The property houses over 6,000 books organized by the Dewey Decimal System, with each of the 10 floors assigned a genre and each room number corresponding to a specific Dewey category. Guests have complimentary 24-hour access to a dedicated Reading Room on the second floor, stocked with snacks, coffee, tea, and soft drinks.

Each room at the Library Hotel is themed according to its Dewey Decimal classification, with a curated selection of books placed inside the room. Rooms include plush bathrobes, slippers, a flat-screen cable TV, and an iPod docking station. Higher-category accommodations like the Junior Suite offer additional living space with a sofa and coffee table.

Dining and Bar

The on-site restaurant Madison & Vine serves American and international cuisine for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. The rooftop bar, Bookmarks Lounge, offers literary-inspired cocktails and city skyline views, with both indoor and outdoor seating on the 14th floor. A Poetry Garden on the terrace provides a quiet outdoor space for cocktails or conversation.
