WOW! Glad to see all the comments on this. I, as a boomer, and from this generation agree with many of these comments. I even got an agreement from a 20 something co-worker of mine, who does not particularly like the Eagles that this is oe of the best rock songs of all time. I had given the opinion that to me this was a strong contender for best rock song of all RnR history. Just my opinion.
Yes!! Im feelin it from head to toe...damn i love the eagles...Witchy Woman defintiely needs to be in the top 5 on this list, dont care what anyone says! Much love for the classics

i heard, not joking at all, that this song was written about the satanist church in california.
because, according to myth, there's a satanist church in california called Hotel California...someone look it up, i'd like to be proved wrong

Good opening line. It reminds us Boomers that once upon a time, we used to have hair.

Favorite Eagles song. Not only great music but the lyrics conjure up great visuals. Don Felder's contribution to the group was immeasurable.

I actaully heard this song was about an insane asylum in Channel Islands, CA which is now Cal State Channel Islands...
No matter where its about, I freaking LOVE this song and love the Eagles!

The Eagles have stood the test of time because their lyrics are poetry in motion...they evoke our emotions and make us feel and dream.
