NYC: Love Room at the Library Hotel
Book lovers, this hotel is for you.
The 6,000 books in the Library Hotel's collection in New York are organized according to the Dewey Decimal system.
Thus, the ten floors of rooms are naturally dedicated to one of the ten major Dewey categories: Social Sciences on the 3rd floor, Mathematics and Sciences on the 5th, Arts on the 7th, Philosophy on the 11th, ... The classification is further refined with, on each floor, the name of a sub-category for each of the six rooms. Mystery, Fairy Tales, Dramatic Literature, Poetry, Classic Fiction, or Erotic Literature for the Literature floor (8th). The books in your room will illustrate its category.
The collection in the Love Room (Room 1100 006 Love, Philosophy floor) was selected by Dr. Ruth. Do you remember this enthusiast's advice?
The Love Room hides, in addition to its collection of books on the philosophy of love, another secret asset, the hotel's only private terrace. Enjoy the panorama of the city and the New York Public Library (NYPL). Lucky you!
A second chance to see the city from above; open to all, a rooftop terrace on the 14th floor of the hotel houses the Poetry Garden, perfect for having a drink, a literature-inspired cocktail.
And to catch your breath in this bustling city, thoughtful gestures await you at every moment of the day: complimentary beverage service at any time, wine and cheese tasting at 5 p.m., a selection of press and magazines, a library of 100 DVDs selected by the American Film Institute, and unlimited access to the New York Sports Club facilities for fitness enthusiasts.
