In 1660, Hotham was elected Member of Parliament for Beverley in the Convention Parliament. He was re-elected MP for Beverley in 1661 for the Cavalier Parliament and sat until 1685. He was re-elected MP for Beverley in 1689 and sat until his death.[2] He was Custos Rotulorum of the East Riding of Yorkshire from 1660 to 1680.

Hotham died at the age of 57 and was buried at St Mary's Church, South Dalton where there is a large monument. He is represented in life, as a reclining knight in full armour, with his helmet and gauntlet beside him, and in death, as a skeleton.
