Christmas 2009 Hotel, How many rooms?

I am currently in talks with the Library Hotel and they do accept groups however, they limit their size to 15-20 rooms. I need to know if it will be necessary to either split the group or if the Library will fit everyone.

So if you are planning on using the group hotel for your pre-cruise stay please post how many rooms you will need and for how many nights.

I realize that as the group grows this may change. The Library does have equally unique sister properties with similar amenities that could be used as "over flow" if needed. I just think that these hotels include so much more amenity wise compared to typical hotels in the area. Their sister property, Hotel Casablanca, is close by and convienent to Radio City and I think would make a good choice for a secondary property. http://www.casablancahotel.com/

Thanks everyone!

I'll just add something as a local - if you're looking for the more "touristy" stuff such as visiting Times Square, going to Toys R Us, the Virgin Megastore, etc then the Casablanca would be a great choice. If you're looking for a more "local" or quiet New York City experience, then select The Library, either way, you can't go wrong both are great boutique hotels!

As always Marina, your local knowledge and tips are greatly appreciated!
For us, it would be a good idea to keep the girls far away from the Toys R Us!!

Nina, for us, it would be two rooms - one for myself and my wife and one for our "kids" (who will be 21 and 22).

Andy, are your "kids" boys or girls? It sounds like we will have quite the little sub group of 20-25 year-olds. Czech Mate has 2 girls and my sister will be there. It might be fun for them to plan their own little event during all of this. Who else is bringing "kids" in this age range?

Nina, we will need just one room and prefer The Library but, we'll take Casablanca should there be an overflow, we're easy

Nina, even though we're local, we'll probably take advantage of one night in the city with you. We live a good 1.5 hour drive away and, given winter weather, I'd rather be in Manhattan and just need to get to Brooklyn rather than trying to get up from the NJ shore - besides, we want to be part of the Radio City and Dinner fun so overnight just makes more sense. And, we'll take either hotel too.

Two rooms for me, one single occupancy and the other double. We'll take either hotel.

My first choice would be The Library but, I'll take either. Two rooms. One double occupancy and one single occupancy.
