The Garden Edit

Once Upon a Garden

The season’s most storied evening—July 12 at Hotel Sorrento.

Hotel Sorrento invites you to a summer gathering in its historic courtyard—a hidden corner of the city that has welcomed dignitaries, dreamers, and quiet revolutionaries since 1909.

Step into a century of stories with live jazz, bites that find you, Charlotte Tilbury glam touch-ups, green carpet moments, and garden games tucked between the blooms. As the sun sets, a DJ carries the night into its next chapter.

The limestone walls have held a hundred years of history.
This evening, you’re invited to become part of it.

What to expect (if you know what to expect):

– Your first sip, already waiting
– Bites that find you
– A jazz band weaving melodies that echo the hotel’s past
– Garden games tucked between the blooms: Connect Four, Jenga, ladder ball, and ring toss—designed for lingering, laughter, and just the right amount of mischief
– Golden hour giving way to a DJ-led evening under the stars
– Charlotte Tilbury artists offering green carpet-ready touch-ups
– A guest list so considered, even the roses know their names

Just the right mix of who, where, and when.

Dress Code:
Storybook-worthy, garden editorial with a touch of whimsy.

July 12 | 6 PM | Hotel Sorrento Garden

Note: As Once Upon a Garden is an outdoor experience, we’ve made the decision to move the original date from June 21 to July 12 due to forecasted rain and cooler temperatures.This decision was made to preserve the full experience and magic we’ve thoughtfully envisioned for this evening.
