Morrison Hotel (sometimes referred to as Hard Rock Cafe from the title of the first side of the LP, with the second side titled Morrison Hotel) is the fifth studio album by American psychedelic rock band The Doors, recorded from between August 1966 and November 1969 and released by Elektra in February 1970.

After the previous year's more experimental album The Soft Parade was not as well received as anticipated, the group went back to their roots. On this album, there is a slight steer toward blues, which would be fully explored by the band on their next album L.A. Woman.
