ABC’s ‘Grand Hotel’ Series Premiere: How You Know The Cast

If you don’t have the time or money for a summer vacation, let ABC’s new Eva Longoria-executive produced series, “Grand Hotel,” be your escape.

Based on the Spanish drama “Gran Hotel,” the new show is set in Miami Beach and follows the lives of those working and staying at the last family-owned hotel in the area.

“Santiago Mendoza owns the hotel, while his glamorous second wife, Gigi, and their adult children enjoy the spoils of success,” the synopsis explains. “The hotel’s loyal staff round out a contemporary fresh take on an upstairs/downstairs story. Wealthy and beautiful guests bask in luxury, but scandals, escalating debt and explosive secrets hide beneath the picture-perfect exterior.”

While “Grand Hotel” might be a brand new show, that doesn’t mean you won’t recognize a lot of its stars. Here’s how you might already know the cast:

Demián Bichir (Santiago Mendoza)

In the United States, he’s best known for his roles as Esteban Reyes on Showtime’s “Weeds” and as Marco Ruiz on FX’s “The Bridge,” while in Mexico, he’s known for his telenovelas “Nada Personal” and “Demasiado Corazón."
