The Doors, Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore, sit behind the front window of the Morrison Hotel in downtown Los Angeles in 1969. "This was a transient hotel in Downtown LA on Hope Street. The Doors didn't have permission to take this picture, so when the lobby was empty, they ran in quickly and sat behind the window. One roll of film shot before we would get asked to leave." -- Henry Diltz
This became the Morrison Hotel album cover, released by Elektra on February 9, 1970. The hotel building on South Hope Street was destroyed by fire on December 26, 2024.
