Fans of “Wicked” can enjoy the ‘Stay Like’ Wicked suite at the New York Hilton Midtown this holiday season.
Hilton and Universal Pictures have united to create a suite in honor of the “Wicked” franchise. This special suite invites fans to experience the magic of Oz at the New York Hilton Midtown. Guests can ‘Stay Like’ Wicked to celebrate the upcoming film’s release. With Universal Pictures’ new cinematic event, “Wicked,” arriving in theaters on Nov. 22, 2024, guests can enter that world with accommodations witch-crafted just for them.
Starting today, fans can book an enchanted New York City getaway between Nov. 21 and Jan. 5, 2025. This suite will take visitors on a journey along the yellow brick road. An enchanting entrance will set the scene for guests upon arrival. It features Emerald City-inspired wallpaper and a custom-designed door, evoking the magic of “Wicked.” Furthermore, a custom entry portal brings guests into a sophisticated living area. This area is styled after the Wizard’s Throne Room and the Land of Oz.
Inside the ‘Stay Like’ Wicked Suite
This specially designed suite, Hilton and Universe, pairs pink with green, as fans of “Wicked” would expect. The décor draws inspiration from the movie’s two main characters, Elphaba and Glinda. Elphaba’s side is inspired by Shiz University’s enchanted forest. It is green and moody. Tree branches twist around the headboard. There are piles of enchantment books. Glinda’s side displays a stereotypical pink fantasy land with custom wallpaper that looks straight from the movie. A cherry blossom tree canopy sits above the bed mattress.
“We look forward to welcoming fans to the Land of Oz in our ‘Stay Like’ Wicked suite, where they can fully immerse themselves in the powerful story of Universal Pictures’ Wicked,” said Chris Silcock, president, Global Brands and Commercial Services, Hilton. “This collaboration seamlessly blends the magic of the highly anticipated film with our signature Hilton hospitality to create an unparalleled experience for our guests that goes beyond the room itself. We’re always looking for meaningful ways to engage our Hilton Honors members and new-to-Hilton travelers, and this opportunity allows them to be a part of one of this year’s biggest cultural moments while experiencing the best of a Hilton stay.”
What Else Comes with This “Wicked” Suite?
Besides the incredible themed décor, guests booking this suite will experience plenty of other magic touches during their stay. A hidden beverage bar will pop up behind a custom-built bookshelf inspired by the Wizard’s Throne Room and Shiz University. Also, guests can enjoy an in-room happy hour with signature green and pink cocktails inspired by Elphaba and Glinda. Each morning starts with a special delivery from a mystical floating balloon, filled with breakfast pastries and more.
The ’Stay Like’ Wicked suite has bedding for four guests. The 625-square-foot suite also includes access to the hotel’s Executive Lounge, which offers light bites throughout the day. This should help guests as they explore midtown Manhattan.
Guests will have several items to remember their journey down the yellow brick road. They will receive “Wicked” takeaways. The takeaways include a magical backpack from the Wicked x Béis luggage collection. There are also Wicked-inspired Beekman 1802 pampering products. Guests will find the OPI x Wicked nail polish collection, as well as premium Hilton products. Of course, the younger ones will have plenty of special treats with this suite stay.
