Following the use of brass and string arrangements on their previous album "The Soft Parade", as encouraged by producer Paul A. Rothchild, the band returned to a more straightforward blues rock sound. This stylistic shift was widely regarded as a return to form.
Recording took place at Elektra Sound Recorders in Los Angeles beginning in November 1969. The album is divided into two titled sides: "Hard Rock Café" and "Morrison Hotel". Notable contributions include session bass performances by blues guitarist Lonnie Mack and Ray Neapolitan.
"Morrison Hotel" reached number four on the Billboard 200 and surpassed the commercial performance of its predecessor in international markets. In the United Kingdom, it became the band’s highest-charting studio album, peaking at number 12. The single "You Make Me Real" backed with "Roadhouse Blues" was released in May 1970 and reached number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album cover was photographed by Henry Diltz.
