Celebrating the Biggest Night in Cinema: A Look at Hilton’s History in the Movies

The most glamorous red carpet rolled out this Sunday at the biggest movie event of the year, where the who’s who of Hollywood  gathered to celebrate the year’s performances and if they’re lucky, take a bow (and take home a statue.)

Hilton wants to pause and celebrate their roles in movies and its own part in Hollywood films, by sharing a fun list of some of its own starring roles on the silver screen.

Over the past 100 years, Hilton hotels around the world (both real and imagined) have set the stage for some of Hollywood’s most renowned productions. From movies being filmed almost entirely at a hotel, like “Born Yesterday” shot at Capital Hilton, to a fictitious Hilton hotel set on a space station in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey,” Hilton hotels have offered a unique setting to capture some of the most memorable moments in film.

Below you’ll find a list of movies filmed at hotels throughout the decades that are part of the portfolio or once were, from the iconic Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills to The Drake, A Hilton Hotel, based in Chicago.
