"The Library’s concept, one of New York hostelry’s quirkier, has each floor devoted to one of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System."

"The Library’s public spaces... all help make it a welcome refuge in the heart of the city."

"Apart from the good-looking rooms and appealing public spaces, including a rooftop bar and second-floor book-filled lounge, this hotel, located near Grand Central Terminal, wins points on generosity."

"Bookishly handsome... the staff is hospitable, and the whole property is old-leather-armchair comfortable."
