Located in downtown Baton Rouge along the Mississippi River, the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center sits just two blocks from Louisiana’s Old State Capitol and one mile from the USS KIDD Veterans Museum.

Originally built in the 1920s as the Heidelberg Hotel, the property played a unique role in Louisiana history — even serving as the temporary state capitol during a political dispute in 1931. A notable feature is its secret underground tunnel to the former King Hotel, now used as a distinctive dining space. After a $70 million renovation in 2006, the historic hotel reopened as the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center, blending modern amenities with its rich past.
