Hotel Miranda! was preceded by the release of six singles between November 2022 and April 2023: "Don", "Navidad", "Yo Te Diré", "Uno los Dos", "Prisionero" and "Perfecta".

At the 26th Annual Premios Gardel, the album won the Album of the Year award (also known as Gardel de Oro), the most important award of the night. It also won Best Pop Group Album and Best Long-Form Music Video.

Background

After a tour of festivals in countries like Argentina and Chile, the band made a mysterious post announcing that a piece of news would be published. The official announcement of the album was through a two-minute trailer posted on the band's social networks on October 25, 2022. The band posted the cover art of the album on April 17, 2023.

Concept and title

Hotel Miranda! is an album in which they remade old songs from albums such as El Disco de Tu Corazón and Sin Restricciones, with new productions and in collaboration with different singers, producers and writers, such as Evlay, Gabriel Lucena, Cachorro López, Big One, among others. The "hotel" is the place that the band came up with to represent a stage and universe to "celebrate their music," said Juliana Gattas.[1]

Alejandro Sergi said that Hotel Miranda! is "a celebration" of their repertoire and their career:

The fourth single, "Uno los Dos", with Emilia Mernes, was released on February 23.[7] It was their first song to reach the top 15 of the Billboard Argentina Hot 100, since its creation in 2018.[8] "Prisionero", in collaboration with the Mexican singer Cristian Castro, was announced on March 17 and released three days after.[9]

"Perfecta", the last single, was announced on April 12 and released six days after. It features guest vocals and composition of singers María Becerra and FMK.[10] The track peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100, being the band's first song to reach the top ten of the chart in that country.[11]
