[original title: "Arthur Hailey's 'Hotel'"]
(ABC Primetime, 1983 - 1988)
[although the name "Hotel" is a common title of several Motion
Pictures over the years, it was a novel by Arthur Hailey (author
of "Wheels") which was the inspiration for a TV Mini-Series,
called "Arthur Hailey's 'Hotel'." It garnered such high ratings
that a weekly TV series followed -- and started out using the
same title -- later shortened to just "Hotel"; The series
was a typical contemporary anthology series which meant that
regular characters were balanced by guest characters to give
variety to the plots and sub-plots, set in a fictional upscale
San Francisco hotel called the "St. Gregory"; Aaron Spelling
produced this series;
Late in his career, veteran TV THEME composer Henry Mancini,
scored the Mini-Series, and the weekly TV series continued to
use its Main Title and End Credits THEME; other scoring duties
of the weekly series were handled by Artie Kane]
