Cool Place to Stay in New York

Filed under: General — Neil Aitken @ 11:38 pm

Next time I’m in New York, I want to stay here. At least for a night. Probably in 800.003 — Poetry.

The Library Hotel in New York City is the first hotel ever to offer its guest over 6,000 volumes organized throughout the hotel by the Dewey Decimal System.* Each of the 10 guestrooms floors honors one of the 10 categories of the DDC and each of the 60 rooms is uniquely adorned with a collection of books and art exploring a distinctive topic within the category or floor it belongs to.

Nothing says bookworm like staying at the Library Hotel. Of course true diehards would argue that the hotel should be organized according to the Library of Congress filing system — but that would just be silly.

    You’ll need to do two nights, one on the 800 floor for you, and one on the 900 floor for your father

    LOLOLOLOL!!! This is hysterical, because there’s no way the truly bookish could ever afford to stay there. Ever.
