I can confirm that his is an absolutely wonderful hotel - I've stayed in it
twice and I would recommend it to nayone. I'm not employed by it, and they
don't pay me for testimonials! It is unfortunately quite expensive, but
then its location is unbeatable - Madison Avenue and 41st St, near the NY
Public Library, from which it took its name and theme. Easy walking
distance along 42nd St to Grand Central Terminal one way and Times Square
the other.

Hello Listers.
A friend forwarded this to me:
>From 'New Scientist', 7 June 2003, 'Feedback' section:
"For bookish readers, the Library Hotel is a novel place to stay in mid-town
New York ( http://www.libraryhotel.com ). The hotel not only offers the
usual plush bathrobes, bottled spring water, hairdryer and complimentary
bath products, but guests can also book their room using the ten major
categories of the Dewey decimal classification system of cataloguing [sic]
library books.
It gives room service a whole new meaning. The rooms on each of the ten
floors contain a collection of art and books relevant to a topic within the
category of the floor it is on. So if you're on the Literature floor you can
choose to specialise in, for example, poetry or the classics, while the Math
and Science floor offers bedtime reading in astronomy, botany or any other
science you fancy. There is even a Love room, though they don't say which
floor this is on.
Could the Library Hotel be the only hotel in the world that is always fully
booked? (Sorry)."
My friend envisages booking the room number for heterosexual activities. I
make no comment, merely pass the thought on...
Geoffrey
