We all remember summer reading lists as a kid, but with literary travel on the rise, Loews Hotels & Co thought it was time for adults to “take a page” from our childhood past. Jenna Bush Hager, who has helped bring the book club back into the mainstream, curated a list of books (and other summer picks) exclusively for guests staying at Loews properties this summer. As part of the exclusive summer celebration with TODAY’s Read with Jenna, Jenna Bush Hager’s esteemed book club, guests will have access to a handpicked Summer(fest) Reading List curated by Jenna herself.
As part of the Read with Jenna celebration, guests will enjoy the convenience of purchasing books through Shop TODAY, providing the flexibility to stock up in advance or acquire ebooks and audiobooks during their stay. This initiative, which will include additional touch points, including curated kids’ reading lists and access to Jenna’s summer travel picks, aims to encourage exploration both within and beyond hotel walls.
And, as always, poolside relaxation and reading days are never complete without the best seasonal libations – preferably Instagramable! Continuing Loews’ Free Spirited by Loews Hotels’ programming, which launched this year, guests can enjoy craft beverages focusing on locally sourced ingredients and unique flavor combinations sans-booze. Using the same care, attention to detail, and local flavors guests know and love, guests will enjoy access to a variety of free-spirited and low-spirited creations with seasonal ingredients.
