The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Giraffe by Library Hotel Collection

"Prices include complimentary breakfast, afternoon wine and cheese, and a 24hr espresso bar"

"Be sure to take time to relax at the open-air Rooftop Garden bar, which is open for drinks in the warmer months, although the garden is open to guests year-round"

"Comfort and convenience come in the form of amenities such as flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, MP3 docks, Egyptian cotton linens and nightly turndown service"

"Madison Square Park and the Empire State Building, along with the city’s buzziest new restaurants and bars, are within a few blocks, and if you want to get some work done without too many hipsters in the lobby, it does just fine"

"A restaurant two doors down from the hotel offers superb cuisine and potent cocktails with a lounge scene"

"All rooms also have minibars, full-length mirrors, iPod docks and safes"

"The roof garden has a bar and sees lots of weddings, but if there are no events happening, make a point of stopping by for the happy hour in good weather, or just to see the view – there’s plenty of seating, even though it’s a popular spot for locals, too"
