Library Hotel
$$-$$$, Midtown East
Fodor's Review:
Boutiquey and bookish, this handsome landmark brownstone, built in 1900, gets its inspiration from the New York Public Library. Each of its 10 floors is dedicated to one of the 10 categories of the Dewey Decimal System; undersize modern rooms are stocked with art and books relevant to a subtopic such as erotica, astronomy, or biography -- let your interests guide your room choice. The staff is incredibly hospitable and the whole property is old-leather-armchair comfortable, whether you're unwinding in front of the library fireplace, partaking of the complimentary wine and cheese or continental breakfast, or relaxing in the roof garden.
