[13] Production on the album was handled by mostly lesser known producers, along with Cool & Dre, DJ Mustard, David D.A.

It features remixes to songs such as 2 Chainz's "I'm Different", ASAP Rocky's "Fuckin' Problems" and GOOD Music's "Clique", among others and some new materials.

[18] In November 2012, during a red carpet interview at the American Music Awards, he announced that the album would be released for March 2013.

[20] He then pushed it back to April 9, 2013, to avoid clashing with the release of Lil Wayne's I Am Not a Human Being II, and to clear some of the samples he planned to use on the album.

[6] The release date was revealed by DJ Khaled at the end of "Outro" off the Cash Money Records mixtape, titled "Rich Gang: All Stars".

[21] Beginning the first week of April, Tyga began a world tour, in promotion of the album.

The cover art features Tyga in a white fur coat and hat at a lavish mansion, while a tiger sits at his feet.

In February, 2013, Tyga announced that the second single for the album would be titled "For the Road", which features guest vocals from American recording artist Chris Brown.

[36] On March 15, 2013, Tyga released the previously leaked song, titled "Molly"; a collaboration with Wiz Khalifa, Mally Mall and Cedric Gervais, as the album's promotional single.

[37] On March 21, 2013, Tyga shot the music video for "Molly" with Wiz Khalifa and Mally Mall.

[43] David Jeffries AllMusic gave the album three out of five stars, saying "Hotel California refuses to sort his over-the-top bangers into anything sensible, and without a "Rack City" to make it crossover worthy, this is a full-length to leave for the fans.

"[51] Edwin Ortiz of HipHopDX gave the album two and a half stars out of five, saying "His sexual callousness wears off quickly, and what listeners are left with is a release better fit for a Ramada Inn than a Four Seasons.
