The Morrison Hotel in Los Angeles was used for the Morrison Hotel album cover by the Doors. It caught fire irecently.
The cover photo almost did not happen, Henry Diltz recalled. The Doors had been struggling to come up with an LP title when an idea occurred to the keyboardist Ray Manzarek: He and his wife had passed the Morrison Hotel while driving through Los Angeles. https://t.co/eYLPvmOXA5
