The accommodations at Casablanca Hotel by Library Hotel Collection include a flat-screen cable TV, DVD player and iPod docking station. A bathrobe and slippers are supplied in the en suite bathroom.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Casablanca hotel. Every single hotel staff member was so friendly and helpful. The location was great, so close to Times Square but the hotel itself was so quiet, like a retreat off of the hustle and bustle of Times Square. Convenient to the subway which is right across the road. We took full advantage of the continental breakfast every morning and going down for our pastries, bagels and coffee became part of our daily routine. It’s an old school hotel, we had to get someone up to adjust the heating when we were melting the first night, but we fell in love with its charm.

    An absolutely delicious boutique hotel in an Art Deco stylee in the centre of midtown -- very intelligently designed and appointed, with really good furnishings, linens, upholstery, shower quality. The bar is lovely, if slightly underused; the lobby is generous and comfy; we stayed in a post-pandemic restaurant hiatus -- when that is restored to life, the hotel will I am sure feel like it is operating all turbines.
