Watch: Hilton in the Epstein files
1:14Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
"Hilton" in the files is mostly the hotel brand showing up in routine travel and card-offer paperwork. The clearest items are a set of Hilton Curio Collection booking confirmations for a April 6–8, 2018 stay at the Boulders Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, made in Jeffrey Epstein's name and forwarded by his assistant. Several other hits are unrelated: legal citations to Hilton v. Braunskill, Paris Hilton, and Hilton Head, South Carolina.
The most direct material is a cluster of automated "Curio - A Collection by Hilton Confirmed" emails (confirmation #3393918726) for the Boulders Resort & Spa. The booking was dated October 31, 2017 and updated March 7, 2018. These were forwarded by Lesley Groff, who signs as "Assistant to Jeffrey Epstein". One forward mentions fighting for credit or having Lawrence Krauss's office reimburse the cost. Elsewhere, Hilton appears in American Express statement inserts addressed to Epstein (2004–2005 promotions for Hilton HHonors points and Hilton offers), in event listings (a UJA-Federation event at the Hilton New York), and in a few emails about booking a normal Hilton hotel and conference room for a trip. A large share of the 219 documents are emails (175, including 10 automated newsletters). The 35 non-email records are mostly legal filings, financial statements and travel records, and many of those mention the name only in passing. The archive's own metadata links Hilton to many unrelated names, which reflects the name appearing in common boilerplate and clippings, not a documented relationship.
Key Highlights
- •Hotel booking emails from Hilton's Curio Collection confirm an April 6–8, 2018 stay at the Boulders Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, AZ, with the reservation shown under Jeffrey Epstein's name. They were forwarded by Lesley Groff, his assistant.
- •One forwarded copy includes a note about seeking credit or having Lawrence Krauss's office reimburse the cost, so the trip appears tied to other people's travel arrangements. The booking emails themselves show only a transactional customer relationship, not any dealings with Hilton as a company.
- •Many of the legal-document hits are citations of the court case Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770 (1987), a stay-pending-appeal precedent, plus United States v. Hilton (4th Cir. 2012). These refer to unrelated parties.
- •Some hits are about Paris Hilton: news clippings describe publicist Dan Klores, whose clients included Paris Hilton and Jennifer Lopez, saying Epstein's camp was ready to "get their story out", and a separate article discusses a burglary at her home. These are not the hotel company.
- •Epstein's 2004–2005 American Express statements carry promotional inserts for Hilton HHonors bonus points and Hilton hotel offers. These are mass-mailed card marketing, not evidence of a business tie.
- •A passage in a memoir-style document (HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021145) has its author describe a man she says was "the hotel owner of some large chain in America called 'Hilton'" staying at a cottage near Epstein. She alleges he was lent her for a night's massage. This is one person's uncorroborated account. It gives no first name for the man, and the documents do not establish who he was.
- •Other mentions are incidental: Hilton Head Island, SC, in a news roundup and a résumé, an Omaha Hilton dinner venue, the Atlantic City Hilton name in a sale agreement, a Hilton in Novosibirsk mentioned in a chat, and 2020 Concierge Auctions marketing emails to Epstein's own Yahoo account that mention a Hilton & Hyland executive.
