Dorchester Collection’s iconic British hotel, The Dorchester will be the first and most fitting location to read the new James Bond book on publication day, Thursday September 26, 2013, and will host a book reading by William Boyd on Saturday September 28, 2013.

The Dorchester is the setting for the opening scene of new James Bond book by international bestselling author William Boyd, in which 007 is described as treating himself to a 45th birthday breakfast in 1969.

From Thursday, September 26th, guests quoting ‘Solo’ while making a breakfast reservation will receive a copy of the book or can choose to listen to the audio version read by British actor Dominic West on an iPod over breakfast.

Creating the perfect environment by evoking the time the novel is set; restaurant guests will also have the option of listening to hits from the 60’s on an iPod, be given a copy of a national newspaper and the menu from 1969, and will be served their breakfast silver service in keeping with the 60’s.

Once a week, a table will be chosen at random to be charged the Grill Menu’s 1969 price, a sum just short of £2 (approximately $2.70 USD).

On Saturday September 28th, a special event will take place at The Grill at The Dorchester during which William Boyd will read from the first chapter of Solo, share his experience of writing the book, and sign copies for guests.

Further evocative narrative will be added to this unique event with vintage cars from the 1960’s parked in front of the hotel and characters dressed in 60’s outfits. Optional dress code for guests: swinging 60’s tickets priced at £69(approximately $91.96 USD).
