Miami's Epic Encourages Guests to Read With Wine

Plenty of hotels are pushing books onto guests these days, adding in-room libraries, Kindles or Sony eReaders to their list of amenities. We�re quite fond of reading by the fire or the pool at hotels but book club events, which are also on the rise, sound a little, well, earnest. Unless, of course, wine is involved.

Perhaps that�s why Miami�s Epic Hotel was smart enough to combine their ongoing literary series with their daily guest wine-hour program�and special room rates that make hitting the books totally worth it.

The latest �Epic Wine Hour Presents� author series is set for Thursday, October 15, and will feature Miami-based author Leila Cobo reading from her new novel, Tell Me Something True.

Guests of the hotel have an open invitation to the reading, although RSVPs are required for non-guests since space is limited. (RSVP: 954-765-3636.) Mingling with Cobo after the reading could be interesting not just for book geeks but music fans as well: as an executive at Billboard, Cobo is considered the ultimate Latin music insider, and has written liner notes for Ricky Martin and Shakira.

The �Tell Me Something True� weekend rate will be available for the nights of Thursday, October 15 through Sunday, October 18�starting at $169 a night plus tax for a cityview room. Without the promotion, rooms on the same dates start at $260 a night. Reservations can be made through the hotel�s website�enter TRUE in the rate-code box�or by phone. For every �Tell Me Something True� reservation, Epic will make a $10 donation to the Early Learning Coalition of Miami-Dade/Monroe, which distributes books to kids in the area.
