Design of this hotel is inspired by the Dewey Decimal system , with each floor devoted to one Dewey category. There's an ancient languages room on the 4th floor and a dinosaurs room on the 5th. Read more

My favorite hotel in the world! Rooms are organized by the Dewey Decimal System , and all set up with different categories of books . Gorgeous rooftop bar , lovely reading room - just perfect!

Andrea Hong

If god forbid you find yourself in midtown on a beautiful day, the rooftop here is lovely. Great cocktails , couches to park on, and some covered sections that still let you bask in the sun.

Jetset Extra

Themed hotels might be big things now, but this one pulls out all the stops. I got a kick out of the placards near the doors of all the rooms, which hearken back to the Dewey Decimal System . Read more

Nadia Carriere

Very comfortable rooms and excellent hotel overall! Try the Madison & Vine restaurant while you are here. The food is fab although on the pricey side.

Sarah Mohr

Great rooftop bar (part of Grand Central's famed bar ), quaint rooms by topic of book , free wine upon check-in and free wine and cheese from 5-8pm!!! Amazing deals!!!

Tracey Temple

Lovely, if small rooms. Great location for sightseeing in NY. Cheaper than many top end hotels ; more boutique and classy .

Andrew Hickey

If possible, ask the front desk for a room facing the NY public library . Not only is the view great, but your window will also give you an uptown & downtown shot of Madison Avenue. Looks great @ night

Nicholas Beck

Each of the 10 guest room floors devoted to 1 of the categories of the Dewey Decimal System , each of the 60 rooms has a set of books devoted to a topic within that category.

Sue Ray

Cocktail quality leaves much to be desired, but the setting makes up for it.

Pricey .... tuna could be best.... martini is perfect.

Hotel Tonight

Second-floor reading room , open 24/7, boasts well-stocked shelves and plenty of stimulating conversation.

Kristen Moyer

Get a room facing the central library . The front desk will likely offer you a bottle of prosecco upon check in.

Try the books ; they're delicious.

Brian Yamada

Down the street from the VML NY office . Again, have not been there enough to really give tips. It's a rooftop for this building, but not the tallest in the area by any means.

Décoration stimulante.
