Calling all library-lovers! This literary retreat is designed for you. Home to 6,000+ books, Library Hotel is a love-letter to library culture. Each of its 10 floors is dedicated to a category of the Dewey Decimal System, and the guest rooms are themed after specific book genres. There's even a lobby library, themed bar, and reading garden. If this isn't enough for you, the hotel is located down the street from NYC's flagship library for easy browsing. Just bring yourself; the books are complementary.

Swaying palms, island views and a library? This Thai resort makes for the ultimate beachy book-cation. The Library's beachfront lounges and tree-shaded courtyards make for perfect vacation reading, and with 1,400 books on-site, you won't be running short on material. Once you're ready for a bite, drop by The Page, the appropriately named in-house restaurant. On your reading break, you'll be entertained by the outdoor cinema, jacuzzi spa, and the red pool straight out of a dystopian novel. We love an all-inclusive book resort.
