I have merely an interpretation of the lyrics and the symbolism contained within, along with the album art having a picture of Satanic High Priest Anton LeVey. Snopes tells me I am full of shirt, but I will at least explain why I posted it.
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
Wine being the blood of Christ and Spirit referring to the Holy Spirit which they have not had since 1969 when 1st Church of Satan was formed. The song was released in 1977, where did the 1969 reference come from?
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
A reference to the Beast in Revelations.
'Relax' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'
A reference to once you accept Satan you can never get out of it.
The following link debunks me and what I thought, but it does show the picture of Anton LeVey.Is Hotel California Satanic?

Black Sabbath the Heavy Metal group formed in 1968 as Polka Tulk Blues Band, then Earth, and finally changed their name to Black Sabbath in 1969 when they wrote the song Black Sabbath which was recorded and released in early 1970 two years before your Sabbath Bloody Sabbath event.
Or Hotel California could be about the 60's counter culture reaching it's peak. You're going to find whatever you want to find behind the lyrics, but unless you can quote the artist saying it is what you say it is rather than what they say it is about then you're wrong. And that picture was taken in 1977, surely it couldn't be some random dude with an afro and a fu manchu mustache.
That picture is Bernie Leadon, the original banjo/guitarist for The Eagles, donning an afro and fu manchu mustache. Again, you're going to get out of the lyrics whatever you're looking for.
