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.

Scenes from an unforgettable trip to Jalisco, where we wandered the historic streets of Guadalajara, adventured into the heart of the Mexican Highlands to visit the birthplace of tequila, and immersed ourselves in the delicious flavors of the Jalisco interior.

There are lots of reasons to revisit the newly reopened waldorfnyc (which was closed for a top-to-bottom renovation for the past eight years), but a seat at the original Peacock Alley bar may be what gets us to book our reservation. The iconic cocktail lounge, once a favorite of Frank Sinatra, Elisabeth Taylor, and Cole Porter, is back and more glamorous than ever. Meet you there for a drink?
