The New York Hilton Midtown is the largest hotel in New York City. The hotel is owned by Park Hotels & Resorts and managed by Hilton Worldwide. It has approximately 2,000 rooms and over 150,000 square feet (14,000 m2) of meeting space.

The 47-floor building, north of Rockefeller Center at Sixth Avenue and 53rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, has hosted every U.S. president since John F. Kennedy. The world's first handheld cell phone call was made in 1973 by hotel guest Martin Cooper, an engineer, in front of the hotel. Donald Trump delivered his 2016 United States presidential election victory speech at the hotel.
