The Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center is a historic hotel in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, originally built in 1927 as the Heidelberg Hotel. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The Heidelberg Hotel was a favorite dwelling of Louisiana Governor Huey Long, who had a fourth-floor suite.

Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, Jimmy Carter, Will Rogers, and Fidel Castro were all guests of the hotel.{{Cite web |url=http://www.hiltoncapitolcenter.com/images/stories/pdfs/then-now.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2014-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928232441/http://hiltoncapitolcenter.com/images/stories/pdfs/then-now.pdf |archive-date=2013-09-28 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=82002769}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination Form: Heidelberg Hotel|publisher=National Park Service|author=Ed Reed|date=February 1982|accessdate=May 8, 2018}} With {{NRHP url|id=82002769|photos=y|title=13 photos from 1982}}.
