This boutique hotel is located in the center of New York City on Madison Avenue and 41st Street. The hotel is designed just like a library. This is a home for more than 6,000 books, which is the [largest collection of rare book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-billyotheque) in New York City. Each floor is named from Dewey Decimal System e.g. Social Science, Language, Math and Science, Technology, and so forth.

**Implications** - With many businesses largely offering the same types of products and goods, corporations need to differentiate themselves through novel ideas. The [hotel and hospitality industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-dripdrop) accomplishes this by [incorporating themes into their businesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elphaba-and-glindathemed-suites). Corporations in other industries can follow suit and craft their businesses around kitschy concepts.
