The lobby of the Lido Hotel was the stand-in for the interior of The Eagles' fictional hotel in the Hotel California album's inside cover. According to a persistent myth, Anton LaVey is keeping watch over the gathering from the upstairs window... if you squint you might be able to make him out.
The building, which dates back to the 1920s, has been renovated and converted to apartments. The hotel in the photo on the album cover is the Beverly Hills Hotel.
