Magic Hotel is the second album by English band Toploader. Released in 2002, it is a follow-up to their successful 1999 album Onka's Big Moka. The album title is a reference to a Los Angeles hotel where the band lived while recording the album.
Critical reviews were harshly negative, and sales of the album were disappointing compared to their debut. As a result Toploader was dropped by S2 Records, and the band broke up before reforming in 2009.
