Book- or Library-themed Bed & Breakfasts?

In 2009 we stayed at the Library Hotel in NYC near NYPL. We liked the idea of staying in a place where rooms were themed with books of different periods. Despite several floors (assigned according to sections of the Dewey Decimal system) and several rooms per floor (each with a specific topic in that section), we had a hard time finding one of their rooms that aligned with one of our many interests, especially the one that caused this trip (research at NYPL on Stratemeyer). I also found the bookcases to be more modern than I'd prefer for this kind of library, both in the individual room we saw and in the common room, etc.

Reading in our local paper (San Diego Union-Tribune) of a Victorian Mansion B&B in Los Alamos, CA with themed rooms. It occurs to me that there are probably some book collecting or library-themed B&Bs that LT members may have visited or be aware of. I did a Google search and noted a couple. One was in Ann Arbor, MI but it was hard to get a sense of how bookish it is. There were also some former library buildings, including at least one Carnegie Library, turned into restaurants or hotels.

What suggestions have you from various locations? Provide links if possible.

Not B&B, but I did eat in a restaurant call The Library in Houghton, Michigan. They had lots of Reader's Digest condensed hardbacks scattered around.

"Readers' Digest condensed"

Not a lot invested there, and noone would miss a copy if it moseyed out the door. The appearance of literacy rather than the reality. Seems closely linked to the Decorator Books thread.

I vaguely recall a bar/restaurant I visited once a long time ago, that had plenty of interesting reading material with shelves and comfortable seating scattered about. I remember the atmosphere better than the cuisine, so that's a plus.

Now before everybody jumps in, may I say that from what I understand it does get quite cold in Michigan.

It can be good to have RDCBs around. They burn well.

The name of the Bookish B&B in Ann Arbor is The Library Bed and Breakfast. Here are some images.. The owner, Joan Knoertzer, is an infrequent snowbird who is a member of the Florida Bibliophile Society. She spends most of the time up in Michigan.

Sadly, this place closed its doors back in July...

Whenever MrsHouseLibrary and I would go college town of San Angelo, Texas to visit her granddaughter, we'd make a weekend of it due to the distance. The granddaughter turned four back in November, so, she was always in bed by 7:30 every night anyway. Our evenings were spent reading in a coffee shop called Baker Street. The coffee was great; the food was excellent (for a coffee house), and they had a room - conservatively, it was 1,200 square feet with maybe a fifteen-foot ceiling. The front wall was glass - the storefront. All the other walls were lined with bookshelves, except where there was a false, yet surprisingly realistic-looking fireplace. The bookcases were filled with 'donor books' (take one, leave one) and a some reference books (must stay in the room), and a few shelves containing decks of cards and games. The room itself was otherwise a collection of comfortable leather couches and coffee tables, and a host of various-sized oak tables and chairs, complete with green-shaded lamps. It was comfortable, warm, inviting place to read, or have a meeting without disturbing others. There is nowhere in San Angelo that comes close to the character this place had.

San Angelo recently opened a beautiful new library, and it has a coffee shop in it - stunning library; cold, dark, metal-seated coffee shop. Alas.

Wow, sounds like San Angelo grew up a bit from when I lived there in the 90s! The highlight then was playing darts at the Lone Wolf Pub!
