[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]
