The Library Hotel in New York City is the first hotel ever to offer its guest over 6,000 volumes organized throughout the hotel by the Dewey Decimal System. Each of the 10 guestrooms floors honors one of the 10 categories of the DDC and each of the 60 rooms is uniquely adorned with a collection of books and art exploring a distinctive topic within the category or floor it belongs to.
Awesome. And they even have special rates for Yom Kippur Weekend. (via tulibri)

This sounds like a great place! It’d be a shame though, because I’d travel all the way to New York and never leave the hotel. There are too many comfy reading chairs in the photos.
I wonder who buys and organizes all the books for the hotel? That would be a cool job.

Most of what I remember about past vacations is the books I was reading at the time, so not leaving the hotel wouldn’t make much of a difference for me! (J/k, partially.)

What a wonderful place to stay. I guess the only other place more exciting than that is room 1408!

Hmm… think I’ll have to choose the less exciting option!
