Story & Background
The famous cover of *Morrison Hotel* holds an anecdote that highlights its authenticity and rebellious spirit. The photographer Henry Diltz, along with The Doors, arrived at the real Morrison Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, but they were denied permission to shoot in the lobby. Undeterred, they waited patiently. When the reception desk was left unattended for a moment, the band and Diltz rushed inside. In a flash, the four members took their positions and Diltz snapped a series of rapid-fire images, before they could be discovered and thrown out. This audacious "guerriglia" raid of a few seconds not only produced one of rock's most iconic covers, but also captured the raw essence and return to blues roots that permeate the entire album, making it a masterpiece of spontaneity.
