5 Bookish-Themed Hotels For Every Book Lover’s Next Travel Destination
They say it’s all about the journey, not the destination. While that is typically true, that doesn’t stop amazing destinations from being out there! This summer, while you are thinking about some vacation spots or as you start planning your fall reading retreats, consider these bookish themed hotels.
The Book House Hotel, West Chester and Kennett Square, PA
First is the Book House Hotel. With two locations in eastern Pennsylvania, this is a must-visit destination! Both are located within two hours from Philadelphia, PA, so there will be plenty of activities to see and do — not so far away. However, if you want to stay inside and read, that is perfectly acceptable. And with over 4,000 books on the premises, you will have tons of options to choose from.
Hotel Sylvia, Newport, OR
Next is the Hotel Sylvia in Newport, OR. Located right along the coast, this hotel is the perfect place to dive into your beach reads. This glorious hotel is owned by Sylvia Beach, the founder of the Shakespeare and Company bookstore located in Paris, France. Hotel Sylvia has 22 literary and author themed rooms that are gorgeously decorated for comfort and relaxation.
Library Hotel, New York, NY
If you desire a city vibe, the Library Hotel in New York City is the perfect destination. Located in Midtown Manhattan, this hotel has 10 floors, each based on the Dewey Decimal system, including languages, literature, history, religion, and more. The hotel houses over 6,000 books along with a restaurant and lounge.
The Seelbach Hilton, Louisville, KY
Need to use your hotel points? Check out the Seelbach Hilton in Louisville, KY. Their suites will have you feeling like you are living the luxurious life, especially their brand new Gatsby suite. This gorgeous suite fit for Mr. Gatsby himself will have you wanting to drink champagne, cut your hair into a bob, and cut a rug.
Pacific Inn Motel, Forks, WA
Finally, “hold on tight spider monkey.” If you were a Twilight super fan in the 2000s (or now, we don’t judge), you will want to check out the Pacific Inn Motel in none other than Forks, WA. While most rooms are standard motel rooms, you will definitely want to book the Twilight-themed rooms. This experience will be like none other and will have you singing “Hoa Hoa Hoa” during your whole stay.
