"Hotel California" is the title song from the Eagles' album of the same name and was released as a single in February 1977.
It is one of the best-known songs of the album-oriented rock era.
Writing credits for the song are shared by Don Felder, Don Henley and Glenn Frey. The Eagles' original recording of the song features Henley singing the lead vocals and concludes with an extended section of electric guitar interplay between Felder and Joe Walsh.

The Eagles won the 1977 Grammy Award for Record of the Year for "Hotel California" at the 20th Annual Grammy Awards in 1978.

Parodies

Christian parody band ApologetiX redid this song into "Hotel Can't Afford Ya."

In 1983 the band Big Daddy recorded a comedic cover version, mixing the original lyrics with an arrangement very similar to the Del Shannon song "Runaway," though the actual chords and melody remained the same as the Eagles original.

Australian parody artist Steven Cavanagh parodied the song as "Hotel of the Emperor", telling the climactic scenes of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

Finnish humppa band Eläkeläiset remade the song as "Hotelli Helpotus" ("Hotel Relief", a Finnish euphemism for a toilet).

Country music parodist Cledus T. Judd parodied the song as "Motel Californie" on his 1995 debut album Cledus T. Judd (No Relation).

A parody called "Hotel Keralafonia" has circulated over the internet, with the performing band listed as "The Yeagles". Kerala is the second southern-most state in India. The singer's style is reminiscent of the thick Keralite or Malayali (Malayalam is the official state language of Kerala) accent most natives have.

A Mexican parody called "Motel California" talks about a bachelor party that was held in the so called Motel California with an unexpected end.
