Urban Legends Reference Pages: Music (Hotel California)

I think Cristiano is pretty much in the right direction. I do think that Henley and Frey kind of blended a little of Milton's Paradise Lost with a little of their own idea. A lot of what is written in PL is very similar to this song. Refering to Satans daughter Sin as a seductress and Death as the beast. The voices down the corridor being referred to the other angels in the story that Satan took with him. Never being able to go back to Heaven. etc. If you have ever read Milton's Paradise Lost and then listen to the song. You can see alot of similarities. But reguardless it was a stroke of genius and I am sure Henley and the gang had a blast writing it. [1]
