This holiday season, Hilton and Universal Pictures invite travelers, fans and movie lovers alike to experience the magic of Oz with a spectacular, spellbinding suite at New York Hilton Midtown, where they can ‘Stay Like’ Wicked in celebration of the upcoming film’s release. With Universal Pictures’ new cinematic event arriving in theaters on Nov. 22, guests can enter the world of Wicked with a stay crafted to bring the magic of the film to life.
Setting the Scene
Fans can book an enchanted New York City getaway between Nov. 21 and Jan. 26, 2025. Whether planning to arrive via bubble or broom, guests can step into this wickedly beautiful suite at New York Hilton Midtown that takes them on a journey along the yellow brick road. An enchanting entrance will delight guests upon arrival, featuring Emerald City-inspired wallpaper and a custom-designed door, evoking the magic of Wicked. A custom entry portal transports guests to a sophisticated living area styled after the Wizard’s Throne Room and the art deco aesthetic of the Land of Oz with no tulip left unturned, from the cozy beverage bar to the gilded green accents throughout.
Once inside the suite’s bedroom, pink goes good with green as guests are surrounded by fantastical décor inspired by the film’s central characters, Elphaba and Glinda. In the film, their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Elphaba’s side takes cues from Shiz University’s enchanted forest, positively green and moody, with tree branches twisting around the headboard and piles of enchantment books. Glinda’s side is a perfectly pink wonderland with custom wallpaper featuring a design straight from the movie and a cherry blossom tree canopy over the comfortable Hilton Serenity mattress.
