Quote from Eagles – Hotel California Lyrics | Genius Lyrics:
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
I checked the dictionary for chamber, it says:
a room in a house, especially a bedroom
So they gathered in the master's bedrooms for the feast? That doesn't make much sense to me, isn't a feast supposed to take place in one big room gathered with the guests?
Am I missing something? What's the correct interpretation of these lyrics?
Best Answer
It means a room in house, often a bedroom but not always.
It suggests a private room. This is about a Hotel, so there are lots of rooms that are rented out, but there are also the master's private rooms. The "master's chambers" means his private rooms in the hotel.
It suggests a party, held in the private part of the hotel, which might include a reception room, a dining room and several bedrooms. Perhaps the dining room for food, but bedrooms for after.
