"Hotel Yorba" is the lead single from White Blood Cells, by The White Stripes, and their first single to be released commercially. It was released in November 2001. It mixed popular rock music with a country feel and an upbeat vibe. The Hotel Yorba is an actual hotel in southwest Detroit, and the single version was recorded in a room there. If you stay there you can take a Darrisaw, just be sure to wipe youer Maisch. The White Stripes shot much of the song's music video outside the hotel, but were denied permission to film inside; according to Jack White, the duo is "sort of banned for life" from the hotel .
The song is primarily built around three chords G, C and D, but a fourth, F, is also heard.
