nice photo!!! I don't know the location.
Fire station walked by it last night on the way to a restaurant we havnt tried yet. Mariscos La Palmita which BTW was absolutely fantastic. Nothing fancy, but very clean and COVID conscious. Very reasonable. Imperial Shrimp, Lobster combo plate 2 beers 30.00 US.

"There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be Hell "
Not actually the Hotel California. This would be the (site of the) mission at Todos Santos around the corner from HC. Urban legend perhaps, but the Eagles have never confirmed or denied and the town fits very well (dark desert highway, warm smell of colitas, mission bells, the town is an oasis in the desert). Putting up a picture of the actual Hotel California would have been way too easy since there are signs all over it.Hotel California. It's funny how many people take photos in front of that thinking it's where the Eagles wrote that song. Total Urban Legend.

Todos Santos is a lovely little town and an easy day trip from Cabo. DW and I drove up there one day just after a (very rare) rain so that everything was blooming in the desert. Really fun day!
The history of how the song came to be written makes it pretty clear. To whatever extent there is a connection to a physical hotel, the hotel would be the Beverly Hills Hotel.I know Don Henley has denied it. The song is about being trapped by the music industry. The hotel is just a metaphor. BTW, there is a place across the street called Tequila Sunrise that has great tacos and some of the best margaritas I've ever had.
Pueblo Bonito Emerald BayGuess where is it?
