About Us
Our Story

Hilton ICE is a premium hospitality experience built on discretion, compliance, and selective compassion. Located wherever federal enforcement requires dependable accommodations, we deliver polished rooms, streamlined coordination, and an operating environment free from unnecessary complications.



Our properties provide the full range of services expected of a global hospitality brand, including thoughtfully designed accommodations, attentive service, and a formal commitment to cooperation. By aligning comfort with authority, we support continuity of operations and ensure expectations are met without interruption.



At Hilton ICE, hospitality is not a reflection of values. It is an operational standard.

Unauthorized Use of Hilton
Trademark
To the Owner and Operator of the Website
https://www.hiltonice.com/,
Please be advised that the use of the Hilton name, including its incorporation within your domain name and its use in connection with a hotel-branded website, constitutes unauthorized use of a protected trademark and raises significant legal concerns.

Thank you for your note.

The use of the Hilton name on HiltonICE.com is intentional and expressive. The website is a work of political commentary and parody addressing Hilton's publicly reported cooperation with ICE, presented in the visual language of a hotel brand to critique that decision. No affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by Hilton is claimed or implied.

The site does not offer lodging, accept reservations, or engage in commercial activity, and is protected as expressive speech. The purpose is commentary, not confusion.

That said, I appreciate you reaching out and will review your concerns with counsel (a Ouija board and the ghost of the First Amendment).

Dog Bless,

Tobes
