Hotels Library Hotel// - This is a commercial web site for a motel located near the New York City Public Library. The floors of the motel are themed by Dewey Number. For example, the third floor is called “Social Sciences”. Books and art pertaining to this subject are located in the rooms on this floor. This quote from the web site is long, but just too good too miss! //“Fashioned from a landmark 1900 brick and terra cotta structure this building has been beautifully restored into a mansion-style hotel of the highest caliber. The Library Hotel is set at the corner of Madison Avenue and 41st. Street near the New York City Public Library and the Pierpont Morgan Library. Mahogany paneling, 60 impeccably appointed themed guest rooms, exquisite art work and wood paneled elevators designed to resemble a cozy gentleman's library and the ambiance of a private club, are just a few of the amenities guests will enjoy here. The Library is a showcase of tasteful design and functionality. Each of the ten guestroom floors is dedicated to one of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System.*”// *Dewey (R), DDC (R) and Dewey Decimal Classification (R) are proprietary trademarks of OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. and are used with permission. // Taken from the web site: www.libraryhotel.com //
