The Library Hotel, a unique boutique in Midtown, is the perfect place to stay when in Manhattan. Aptly named for its proximity to the iconic New York Public Library but also because of the impressive collection of over 6,000 books for guests to peruse. The hotel is cleverly themed with each floor representing a different Dewey Decimal System classification. The theming doesn’t stop there, however, as each room has a collection of books that represents the classification. It is beautifully executed theming. Learn more about the Library Hotel, from Wandering But Not Lost, HERE on Huffington Post. Below you’ll see how the old card catalogue shook out and how each floor and room are classified.
