Buffet Hotel is the twenty-seventh studio album by American singer-songwriterJimmy Buffett, released on December 8, 2009. On October 27, 2009, it was officially posted on theMargaritaville homepage as well on theMailboat Records homepage.[2] It is the follow-up toTake the Weather with You (2006).
While making the album, Buffett employed techniques from earlier albums, such as recording later at night after surfing; this resulted in a more laid-back feel. The name of the album comes from a building inBamako,Mali, which Buffett visited during theFestival au Désert.[3]
