Item 1.   Security and Issuer

          The class of equity security to which this statement on
form Schedule 13D relates is the Common Stock, par value $2.50
per share ("Securities"), of  Hilton Hotels Corporation, (the
"Issuer"), a Delaware  corporation, with principal offices
located at 9336 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, California, 
90210.

Item 2.   Identity and Background
          This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mr.
Gabelli") and various entities which he directly or indirectly
controls or for which he acts as chief investment officer.  These
entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker", formerly known as Safety
Railway Services Corporation), Western New Mexico Telephone
Company ("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc. ("Entoleter"), 
Lynch Telecommunications Corporation ("Lynch Telecom"), Lynch
Telephone Corporation ("Lynch Telephone") and Inter-Community
Telephone Company ("Inter-Community") (collectively, "Lynch and
its affiliates"), engage in various aspects of the securities
business, primarily as investment adviser to various institution-
al and individual clients, including registered investment
companies and pension plans, as broker/dealer and as general
partner of various private investment partnerships.  Certain of
these entities may also make investments for their own accounts. 
          The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own
beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a
particular issuer.  Although several of the foregoing persons are
treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting
their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the
holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors
may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13D
or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to
time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive.  In order to avoid any question as to whether their
beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in
order to provide greater investment flexibility and administra-
tive uniformity, these persons have decided to file their benefi-
cial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form
rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide
more expansive disclosure than may be necessary. 
          (a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"),

"Plan"); Gabelli International Limited ("GIL"), Gabelli Interna-
tional II Limited ("GIL II"), Gabelli International Gold Fund

          For information required by instruction C to Schedule

foregoing entities and other related persons (collectively,
"Covered Persons"), reference is made to Schedule I annexed
hereto and incorporated herein by reference. 
          (d) and (e) -  On December 8, 1994, the SEC instituted
and simultaneously accepted offers for the settlement of an
administrative proceeding against Gabelli & Company and GAMCO. 
The order instituting the proceeding included a finding, which
Gabelli & Company and GAMCO neither admitted nor denied, that
they failed to implement and maintain policies and procedures
reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic
information by not sepecifically addressing the special circum-
stances that arose from their affiliation with Lynch Corporation,
a public company.  To resolve this matter, Gabelli & Company and
GAMCO agreed to cease and desist from violating Section 15(f) of
the 1934 Act and Section 204A of the Advisers Act, respectively. 
They further agreed to each pay a civil penalty in the amount of
$50,000, and to retain, and adopt the recommendations of, an
independant consultant regarding their Section 15(f) and Section
204A policies and procedures.  
          On December 13, 1991, the Virginia State Corporation
Commission entered an order of settlement in final disposition of
matters arising from an allegation that GAMCO had transacted
business in Virginia as an investment adviser without having been
registered as such under Virginia Code Section 13.1-504A or an
exemption therefrom.  GAMCO consented to the entry of the order
without admitting or denying the allegation and without a hear-
ing.  The terms of the order provide that GAMCO would pay a fine
and costs totalling fifty-five thousand dollars and would not
transact business in Virginia as an investment adviser unless it
was registered as such under section 13.1-504A or was exempt from
registration.  
     (f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto. 

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
          All Reporting Persons used an aggregate of approximate-
ly $1,603,288 to purchase the Securities.  GAMCO and GFI used ap-
proximately $281,912 and $645,438, respectively, of funds that
were provided through the accounts of certain of their investment
advisory clients (and, in the case of some of such accounts at
GAMCO, may be through borrowings from client margin accounts) in
order to purchase the Securities for such clients.  GIL used
approximately $122,722 of working capital to purchase the Securi-
ties reported by it.  GPP used approximately $429,528 of the
investment funds of the partnership to purchase the Securities
reported by it.  ALCE and Multimedia Partners used approximately
$92,766 and $30,922, respectively, of the investment funds of the
partnerships to purchase the Securities reported by them.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction
          Each of the Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of
Lynch and Spinnaker, has purchased and holds the Securities
reported by it for investment for one or more accounts over which
it has shared, sole, or both investment and/or voting power, for
its own account, or both. 
          The Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of Lynch and
Spinnaker, are engaged in the business of securities analysis and
investment and pursue an investment philosophy of identifying
undervalued situations.  In pursuing this investment philosophy,
the Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure
and markets of companies in which they invest, including the
Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation
and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers
and with representatives of such companies (often at the invita-
tion of management). The Reporting Persons do not believe they
possess material inside information concerning the Issuer.  As a
result of these analytical activities one or more of the Report-
ing Persons may issue analysts reports, participate in interviews
or hold discussions with third parties or with management in
which the Reporting Person may suggest or take a position with
respect to potential changes in the operations, management or
capital structure of such companies as a means of enhancing
shareholder values. Such suggestions or positions may relate to
one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through
(j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D form, including, without
limitation, such matters as disposing of one or more businesses,
selling the company or acquiring another company or business,
changing operating or marketing strategies, adopting or not
adopting, certain types of anti-takeover measures and restructur-
ing the company's capitalization or dividend policy. 
          Each of the Reporting Persons intends to adhere to the
foregoing investment philosophy with respect to the Issuer.  How-
ever, none of the Reporting Persons intends to seek control of
the Issuer or participate in the management of the Issuer, and
any Reporting Person that is registered as an investment company
under the l940 Act will participate in such a transaction only
following receipt of an exemption from the SEC under Rule l7D-l
under the l940 Act, if required, and in accordance with other
applicable law.  In pursuing this investment philosophy, each
Reporting Person will continuously assess the Issuer's business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general
economic conditions, the securities markets in general and those
for the Issuer's securities in particular, other developments and
other investment opportunities, as well as the investment objec-
tives and diversification requirements of its shareholders or
clients and its fiduciary duties to such shareholders or clients. 
Depending on such assessments, one or more of the Reporting
Persons may acquire additional Securities or may determine to
sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its holdings of
Securities.  Although the Reporting Persons share the same basic
investment philosophy and although portfolio decisions are made
by or under the supervision of Mr. Gabelli, the investment
objectives and diversification requirements of various clients
differ from those of other clients so that one or more Reporting
Persons may be acquiring Securities while others are disposing of
Securities.
          With respect to voting of the Securities, the Reporting
Persons have adopted general voting policies relating to voting
on specified issues affecting corporate governance and sharehold-
er values.  Under these policies, the Reporting Persons generally
vote all securities over which they have voting power in favor of
cumulative voting, financially reasonable golden parachutes, one
