Prior to arrival any confirmed guest can contact The Dorchester, 45 Park Lane and Coworth Park via Twitter using the hashtag #headoverheels. Once greeted, guests will be shown to their room where a Smythson ‘Head Over Heels’ cross-grain leather flip book awaits them – the perfect accessory to create memorandums of most loved notes; be it captivating views, outstanding food, favoured quotes, stirring literature or memorable travel moments.

The ‘Head Over Heels’ flip book is bound in intrepid red cross-grain leather and inspired by ‘Le Chauffeur’ – the iconic silver pepper pot featured in Smythson’s catalogues from 1909 as an engraved drawing. Beautifully brought to life, the character literally falls in love; tumbling down each page with red love hearts swiftly following him.

Guests can add the perfect personal touch to their books with complimentary personalisation of initials of their choice offered at Smythson’s London, New York and Hong Kong stores.*
