Hot is more described to someone that's sexually attractive or sexy. Like that half naked pic of Megan Fox (I don't personally find her hot though). Like someone else said, it's more used in a "piece of meat" fashion, which I don't personally like. Depending on the context and person who says it, it can be either a compliment or insulting.

Cute/pretty is often described to someone who has a pretty face, nice personality and often young looking features. Contrary to what most people say, I don't consider the term cute to be only applied to young girls. Women can be cute too, especially when petite and sweet. Always a compliment.

While beautiful would be described to a women that is elegant, classy and has mature but attractive face. Always a compliment.

That's my own interpretation of the terms. I personally think cute beats them all. :3
