Kell Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Ever lamented the fact that hotels and guest houses often have no better reading material than a wilting Bella or an aged National Geographic? Then despair no longer - there's a bookable bookish place to stay in New York City - truly a city of culture! Over 6,000 books, all logged using the Dewey Decimal system for easy location, all available for guests to read at their whim. What more could your average bookworm ask? Of course, if I ever went there, I might never leave the hotel, and miss out on all the other joys of New York, but it might be worth the risk! Check out (or should that be "check into"?) the Library Hotel. Quote
Janet Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 What a great idea, although as you said, it might be difficult to get out and look at the sights with all that temptation in the way! Quote
Freewheeling Andy Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Turns out I might be in New York on Thursday, but I'll probably stay wednesday night out somewhere in Jersey Hell, and Thursday night will be many miles across, in Rhode Island. Quote
Liz Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I think I just want to live in that building. That is a fab place! Quote
Suzanna Addison Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Lush and comfortable. Perfect holiday for an agoraphobic ... at least I can say I read in New York! I've reached my 500TH POST!!!!! Woo hoo! Quote
Chimera Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I LOVE those small bookshelves they have everywhere... very well designed and accessible. Michelle, could we maybe organise a BCF reunion there? Sponsorised by the hotel since we'd make so much publicity for them ? Quote
Nollaig Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Awh man I would love that. If I ever have money, I am so there. Quote
Echo Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I MUST go there. I MUST! We have a friend living in New York that BF wants to visit sometime....even if we couldn't afford to stay at the Library Hotel, I'm going to make sure we visit. Quote
Peacefield Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Wow this place looks amazing! I haven't been to New York in quite a few years so I think I need to go back! I would love to stay a weekend on the 7th 'Arts' floor in one of the paintings rooms . Then another week somewhere cheap so I could take in all the other lovely sites of NYC. Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 It does look great Although too expensive for me to every venture to New York Quote
SweetiiPie85 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 It looks amazing I would love to go there. Quote
Inver Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 So when do we all book in there for a weekend break Quote
Michelle Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 So when do we all book in there for a weekend break Are you paying?! Quote
Inver Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Did I not tell you I won the lottery Michelle :lol: Quote
BookJumper Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Yikes, that's expensive! I think I'll just pack my sleeping bag and seek sanctuary on the floorboards of the Shakespeare & Co. bookshop, Paris. Quote
beef Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 you know, if we got organized we could break in and hold them to ransom. Quote
