ABOUT THE LIBRARY COLLECTION

The Library Hotel Collection prides itself on the reputation of being the “World’s Kindest Hoteliers” which is why it was recognized in ReviewPro’s 2016 and 2015 Top Luxury Hotel & Brand Report as having the highest guest satisfaction rating of any luxury hotel brand in the world. TripAdvisor also consistently honours the brand for some of the highest guest satisfaction ratings out of the site’s 1.1 million accommodations – including naming the musically-inspired Aria Hotel Budapest as “#1 Hotel in the World” in the 2017 Travelers’ Choice Awards. Each of the hotels in the Library Hotel Collection is reflective of the creative vision of Henry Kallan, named 2016 “Hotelier of the Year” by the Boutique Hotel and Lodging Association. Library Hotel is a book lover’s paradise with 6,000 books organized throughout the hotel, based on the Dewey Decimal System. Hotel Elysée, home of the renowned Monkey Bar, is inspired by the elegance of a French country estate. Inspired by the romance of the Hollywood classic, Casablanca Hotel Times Square is an oasis of hospitality in the center of the Broadway Theater District, and Hotel Giraffe is a chic, softly contemporary property in the NoMad/Flatiron District – both were named “Top Hotels in the US” by TripAdvisor in 2016 and 2017.
