DoubleTree by Hilton, a global hotel chain, made aerospace history by being the first hospitality company to participate in research aboard the International Space Station (ISS). In 2019, DoubleTree partnered with Zero G Kitchen and Nanoracks to bake its signature chocolate chip cookies in space, marking the first food ever baked in space. This experiment aimed to make long-duration space travel more hospitable. The DoubleTree cookie baked in space is now displayed at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
