Can't you all see me here?

This is why I love Samantha Brown. She shows me excellent hotels all the time, but today she did an entire show on the best hotel ever: the Library Hotel in NYC. That hotel now tops my list of places to stay at some point in my life. Here's info from their website about how they have the place organized:

"The Library Hotel in New York City is the first hotel ever to offer its guests over 6,000 volumes organized throughout the hotel by the Dewey Decimal System. Each of the 10 guestrooms floors honors one of the 10 categories of the DDC and each of the 60 rooms is uniquely adorned with a collection of books and art exploring a distinctive topic within the category or floor it belongs to."

They have rooms themed around fairy tales (800.005), logic (1100.001), biography (900.006), economics (300.003), and classic lit (800.002). They have a Poetry Garden, Writer's Den, Reading Room, and their lounge sells cocktails called the Great Gatsby and the Capote. I don't know how I didn't already know about this place, but I must go there. As soon as possible.
