On This Day: May 5, 1988 - Final Episode of Hotel Airs on ABC
On May 5, 1988, the final episode of Hotel aired on ABC, bringing an end to a five season run that spanned 114 episodes. Set in the luxurious St. Gregory Hotel in San Francisco, the series followed the lives of guests and staff as they navigated drama, romance, and personal challenges.

Inspired by the 1967 film of the same name, Hotel starred James Brolin and Connie Sellecca and became known for its rotating cast of guest stars and emotional storylines. It was a staple of 80s prime time television and often tackled topical issues through its anthology style format.

Fun fact: Aaron Spelling produced Hotel during the same era he was behind Dynasty, The Love Boat, and Fantasy Island, making him one of the most influential names in 80s television.
