To mark World Book Day on 7^th March, Sheraton Grand London Park Lane will launch the Reese’s Book Club x Sheraton Lobby Library, the third global instalment and debut in Europe, the Middle East and Africa of the exclusive partnership between Sheraton Hotels & Resorts and Reese’s Book Club, part of Candle Media’s Hello Sunshine. This collaboration serves as a cornerstone of the Gatherings by Sheraton programme, which features weekly experiences aimed to connect international guests and locals, inspire them with stories and cultures of communities in the destinations and help them get the most out of their travels.

The Reese’s Book Club x Sheraton Lobby Library is at the heart of this programme, which debuted at Sheraton Grand Los Angeles in October 2023 and followed at Sheraton Centre Toronto in January 2024, bringing hundreds of guests and locals together through a shared love of reading. As part of the experience at each property, all hotel guests can discover the full back catalogue of Reese's Book Club, either by cosying up inside the Lobby Library or purchasing a copy to take home.

Founded by Reese Witherspoon, Reese’s Book Club aims to create deeper connections between the books, authors and readers. With a woman at the centre of each book selected, Sheraton Grand London Park Lane will launch its pop-up just in time to celebrate female authors for International Women’s Day. Throughout the month-long installation, guests and locals can experience a series of ‘gatherings’ including the programme’s signature “Beyond the Page” speaker event on 25^th March. Guests will be treated to an evening with bestselling British author Lucy Foley to share about her new book, The Midnight Feast. Other highlights of the Reese’s Book Club x Sheraton Lobby Library events include:

• Smoothies & Stories, 12^th March (Tue) and 20^th March (Wed), 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
• Books, Bubbles & Bingo, 14^th March (Thu), 5:30 – 7:00 pm
• High Tea & Tales, 18^th March (Mon) and 1^st April (Mon), 4:00 – 6:00 pm

“Sheraton Grand London Park Lane has a long history of bringing people together in the heart of Mayfair,” said Justin Pinchbeck, General Manager. “We’re delighted to be part of this collaboration with Reese’s Book Club, the Internet’s biggest book club, and bring our communities together through a shared love of reading.”

As the most global brand within Marriott’s portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, Sheraton’s new Gatherings by Sheraton program aims to create moments of connection for hotel guests and locals through hosted experiences rooted in the themes of Enrichment, Renewal and Local Stories – from immersing yourself in Hiuwai, the Hawaiian ceremony of Mind, Body, and Spirit renewal as part of a regenerative travel experience at Sheraton Waikiki, and art appreciation and gatherings with a contemporary Kazakh artist and sculptor at Sheraton Astana Hotel, to monthly Jazz and cocktail evenings at Sheraton Amsterdam Airport, and learning about sustainable fishing practices from local fishermen at Sheraton Lima Historic Center, and more.

Sheraton Grand London Park Lane will host the library pop-up until 6^th April 2024. More book club collaborations will be available across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, including Sheraton Grand Krakow, Sheraton Grand Hotel, Dubai, Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel and Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel and Conference Center.
