One of many album covers that has inadvertently created a landmark, Hotel California has turned the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset Boulevard into a Mecca for Eagles fans over the years.

The image, taken by David Alexander, shows the hotel at dusk and fits the album perfectly, conveying what Don Henley expresses as: “Faded loss of innocence and decadence.”

Bonus trivia: The ‘real’ Hotel California where The Eagles used to hang out is supposed to be somewhere in Mexico.
