Library Hotel by Library Hotel Collection
299 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, United States AccessLibrary Hotel by Library Hotel Collection
The Library Hotel; one of New Yorks luxury boutique properties; opened on August 7, 2000, after its full conversion from a turn-of-the-century 12-story office building.
The intimate 60-room hotel; located on Library Way at Madison Avenue and 41st Street just steps from the majestic New York Public Library and the Pierpont Morgan Library; was designed to feel more like a private club than a hotel. Befitting its name; each hotel floor and room is classified by a Dewey Decimal Classification? of knowledge. The hotel is home to over 6000 books; each title carefully picked at the Strand Bookstore; which carries the largest collection of used and rare books in NYC. The booked-lined second-floor Reading Room is where guests enjoy refreshments such as cappuccino; coffee; teas; soft drinks; health bars and fresh fruit throughout the day.

Beautiful and unique boutique hotel! Great central location, walking distance to Rockefeller and Central Park. Well appointed, spotless and tastefully decorated room. Staff is top notch, professional, friendly and courteous. Nice lounge with coffee bar (espresso, cappuccino, americano) and snacks available at all times and a nice continental breakfast as well as snacks in the afternoon. I will definately return and highly recommend!

What an amazing experience! From the moment we walked in the door, we truly felt like guests of honor, not distractions. The staff were unanimously helpful, the rooms were very well appointed, the lounge was cozy and consistently stocked with water and other "treats". The rooftop bar was romantic and a great way to end our night. Check out was simple and easy. It was disappointing to have to leave. We'll be back!

A wonderful hotel. Room was well decorated and the size you expect in NYC. Nice breakfast and evening cheese and wine. Extremely helpful staff.

I love boutique hotels and this one surpassed my expectations. Staff catered to my every need and more. Room is on the small side but that's typical of NY hotels.
Location is great and everything you need is close by plus they have a rooftop bar if you fancy a nightcap :)
Breakfast is included which made my business trip much simpler (who wants to go find breakfast before an early morning meeting??). And it was actually good. Don't let the "continental breakfast" put you off, it's far better than you'd assume.
Thank you for making my shory stay amazing. I'll be staying on future business and personal trips.

We had a wonderful stay at the Library Hotel during our honeymoon trip to NYC. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed all the extras they have. The hotel is in the middle of it all in Manhattan but the room was quiet and comfortable. Can't wait to go again!

The rooftop bar at the Library NY is a great little bar. Make sure to come early to get seats. Drinks are unique, but not cheap. Service was excellent in every way.

The rooftop bar (bookcases) is a great atmosphere with both great outdoor and indoor seating with lots of Windows. I would highly recommend it for a relaxed night out.

Great stay at the Library Hotel. We arrived about 8 am after an early morning flight. We received an enthusiastic greeting from the front desk and were invited to enjoy breakfast and use the lounge to relax while we waited for a room to be ready. This hotel feels much like a bed and breakfast. The rooms are cozy and very clean. Breakfast is wonderful. There are snacks, coffee, and tea at all times, as well as a great wine and cheese in the evening. The location is fabulous. We saw two shows and it was a quick 15 minute walk to Broadway. There are great restaurants in the area, and with Grand Central right there, it is easy to get wherever you want! This place is a gem and a definite respite in the busy city! One tip, the entrance to the hotel is on 41st not Madison!
My husband and I have come here twice already and will continue to come back! The staff are super friendly and even the smallest rooms have charm and appeal. They have free coffee , tea, and small snacks all day and a wine and cheese tasting from 5-8 every night. They have a rooftop bar and great costumer service with a convenient location right by Grand central Station. They even gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne for celebrating our anniversary there!
