Silent Reading Parties

SILENT READING PARTY: WEDNESDAYS & SUNDAYS

Wednesdays 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. | TICKETS 

Sundays 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. | TICKETS 

The Silent Reading Party makes for a romantic date, a fun solo activity in the city, or a group outing with friends that makes you feel like you've been transported to the 19th century. 

You bring whatever you feel like reading and read it—silently, to yourself—while Paul Matthew Moore performs live music on the baby grand piano in the Fireside Room.

While you read and listen to music and look at the fire, the Sorrento's servers bring you food and drinks.

 

Note:

  • There is a $25 minimum on food & drink per person, which is not included in the reservation fee. The lunch menu of the Sorrento's restaurant STELLA is available during this party.
  • You must be 21+ to attend this party, as it takes place in a room with a bar.

The Silent Reading Party has been replicated around the world — from San Francisco to Brooklyn, from Nigeria to Australia — but we started it in Seattle, and we do it best.

Good Morning America host, Charlie Gibson, takes a look at Silent Reading Parties, starting where it all began: Christopher Frizzelle at the Hotel Sorrento!
