Silent Reading Parties in January

Reservations now available for these dates in the Fireside Room

Two Wednesday night dinner parties and one Saturday afternoon brunch party

Good news!! You asked, we listened, and the Sorrento agreed: We can go back to the old reservation system where you choose what type of seat you’d like when you make your reservation.

Plus! By popular demand, the hotel is letting us bring back the Saturday brunch party for a limited time.

These are the first reading party dates for 2026:

• Wednesday, January 7, 6:30-8:30 pm

• Saturday brunch, January 17, 12:30-2:30 pm

• Wednesday , January 21, 6:30-8:30 pm

Each party includes two hours of live piano music by Paul Matthew Moore.

Reservations for the in-person party at Hotel Sorrento are a great gift for the book-lover on your list.
