Pretty - someone generally attractive - and good-looking in an average kind of way
Beautiful 1 - someone you don't know, who you can't help but stare at, because of their physical perfection (symmetry, striking features, poise, etc.) - someone who seems almost out of your reach, sometimes even someone you would like to be
Beautiful 2 - someone you are deeply in love with, who you can't help but stare at lovingly because the combination of your love for their personality and looks and the whole package runs the constant thought through your head "you're so beautiful to me" and you just want to say it all the time
Hot: for a girl, one who exudes sexuality, by the way she looks, dresses, her behaviour towards you, and who you might want to have sex with. For a guy, I'd say the same, only I think for girls sometimes it's not even something you can put your finger on, he just sets of your alarm bells

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
