About Ultimate Library

Based in Oxford UK, the Ultimate Library team have many years specialist bookselling and library supply experience in UK, America and around the world. We are dedicated to building bespoke book and film collections for hotels, chalets, villas and other private residences around the world. We are the only specialist supplier to this market sector worldwide.

As frequent travellers and bibliophiles, we have always enjoyed reading about the places we visit and reading those books that best capture the sense of place, whether fiction, traveller's tales or even poetry. Reading great books has always been an integral part of every holiday we have been on. But we have always been dismayed by the poor quality of reading material offered in hotels and have never understood why. We set up The Ultimate Library in 2007 to address this issue with the following objectives:

• To significantly improve the quality of reading material in hotels
• To provide a simple one-stop-shop service to make it easy for hotels to buy
• To make it a cost effective process for both parties

We work with a network of leading travel writers, frequent travellers and bibliophiles to put together collections of books that we think will enhance travellers' understanding of their surroundings; we have asked the advice of leading hoteliers and reviewers, to design a service that is simple and easy to use.
