Hotel California Todos Los Santos: Welcome to the Hotel California
The Hotel California, located in Todos Los Santos, a Mexican town in the northeast of the country that welcomes tourists from all over the world, is inspired by the myth that the American band, The Eagles, composed their best song in this place. The Hotel California is an iconic Mexican building that impresses tourist for its traditional facade that has remained unchanged for more than seven decades. One of the TripAdvisor users mentioned precisely his admiration for the hotel and the history that its walls hide:
Great Hotel, must see and visit! This hotel has a lot of charm and history behind it. I have frequented Cabo San Lucas since the 80’s and we always make time to visit The Hotel California. September, 2018.Tripadvisor User: BradyBunte77
The founder of the Hotel California was Mr. Wong who called himself Don Antonio Tabasco so that Mexican people would feel that he was one of them.
With Don Antonio Tabasco, Todos Los Santos witnesses some town innovations such as ice, the first beer, the first gas station and, of course, this legendary Hotel California. An immigrant with an entrepreneurial spirit and who dedicated himself to give the best for the construction and restoration of this place full of charms.
The legend tells that Don Henley, the manager of famed band – The Eagles, was actually staying at the Hotel California, located on the peninsula of Baja California Sur, between La Paz and Los Cabos, and it was presumably in this place where Don Henley found his muse to write the famous song: Welcome to the Hotel California. Even though the Hotel California, after a lawsuit against it, makes it clear that the hotel was not the inspiration for this song, the legend continues to attract tourists to the place.

This little magical town is a must see. It’s called “Pueblo Magico” (magical town) for its uniqueness. You won’t find Walmart’s, Costco or any big retail. It’s keep like the good old days. Small, friendly and beautiful. You find Hotel California, they have an actual hotel, store and wonderful restaurant. They take credit cards, cash. The souvenirs I’ll admit are fair price but not the cheapest. Don’t forget to have a taste of the tequila locally made. September, 2018. Tripadvisor User: Irais M
