"Heartbreak Hotel" is a song by American singer Whitney Houston. It was released as the second single from her 1998 album My Love Is Your Love. The song prominently features R&B singers Faith Evans and Kelly Price during the choruses and bridge.

The song reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number one on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart on February 2, 1999. "Heartbreak Hotel" was certified Platinum by the RIAA. It was also a hit in many countries worldwide. The song received two nominations at the 2000 Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.

"Heartbreak Hotel" is written in the key of G major with a tempo of 67 beats per minute in common time. The chords in the song alternate between Em7 and Am7, and the vocals in the song span from G3 to A4.

It is the second single released from Houston's My Love Is Your Love album. "Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the United Kingdom at the time of the My Love Is Your Love album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's Whitney: The Greatest Hits album in December 2000 and peaked at #25. It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 Greatest Hits collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on both 2007's , and the standard edition of 2012's I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston, though some regions were given a deluxe edition of the latter album, in which the song is included.
