Get ready to experience the magic of Oz like never before with Hilton’s new “Stay Like Wicked” immersive suite at New York Hilton Midtown, celebrating the upcoming release of ‘Wicked‘, Universal Pictures’ highly anticipated film, hitting theaters on November 22, 2024. This holiday season, Hilton and Universal Pictures invite fans and movie lovers to enter the Land of Oz for a spellbinding stay filled with magic, whimsy, and enchantment.
A Suite That Brings the Land of Oz to Life
From now through January 5, 2025, fans can book a stay in the exclusive ‘Stay Like Wicked’ suite, which is designed to transport them right into the fantastical world of ‘Wicked‘. The suite’s transformation begins the moment guests step into the hotel, with an entrance inspired by Emerald City, complete with custom wallpaper and a specially designed door. As they step inside, guests are greeted by a living area styled after the Wizard’s Throne Room, showcasing art deco elements and gilded green accents—bringing the aesthetic of Oz right into the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
An Enchanting Bedroom with a Magical Twist
The suite’s bedroom is divided into two magical worlds: one for Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and one for Glinda, the Good Witch. Elphaba’s side features a moody, green-hued setting inspired by Shiz University’s enchanted forest, complete with twisting tree branches and piles of mystical books. Meanwhile, Glinda’s side is a dreamy, pink wonderland with a cherry blossom tree canopy over the Hilton Serenity mattress and custom wallpaper straight from the ‘Wicked’ movie.
“It’s the perfect way for fans to step into the world of ‘Wicked’, fully immersing themselves in the magic of this unforgettable story,” said Chris Silcock, President of Global Brands and Commercial Services at Hilton. “This collaboration blends the charm of the ‘Wicked’ movie with Hilton’s signature hospitality, offering an experience that goes beyond the room itself.”
A Magical Stay with Surprises Around Every Corner
But the magic doesn’t stop at the décor. Throughout their stay, guests will be treated to a variety of enchanting surprises designed to capture the spirit of the film. A hidden beverage bar, tucked away behind a custom-built bookshelf inspired by Oz, will serve signature green and pink cocktails inspired by Elphaba and Glinda. Guests can also indulge in a bespoke in-room happy hour, complete with magical themed drinks, and start their mornings with a mystical balloon delivery carrying delicious breakfast pastries.
As part of the magical experience, up to four guests can stay in the 625-square-foot suite, which also includes access to the hotel’s Executive Lounge offering light bites. The stay also includes ‘Wicked’ takeaways, such as a whimsical backpack from the ‘Wicked’ x Béis luggage collection, ‘Wicked’-inspired Beekman 1802 pampering products, and an OPI x ‘Wicked’ nail polish collection. Younger fans will also enjoy special treats, while everyone can head to the movies with Fandango tickets to see ‘Wicked’ on the big screen.
“We’re so excited to offer this once-in-a-lifetime experience to fans visiting New York Hilton Midtown,” said Mark Sanders, General Manager of New York Hilton Midtown. “This suite brings the magic of ‘Wicked’ right off the screen and into our hotel, creating an immersive experience that fans will never forget.”
