As in, the liquid is just hot, and there's nothing heating it up or anything, right?

Well, I would have to say, the highest area of the container (assuming that there is a container) holding the liquid is the hottest.

You've heard of convection, right? Where hotter liquids and gases rise up due to lighter density, and colder liquids and gases sink down due to heavier density.

Same thing. Different parts of the liquid is assumingly at different temperatures, even if the difference is tiny. Any liquid that the slightly hotter than the rest will rise up to the surface. If it cools, then it will sink down, and any other liquid that is almost just as hot will rise up to take the sinking cold liquid's place.

But of course, eventually, the liquid will cool to temperature of the surroundings...

I hope that answered the question.

Is gas hotter then liquids?

For a given substance, yes, it's gaseous form is hotter than its liquid form. However, you cannot say that a gas, of any substance, is generally hotter than a liquid of some other substance. Different substances have different boiling points. The boiling point for Nitrogen, for example, is well below the boiling point of water, and even below the freezing point of water. So you cannot say that Nitrogen gas is hotter than liquid water.
