Library Hotel Collection: Tell us about yourself, how did your passion for travel and hotels begin?

LHC: How did you hear about our hotels and why did you choose to stay with us?
LC: A friend of mine recommended a stay because she also enjoys love of books and reading. It was also centrally located near work and Bryant Park which I wanted to take my son to on that particular trip!
LHC: From your experience in our hotels, what makes the experience with us unique?
LC: While I feel the love of reading is unique, your hotels capture the love of it with sophistication and luxury. The Library hotel offers so many delicacies that sets you far above the competition. A few to mention: the food and drink club room, chocolate turn down with wonderful quotes, and books! So many wonderful books!
LHC: What will you remember most about your stay?
LC: We LOVED the bath tub! I love the vintage inspired modern claw tub. It was perfect for relaxing and unwinding after walking in the city all day.

LHC: Was there anything in our city that surprised you?
LC: New York has always been known for fast-paced and almost stuffy attitudes but the hotel staff presented the exact opposite of that. The entire team was gracious, helpful, and truly loved what they were doing. This created a wonderful experience for my family.
LHC: Did you experience any favorite restaurants during your stay?
LC: My favorite restaurant this time around was a place called Bread & Tulips. It was a very upscale place that truly captured the New York City lifestyle! One must try the appetizers!
Bread and Tulips is located inside our very own, Hotel Giraffe
LHC: Why did you choose to visit our city?
LC: This trip was both for work and recreation!
LHC: Was there anything you recommend as a nearby “must see” for our guests?
LC: Explore Park Avenue and also Broadway Avenue.
LHC: What would you recommend someone do to prepare for a trip to our city?
LC: Pack light. The city has a lot of traffic and walking. Also bring warm clothing, New York runs on the cold side!
LHC: What would you recommend to travelers that they must pack for a trip to our city?
LC: Purchase a laminated city map to help you get around.
LHC: What’s next on your Travel Bucket List?
LC: Personally, I would love to travel internationally!
