About this campground
The Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center, built in 1927 and a member of Historic Hotels of America® since 2015 was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Historic Hotels of America is the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation® for recognizing and celebrating the finest historic hotels across America. The Hilton Capitol Center once again stands proud as it did when it was originally constructed in 1927 and called home by Huey Long. In a state where every man is a king and in a building where the past becomes the present, the hotel blends both history and elegance. The historic Heidelberg and Capitol House Hotel have been fully restored to their former state of grandeur with over $70 million in renovations. Overlooking the beautiful Mississippi River and located in picturesque downtown Baton Rouge, the hotel is adjacent to the Shaw Center and the River Center Convention Center.
