This New York destination is equal parts library and boutique hotel, perfect for avid readers, literary buffs, or simply those looking for a unique stay in the Big Apple.

With 13 different subway lines within blocks of the hotel, it’s easy to get just about anywhere in the city, but with destinations like the Rockefeller Center and Times Square only a 15-minute walk away, there’s plenty to entertain in the immediate vicinity as well.

Schwarzman Building with the beautiful Rose Main Reading Room, and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, which has a rooftop terrace overlooking 5th Avenue. While the library may close, the Library Hotel does not.
