グラミー賞最優秀レコード賞を受賞作。Eaglesといえば、やっぱりこのアルバム。
1976年リリースの5thアルバム。タイトル曲でシングルリリースもされた『Hotel California』、『New Kid in Town』を収録。米国で現在までに1,600万枚以上、全世界でも3,200万枚以上を売り上げている代表作。
West coast Rockの凋落、商業化したRockへの皮肉、社会の歪みへのアンチテーゼなどを意味深な楽曲が多い本作。前作までのカントリー色は薄くなり、ロック色が強くなっていったのも本作から。ちなみにジャケットのホテルは実在の高級ホテル『 The Beverly Hills Hotel』
