Eye Candy: 5 Hotels with Stunning Libraries

The best places to hunker down with a book (and a cocktail) around the world.

We take many factors into consideration when booking a hotel. The location needs to be good, the design interesting, the service impeccable. But what amenity hasn’t yet been on our list? A library where you can sink into a plush armchair to read a chapter or two before heading out to dinner. Now, after rounding up the snapshots below of some of the most beautiful hotel libraries around the world, a spectacular library is nonnegotiable.

Would you go on a quietcation? One of this year’s biggest travel trends has us seeking out silence—like the kind you’ll find if you’re in Bali on March 19th for Nyepi. For 24 hours, the island goes quiet in celebration of the Hindu New Year, giving residents and guests space to cleanse negative energy, reflect, and welcome in new beginnings. 📸 Courtesy of Hoshino Resorts #quietcations #traveltrends #luxurytravel #bali

Sometimes, over-the-top trips look like five-star hotels and private jets. Other times, it looks more like this: taking in the stars while on a guided horseback trek across Mongolia’s wild steppes, deserts, and mountains with pelorusx. What’s more your speed? #luxurytravel #travelinspiration #bucketlist #mongolia
