are spoiled.  But the Library Hotel  (for a book-a-phile and an oenophile comme moi) is great.  The rooms we've stayed in are small  (they do have larger rooms and suites, but we are, um, value-conscious even on an expense account), but they are very well-appointed:  flat-screen TV, super cool bathroom, nice appointments, a zen-like approach to the decor.  Plus books!  Each room has a different literary theme, including books in the room on that theme.  For a friend's birthday, they stayed in the Erotica room, while we stayed with Japanese literature.  It's hard to describe how cool that is, but it's cool.  They have fantastic breakfasts (not to order, but a minimalist-but-still-good buffet with toast-your-own bagels (sigh, NY bagels) (or Miami bagels, or LA bagels) (just not SF bagels) and fruit, lattes, the like, in a room on the 2nd floor called the Library (with all the papers, and shelves of books).  In the late afternoon/evening (4 to 8?), in the same room, they serve wine (including Prosecco) and cheese, and there are refreshments there (coffee, pastries, and the like) 24-7.  On an upper floor, there is a place called the Writer's Grotto (big room, fireplaces) and an outdoor spot called the Poetry Garden (outdoors in NY is hard to find).  You can have private parties there (we like to have friends over when we visit a city) (and heck, you can just take a bottle of champagne up there and sit outside, or by the fire!) .  It was supposed to turn into a club/bar, but I don't think that ever happened (which I'm glad about) (so much better as a private bar).  And finally, it's across the street from the Public Library/Bryant Park (why can't the square in front of our library and City Hall be like Bryant Park?)  

I think these folks also own the Gansevoort (which I've meant to try in the summer b/c it has a pool), but we really like the Library.  We are not midtown or uptown in our tastes, and we prefer lower lower Manhattan (from the Village to Nolita and beyond), but this is close to work for the BF, and it really is a literary oasis.  When we went to NY, for example, to see the Gates, it was all around an outstanding experience.  And Bistro DB Moderne  (Daniel Boloud's bistro concept) is right there in the neighborhood  (and I turned my nose up at it, resisted it, and had a truly delicious meal there, including the burger w/ f.g. that was actually all that it was hyped to be), so the Library is for us.  (You think I get disappointed in high-end restaurants in SF?  You should see me in NY.)

By the way, I should mention that for NY?  It's really well-priced.  As I mentioned above, we are value-conscious consumers.  Not cheap, just value-conscious.

My all-time favorite hotel. This one is a gem in busy NYC. The Library Hotel not only brings the library theme to life in every room, but the hotel transforms your day with its feeling of unhurried serenity. I did not want to check out. Hoping to get back to NY soon so I can revisit the Library Hotel.

If you love books..
If you love cozy, comfortable and warm boutique hotels..
If you love rooftop bars that are beautiful and warm..

You'll love this place!  Being close to Bryant Park and Mid-town location near Penn/lunch places is great too.

My only prob is the bed could have been more comfortable - I have enjoyed that at similiar hotels in comfort/style/price.  Also shades don't darken the room enough of the room I was in.  Service is excellent however.  Their 2nd floor is awesome - the 24/7 room has comp happy hr/breakfast, is lined with books and provides a quaint place to hang out.  Also comp wi-fi and ipod speakers in room.

this hotel is why staying in a boutique hotel is fun!  i wish that i had come up with this idea, and implemented so successfully!  all of the rooms in ny are small, unless you are paying a lot of money, so quit looking for a large hotel room.  it is the extra things that make the hotel memorable.  a quick comment on the room:  we stayed in a queen bed room.  it was small, but big enough for two people.  queen bed, desk, closet, and a bathroom that is large for ny standards!  

but the extras are what makes this hotel.  the library theme appeals to my inner nerd.  having a room dedicated to math - that is unbelievably awesome!  while the rooftop garden/bar appeals to my outer hipster personality.  you can take the continental bfast up to the roof and sit outside and enjoy it.  or you can keep the bfast on the 2nd floor in their writer's den and enjoy it there.  

the staff was great - everyone was friendly and helpful and seemed to enjoy their job.  which is more than i can say for my place of employment!  i will happily stay here again!

I researched dozens of boutique hotels in NYC before booking and I am so glad we picked the Library Hotel. The service was fantastic, the amenities fabulous and overall had a really great experience. We stayed in the Geography and Travel room, along with a special Erotica Package. It wasn't cheap but I'm glad we got the package because the "decorations" that came with the package was really romantic and special. Of course, the bottle of Prosecco that came with the package was delicious and we were able to enjoy it on their rooftop bar/lounge. The robes were nice, too! I loved that there were already international plug adapters built into the wall, how thoughtful! The continental breakfast and afternoon wine reception were all nice touches... and there is an espresso machine on the second floor where the breakfast and wine are served. I loved browsing through the books in our room and also in every floor and nook and cranny. What a special place to spend a weekend! The Library Hotel is truly a classy boutique hotel with bookish elegance!
