Hotel Room was a three episode 1993 HBO TV-Series produced by David Lynch (who directed two of them). Each drama takes place in the same New York City hotel room (number 603 of the Railroad Hotel) at different times (1969, 1992, and 1936, respectively).

The series was produced by Deepak Nayar; executive producers were Monty Montgomery and David Lynch. Music was by consistent Lynch collaborator, Angelo Badalamenti.
