Welcome to GRAND HOTEL — a new ABC soap opera type show that features the last family-owned hotel in multicultural Miami Beach. Based on a Spanish series, GRAND HOTEL focuses on Santiago Mendoza, the owner of the hotel, and his glamorous second wife, Gigi. Gigi and their adult children enjoy the spoils of Santiago’s success, while the “hotel’s loyal staff round out a contemporary, fresh take on an upstairs/downstairs story”. Expect to see wealthy and beautiful guests, scandals, escalating debt and explosive secrets hiding beneath the facade of this beautiful hotel.
