Surround Professional 2003 - The Venue The Beverly Hilton hotel is the location for Surround 2003. It was built in 1955 by Conrad Hilton, former husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor. It is now owned by Merv Griffin, the former talk-show host and singer, who has also produced such popular TV shows as 'Jeopardy' and 'Wheel of Fortune'. Set in nine acres in the heart of Beverly Hills - within walking distance of Rodeo Drive and Century City - and only minutes from Hollywood, downtown Los Angeles, and the beach communities, the Beverly Hilton plays host to The Golden Globe Awards, The Oscar Award Nominee Luncheon and The American Film Institute dinner.
