Get ready to be transported to the enchanting world of Oz! Hilton, in collaboration with Universal Pictures, has unveiled a magical ‘Stay Like’ Wicked suite at the New York Hilton Midtown, offering fans a truly immersive experience ahead of the highly anticipated film adaptation of the iconic Broadway musical. The film, set to hit theaters on November 22, 2024, has already captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, and now, fans can step into the mystical realm of Elphaba and Glinda in a suite specially designed to reflect the film’s enchanting setting and its beloved characters.
This captivating experience, available from November 21, 2024, to January 5, 2025, promises to be unforgettable. Upon arrival, guests will be greeted by an entrance inspired by the Emerald City, featuring a green-themed décor, a custom door, and a magical portal leading into the suite’s art deco-inspired living area. The living area, modeled after the Wizard’s Throne Room from the film, combines luxury and whimsy with touches like a cozy beverage bar and elegant green accents throughout.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. The suite’s bedroom is split into two distinct sides, each representing one of the film’s main characters. Elphaba’s side is dark and moody, with an enchanted forest theme featuring tree branches, green tones, and spell books, while Glinda’s side is a bright pink wonderland with custom wallpaper inspired by the movie, featuring a cherry blossom tree canopy over the Hilton Serenity bed.
Chris Silcock, president of Global Brands and Commercial Services at Hilton, expressed his excitement for the suite, stating, “We are thrilled to offer guests an immersive Wicked experience in one of our flagship properties. This collaboration with Universal Pictures showcases how Hilton brings magic to life while delivering our signature hospitality.”
Guests will be treated to a plethora of magical Wicked-themed surprises throughout their stay. A hidden beverage bar behind a custom-built bookshelf adds to the enchantment, while a unique in-room happy hour features cocktails inspired by Elphaba and Glinda. Mornings will start with a whimsical touch, as breakfast pastries and treats are delivered via a mystical floating balloon. Guests will also have access to the hotel’s Executive Lounge, offering additional light bites during their stay.
To top it all off, guests can take home Wicked memorabilia, including a backpack from the Wicked x Béis collection, pampering products from Beekman 1802, and a Fandango movie ticket to see the film. Mark Sanders, General Manager of New York Hilton Midtown, aptly described the ‘Stay Like’ Wicked suite as “a truly magical space for fans and guests. The suite immerses visitors into the world of Wicked, making their stay unforgettable.”
So, if you’re looking for a truly unique and unforgettable experience, book your stay in the ‘Stay Like’ Wicked suite at the New York Hilton Midtown. This magical escape is the perfect way to celebrate the release of the Wicked film and immerse yourself in the world of Oz.
