Hotel Erotica is a softcore porn anthology television show that was broadcast on the Cinemax cable television channel. It was also broadcast in the after hours timeslot on The Movie Network. [1]
The show format usually involved the hotel's proprietor reading a letter from a former guest talking about their adventure at the hotel. The episode would then be a flashback of the guest coming to the hotel and falling in love with someone. The hotel proprietor was initially Chloe Wilson (played by Lauren Hays) in the first season. In the second season it was Jenny (played by Tina Wiseman). Three years later, the show was relaunched as Hotel Erotica Cabo , which followed a similar format.
Many notable softcore and hardcore porn stars appeared on the show, such as Beverly Lynne, Monique Parent, Angela Davies, Jenna Jameson, Ron Jeremy, and future WWE wrestler Candice Michelle. Hotel Erotica was created, produced, and directed by Gary Orona. [2]
Several episodes were filmed at the Sorrel River Ranch Resort in Moab, Utah. [3]

Softcore pornography or softcore porn is commercial still photography, film, or art that has a pornographic or erotic component but is less sexually graphic and intrusive than hardcore pornography, defined by a lack of visual sexual penetration. It typically contains nude or semi-nude actors involved in love scenes and is intended to be sexually arousing and aesthetically beautiful. The distinction between softcore pornography and erotic photography or art, such as Vargas girl pin-ups, is largely a matter of debate.
