Hilton expands ‘It Matters Where You Stay’ campaign with Deepika Padukone

July 9, 2026

Singapore — Hilton has unveiled the next chapter of its global campaign with brand ambassador Deepika Padukone, reinforcing the role of hospitality in helping travellers feel comfortable, confident, and free to be themselves while away from home.

Rolling out across social, digital and outdoor channels, the new campaign builds on Hilton’s  record-breaking ‘It Matters Where You Stay’ debut in 2025, which generated more than 11 billion views across social and digital platforms. 

The latest instalment shifts the focus from destinations to the importance of the stay itself, highlighting how thoughtful hospitality enhances every travel experience.

Filmed at Conrad Bengaluru, the campaign explores how Hilton’s team members, hotel spaces, technology and Hilton Honors loyalty programme work together to create a seamless guest experience. 

By removing everyday travel friction, the campaign positions Hilton as a trusted support system that allows guests to focus on what matters most.

Throughout the campaign, Deepika Padukone reveals a more spontaneous and expressive side of herself, reflecting the confidence and ease that comes from feeling genuinely looked after while travelling.

The campaign comes to life through a series of films and creative content centred on dining, wellness, loyalty and personalised service. Together, they reinforce Hilton’s belief that great hospitality goes beyond accommodation to create meaningful travel experiences.

To strengthen the campaign’s cultural appeal, Hilton collaborated with GRAMMY Award-winning director Nadia Marquard Otzen, choreographer Shay Latukolan, and music producer Mikey McCleary, combining movement, music and storytelling into an entertainment-led creative platform.

Mark Weinstein, Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Luxury Brands at Hilton, shared, “When travel takes people from their routines, the Stay becomes even more important. Our Team Members ensure everything is taken care of, giving guests the comfort and confidence to focus on what truly matters, turning everyday moments into expressions of confidence and playfulness.” 

“Deepika brings that feeling to life beautifully in this campaign and captures the ease that comes when everything around you simply works,” added Weinstein.

The campaign also supports Hilton’s continued expansion across India, where the company aims to grow its portfolio to 400 operating hotels in the coming years. 

By showcasing modern hospitality through relatable storytelling, Hilton continues to position itself as a brand that understands the evolving expectations of today’s travellers.
