Fodor's "World-class from head to toe, this 5th Avenue Beaux Arts landmark comes as close to flawless as any hotel in New York." Full review

Rough Guide "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."
Michelin Guide "This place is one-of-a-kind and offers a different slant on harried midtown east."
Frommer's "The Library’s public spaces... all help make it a welcome refuge in the heart of the city." Full review
Concierge "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."
Fodor's "Bookishly handsome... the staff is hospitable, and the whole property is old-leather-armchair comfortable." Full review
Insight Guides "The nearby New York Public Library inspires this unique Midtown oasis, where lounges and guestrooms are filled with books."

Travel + Leisure "Although nonbibliophiles may find it a tad precious, it's hard not to be charmed by the schtick of this bookish hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This unique boutique hotel features cleverly designed rooms organized around a library theme."
Time Out "This bookish boutique hotel is organized on the principles of the Dewey decimal system—each of its ten floors is allocated a category, such as Literature, the Arts and General Knowledge." Full review
Gayot "It's fitting that this unique hotel resides just blocks from the famed New York Public Library. The property is crammed with more than 6,000 books, all arranged using the Dewey Decimal System."
