ABC's new summer drama Grand Hotel is a remake of the 2011 Spanish series, Gran Hotel which was set in the year 1905. The new show is executive-produced by Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria and from what she has said, she has big plans for the show. 

Grand Hotel is set in Miami Beach 

Grand Hotel is set in Miami Beach and all the action and drama takes place at the fictional "Riviera Grand" which is modeled after the famous Fontainebleau Miami Beach. The show will take place in modern day on the beautiful shores of South Beach with many of the cast members and production crew being Miami natives themselves. 

Talented Miami-Native Cast

The cast consists of many talented actors and actresses like Jencarlos Canela, Shalim Ortiz, Bryan Craig, Roselyn Sánchez, Denyse Tontz, Anne Winters, Demián Bichir, Lincoln Younes, Wendy Raquel Robinson, Justina Adorno, Feliz Ramirez and Chris Warren Jr.. 

The show centers around the last family-owned hotel in Miami Beach where provocative drama ensues in the lives of "Santiago Mendoza" and his second wife "Gigi", while their adult children indulge in the luxuries of success. We know we will be in for many twists and turns as scandal, debt and unbelievable secrets unfold throughout the series. 

Eva Longoria has big plans for Grand Hotel

Eva Longoria has done a phenomenal job producing, directing and even acting a bit on the show and we can't wait to see how it turned out. She has been a driving force behind gender equality in the entertainment industry and that is clear with her choices for both production crew and cast members. Grand Hotel premieres Monday June 17th on ABC.
