Silent Reading Parties

SILENT READING PARTY: WEDNESDAY EVENINGS (7:30PM - 9:30PM)

7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. | TICKETS 

The reading party makes for a romantic date night, a relaxing night out with friends, or a fun solo activity in the city. Bring whatever you feel like reading (a book, a magazine, a newspaper) and read it, silently, to yourself, while resident musician Paul Matthew Moore plays exquisitely relaxing piano music. There is also a Zoom version of this party that happens every week. On the first Wednesday of the month, the Zoom party will be a live broadcast of the party from the Fireside Room. Now you can reserve your spot in advance. No more waiting in line, hoping you get in, however, you must purchase a ticket in advance (links below). Note: there is a $20 food or drink minimum per person, which is not included in the reservation fee. The reservation fee benefits the organizers of this party; your food and drink purchases help our staff and help us continue to host the Silent Reading Party, which has taken place at Hotel Sorrento since 2009. PURCHASE TICKETS HERE

SILENT READING PARTY: Satruday Brunches (12:30PM - 2:30PM)

12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. | TICKETS

Whenever there's a reading party, the Fireside Room at Hotel Sorrento goes quiet and fills with people. You bring whatever you feel like reading and read it silently, to yourself, while Paul Matthew Moore plays exquisitely relaxing piano music and servers bring you food and drinks.

Note:

• You must be 21+ to attend this party, as it takes place in a room with a bar.
• There is a $20 food or drink minimum per person, which is not included in the reservation fee. The full brunch menu of the Sorrento's restaurant STELLA is available during this party.

The reading party makes for a relaxing time with friends, a romantic date, or a fun solo activity in the city. 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.
