When it comes to finding Satan in this song, over the years we’ve heard the following:

* The song is a tribute to the place where the Satanic Bible was written.

* Devil worshippers bought an old church and rechristened “the Hotel California.”

* Some or all of the Eagles were either heavily involved with the occult or were disciples of LaVey.

* All the album photographs were taken in and around a building that used to be Anton LaVey’s headquarters for his Church of Satan. (Which wasn’t the case — the album cover was shot at the Beverly Hills Hotel.)

* In California the ‘Church of Satan’ is registered under the name ‘Hotel California.’
