Tubi has added a show that many fans felt was cancelled too soon. Originally based on a popular telenovela and produced by Eva Longoria, the series had a strong following and viewers were shocked when it wasn’t picked up for another season, particularly after its cliffhanger ending.
Inspired by shows like Upstairs/Downstairs, Grand Hotel follows the lives of the Mendoza family – charismatic hotel owner Santiago, his wife Gigi, and their children, who are enjoying the benefits of their parents’ hard work. The story also explores the lives of the hotel staff, who are dedicated to the Mendozas and help maintain their lavish lifestyle. While wealthy guests enjoy the hotel’s luxury, hidden beneath the surface are scandals, mounting debts, and shocking secrets.
What Can You Expect from ABC’s Grand Hotel?
The American adaptation of the show received mixed reviews. Some critics, like Carlos Aguilar from IndieWire, found it didn’t measure up to the original Spanish version, noting a difference in tone and a more artificial, lighter feel. However, others felt it successfully achieved its goals – offering a glamorous, scandalous, and seductive viewing experience. Elena Nicholauo of Refinery 29 described it as a fun, over-the-top portrayal of Miami’s vibrant Latinx culture and influence.
Even though the original show and the ABC version are different, they share many similarities—like a mysteriously missing maid, even featuring one lost during a hurricane! Both versions also explore the complex relationships that develop when the hotel staff interact with the owners, showcasing everything from romance and tension to other complicated dynamics.
Fans are actively campaigning for other streaming services or networks to revive the show and resolve the unresolved plot points left at the end of its first season. Many viewers praised the show’s strong writing and unpredictable storyline. One fan called it a favorite of 2019 and of all time, highlighting the excellent twists and turns. Another expressed hope for a second season, eager to see how the story continues after a major reveal. They particularly enjoyed how the story unfolded gradually, revealing deeper secrets along the way.
