Walk up to this hotel and you'll find quotes from famous writers inscribed on the sidewalk. Each floor is named after a category of the Dewey decimal system beloved of libraries world-side and rooms on each floor have appropriate literary themes. Over 6,000 books find homes here. American sex-expert Dr Ruth curated the artwork and books in the Love Room (Room 1100.006) which also features the hotel's private terrace.  We also like room 800.001(Erotic Litrature). Vera Wang helped choose books for the Fashion Room.  Avoid  Room 500.001 unless mathematics really turn you on.

Don't miss cocktails in The Reading Room of an evening or a visit to the New York Public Library close by.
