This stay was beyond our expectations! The staff were the best and tended to any needs we had efficiently and joyfully. This stay was one of the best we’ve ever had. One of the perks we really enjoyed was the Reading Room. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone, but especially book and library enthusiasts. 💜

Fun boutique hotel for book lovers. Around the corner from the Public Library and Grand Central Station- a great walkable location. Each room has a book theme - so ask what topic options you have. General knowledge was fun. 14th floor rooftop bar is awesome. We’ll be back! Highly recommend!
