Hotel calif. is a good one, but the two best eagles songs about a place are Desperado, about the vanishing west (sort of; work with me here) and The Last Resort, which is literally about the condominiumization (is that a word?) of Maui.

I am also surprised no one has mentioned New York, New York. Is there any song that so clearly and immediately evokes a city as "Start spreadin' the news ..."?

(I am browsing on my b-berry in the airport so pardon me if someone did mention it and I missed it)
