Library Hotel - Dewey Decimal concept

The Library Hotel at 299 Madison Avenue is organized around the Dewey Decimal System: each of its ten guest-room floors is themed to a major Dewey category, and rooms are stocked with books related to those subjects. The hotel includes a multi-level public library and reading rooms with a collection of thousands of titles, making its lodging concept a deliberate fusion of hospitality and bibliographic organization. Opened in 2000, it was developed to celebrate books and literary culture in a Midtown location.
