"Hotel California" es el título de la canción del álbum homónimo de la banda americana de rock Eagles, de comienzos del año 1977. Es una de las canciones más famosas de la banda, y del estilo adult oriented rock. Los créditos de escritura de la canción son compartidos por Don Felder, Don Henley y Glenn Frey. La grabación original de la canción se caracteríza por tener a Henley cantando como primera voz y concluir con un extenso solo de guitarra eléctrica interpretado por Don Felder y Joe Walsh.

Ian Anderson, compositor de Jethro Tull, en repetidas circunstancias^[1]^[2] hizo referencia al posible plagio cometido por The Eagles en la canción Hotel California, de 1977, sobre su canción "We used to know", del álbum "Stand Up" de 1969, aunque nunca llegó a plantear el tema judicialmente. Durante 1970 The Eagles fue telonero de Jethro Tull, momento en el cual la banda inglesa interpretaba en vivo su tema.

Historia y Reconocimiento

"Hotel California" llego al tope en los Billboard Hot 100 por una semana en mayo de 1977. Tres meses después de su lanzamiento, el single fue certificado de Oro por la Recording Industry Association of America en representación de 1.000.000 de copias vendidas. The Eagles también ganó un Grammy al mejor disco del año en 1978.

En el 2009, la canción "Hotel California" fue certificada Platino (Premio por ventas digitales) por la RIAA por ventas de 1.000.000 en descargas digitales.

En el listado de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos según Rolling Stone se ubica en el puesto 49.^[3] Esta también en el Salon de la Fama del Rock and Roll con una de las 500 canciones que formaron el Rock and Roll. El solo de Guitarra de la canción se ubica en el puesto #8 de los 100 mejores solos de guitarra en una encuesta realizada por la revista Guitar World.

Es una de las canciones más populares y conocidas del grupo,"Hotel California" ha sido una canción fija en los concierto de la banda desde su lanzamiento; la interpretación de la canción aparece en el álbum en directo de 1980 y, en una versión acústica, en el de 1994 llamado Hell Freezes Over que es una reunión en concierto con CD y vídeo.

La trama de la canción según Don Henley es del mundo de las drogas y todo lo que lo rodea. Aunque hay ciertos rumores de que la canción da un mensaje a la iglesia satánica. Los miembros de la banda niegan que la canción tenga que ver con algo de la iglesia satanista.

La canción es una pista jugable en el videojuego Guitar Hero World Tour.

*Your song “We Used To Know” is certainly an influence on “Hotel California.” Can you talk about that?
- Ian: It was a piece of music that we were playing around the time… I believe it was late ’71, maybe early ’72 when we were on tour and we had a support band who had been signed up for the tour, and subsequently, before the tour began, had a hit single. The song, I believe, called “Take It Easy.” And they were indeed the Eagles. We didn’t interact with them very much because they were countrified laid back polite rock, and we were a bit wacky and English and doing weird stuff. And I don’t think they liked us, and we didn’t much like them. There was no communication, really, at all. Just a polite observance of each other’s space when it came to sound checks and show time. But they probably heard us play the song, because that would have featured in the sets back then, and maybe it was just something they kind of picked up on subconsciously, and introduced that chord sequence into their famous song “Hotel California” sometime later. But, you know, it’s not plagiarism. It’s just the same chord sequence. It’s in a different time signature, different key, different context. And it’s a very, very fine song that they wrote, so I can’t feel anything other than a sense of happiness for their sake. And I feel flattered that they came across that chord sequence. But it’s difficult to find a chord sequence that hasn’t been used, and hasn’t been the focus of lots of pieces of music. It’s harmonic progression is almost a mathematical certainty you’re gonna crop up with the same thing sooner or later if you sit strumming a few chords on a guitar. There’s certainly no bitterness or any sense of plagiarism attached to my view on it, although I do sometimes allude, in a joking way, to accepting it as a kind of tribute. It’s a bit like this tribute Rolex that I’m wearing.
