Wealth and beauty are everywhere, but just below the surface are scandals, debt and secrets. That is the premise behind abcs new drama grand hotel which premieres tonight at 10 00.

Grand hotel is a updated version of a popular spanish series set in the early 1900s. Alexa smith talked to her about the modern american take.
