Washington Post profiles Library Hotel in Manhattan

The Washington Post recently profiled the Library Hotel in Manhattan. The hotel, located one block away from the New York Public Library at 41st and Madison, maintains over 6,000 books in its collection and organizes the rooms according to the Dewey Decimal System. According to the article, “the hotel has been enthusiastically welcomed by readers, writers, artists and librarians (Libraries Room 1000.001). From the hefty art books shelved in mahogany in the sleek lobby to the delicate volumes of verse in the Poetry Garden on the 14th-floor indoor terrace, the place is a bibliophile’s dream.”
The most popular room request? 800.001, the Erotic Literature room.

    On the cheap…
    If the Library Hotel is to much for your budget you might want to consider the Library Bar in NYC.

    The Library Bar had a website but when I just checked it their domain is not working. Looks like they may not have paid their web address renewal. Hopefully the website is not gone because the bar is gone.

    If you are in New Mexico you might want to try this Library Bar and Grill.

    Library Bar and Grill in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Make sure you click on the “all sizes” button so you can see the picture enlarged so you can read the titles of the books on the roof.
