How To Experience One Of LA’s Top Attractions
It’s the Magic Castle.
While access to The Magic Castle is typically available only to members and invited guests, people staying at participating Hilton hotels can now experience the world-class illusion at this Edwardian-era mansion in Hollywood.
The Magic Castle is one of the world’s most famous magic clubs, THE one in which magicians from around the globe want to perform.
Generally, admission is granted only by invitation (often by the magicians themselves) but now anyone who stays at a participating Los Angeles Hilton can get into this revered venue through a promotion running throughout 2019.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer our guests an exclusive opportunity to engage with a glamorous and significant part of L.A.’s heritage,” said Hilton Destination Marketing Senior Manager Kassi Nopratvarakorn. “The Magic Castle offers an enchanted and unparalleled experience with the mystical arts, eclectic architecture and history and delectable cuisine by famed executive chef Jason Fullilove.”
To take advantage of the Hilton/Magic Castle partnership, book your room at least six weeks in advance through Travel.Hilton.com/MagicCastle. From there, participating Hilton representatives will secure the requested Magic Castle reservations, based on availability. Upon check-in at the hotel, guests will receive their invitation cards which must be remitted upon entry to The Magic Castle.
A mecca of closer-up magic, the Magic Castle has small and intimate rooms in which you sit sometimes just a few rows back from the magicians. The experience includes a welcome by Irma, the self-playing piano that plays just about any tune you request simply by saying the song title out loud.
Located in Hollywood on a hill overlooking Hollywood +Highland, a trip to the Magic Castle also involves dining and you must adhere to the dress code, which for men requires a jacket and tie. And yes, there are bars in the Magic Castle.
Most of the acts take place at night but there are also Saturday and Sunday brunches (21-and-over only).
Per Magic Castle policy, no photos or taking of videos is allowed once inside this magical place.
