Partnering with Bedside Reading, a number of distinguished hotels now include complimentary books with guest stays. Luxury properties such as The Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, Acqualina Resort and Spa in Florida, Hotel Casa Del Mar and Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, and Mandarin Oriental locations in New York and Washington, D.C., participate in the Bedside Reading program. Guests at these hotels can enjoy a curated selection of bestselling and award-winning American novels during their visit.
Guests are encouraged to read while they stay and, if they wish, take the book home. The program’s no-strings approach makes it easy to unplug and unwind with a physical book rather than screen-based entertainment.
In an era of abundant digital content, many people find it hard to keep reading physical books. By putting quality titles directly in guests’ hands, the program gives hesitant readers a low-effort way to rediscover print, while frequent travelers can leave bulky paperbacks at home and still enjoy great reading material.
Updated monthly, the collection rotates with new and binge-worthy novels suitable for a variety of guests — business travelers looking for downtime reading, families relaxing by the beach, or solo visitors winding down with a book before bed. The rotating selection keeps the bedside offerings fresh and gives returning guests a chance to pick up something new each stay.
