August 27, 2024In celebration of Disney’s The Lion King on Broadway, Hilton has announced the opening of The Lion King Royal Suite as a continuation of their partnership with Disney Theatrical Group.
Curated by Devin Sparkles Design, the new immersive suite is conveniently located three blocks from Minskoff Theatre, where the magic of The Lion King comes to life on Broadway.
The spacious one-king one-bedroom deluxe suite invites guests to experience the peace and beauty of the Pride Lands. Upon arrival, guests are immediately transported to the Serengeti with details paying homage to Disney’s The Lion King including large woven basket art, plants nodding to the sweeping grass across Africa’s plains, hand-painted Rafiki-inspired patterns that embellish the room’s furnishings and a large Rafiki sketch print framing the suite’s entryway. Guests will encounter fabrics used in the musical displayed on soft goods including rugs, pillows and bedding, with wood touches accenting the space.
Pan-Asian-inspired woven baskets adorn the walls throughout the suite, bird puppets fly from the ceiling and hand-painted patterned chairs provide a soft place for guests to land while taking in framed costume sketches from the musical. In the bathroom, guests will find a lush, vibrant jungle oasis with artificial plants, contrasted by the warm Serengeti elements in the room.
“Each detail of The Lion King’s Royal Suite has been meticulously curated to create a truly one-of-a-kind experience completely inspired by Disney Theatrical Group’s iconic musical,” said Thomas Caska, general manager, Hilton New York Times Square.
He added, “At Hilton New York Times Square, we’re committed to providing guests and families with an innovative stay from check-in to check-out. Whether guests are staying with us to experience either of our two Disney on Broadway suites, witness the magic of the theatre or simply take in all that Times Square has to offer, our property offers a memorable home away from home in the heart of the Big Apple.”
