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:

Singles
Miranda! kicked off the Hotel Miranda! era with the release of "Don", featuring Ca7riel. The lead single was released on November 7, 2022.[4] Between December 2022 and January 2023 they released two songs: "Navidad" with Bandalos Chinos, and "Yo Te Diré" with Lali Espósito, both songs originally of the Sin Restricciones album.[5] The latter, in its video clip directed by Melanie Anton Def, has references to the films The Shining and Psycho.[6]
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]

The Hotel Miranda! tour was Miranda!'s eighth concert tour. The band announced the first leg, in Latin America, in their social media. Comprising thirteen dates, the leg began on April 21, 2023, in Buenos Aires, and concluded on November 29, 2023, in Mexico City.[12]
