10 Beautiful Hotel Libraries Around the World - AFAR

"The library at Carlisle Bay in Antigua is lit by fiber-optic mood lighting that changes depending on the time of day: a peaceful blue in the early morning, vibrant green at sunset, deep violet in the evening. The colors blend nicely with the sea, sky, and Caribbean sunsets. Enjoy the library’s cushy, comfy furniture, as well as computers and printers with free Wi-Fi. The collection is always changing; in addition to a large permanent collection that includes Hemingway, Melville, and Jay McInerney, there’s a give-and-take program—leave a book, take a book—so you can swap whatever you read on the plane for something new to for the flight home." - Diana Spechler
