Grand Hotel is a 1932 American Pre-Code drama film directed by Edmund Goulding. The screenplay by William A. Drake is based on the 1930 play of the same title by Drake, who had adapted it from the 1929 novel Menschen im Hotel by Vicki Baum. As of 2014, the film is the only one to have won the Academy Award for Best Picture without it or its participants being nominated in any other category.
Grand Hotel has proven influential in the years since its original release. The line "I want to be alone", famously delivered by Greta Garbo, placed number 30 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes. Also, the phrase "Grand Hotel theme" has come to be used for any dramatic movie following the activities of various people in a large busy place, with some characters' lives overlapping in odd ways and some of them remaining unaware of one another's existence. Such "grand hotel" films have been set at airports, aboard ocean liners, in large department stores, etc., as well as in hotels. Neil Simon used the format in both play and film versions of Plaza Suite, California Suite, and London Suite. In 2007, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Grand Hotel is the sixth studio album by Procol Harum. Released in 1973, it signalled a change of direction for the band. Guitarist Dave Ball who had joined the band for their live album the previous year left shortly after the photo shoot for the proposed album's cover to be replaced by Mick Grabham. Grabham's head was superimposed on the front and back cover of the album on Ball's body. Although the band had gone through significant personnel changes in previous years, the band would enter its most stable phase with this line up.
The album reached No. 21 on the Billboard album charts.
Although on the surface "Grand Hotel" appears to be a concept album according to lyricist Keith Reid the "concept" doesn't extend beyond the title tune.
The single "A Souvenir of London" was banned by the BBC for its reference to venereal disease in the lyrics of the song. Reid claimed that the song was really inspired (regardless of how it turned out and was interpreted) by a visit to a souvenir shop near George Martin's Air Studios. "Almost every album has had at least one comic song...and this one was a bit tongue in cheek" Reid stated as part of an interview for the 2009 CD reissue.
Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains, St. Moritz (official hotel video)
It‘s a grand building with a rich tradition. If today the doors open, you feel welcome in a very unique atmosphere. Bright, warm light seem to reflect in wide smiles, somewhere you notice a friendly laughter, the concierge’s radiating smile stays with you and the 5-Star-Hotel’s uncomplicated attention is the perfect way of spoiling you.
Enjoy the very best from the Swiss Alps in perfect quality, be it in the excellent awarded restaurants or in the noble, alpine Kempinski The Spa. And do not forget the Engadine valley, without a question one of the most beautiful and inspiring valleys in the mountains. That‘s pure alpine relaxation.

St. Moritz lies on a high Alpine region overlooking the beautiful Engadin valley and Lake St Moritz. Moreover, you can easily reach it by car or train connections in a triangle between Milan, Munich, and Zurich. Formerly renowned as a spa town, St. Moritz brought global visitors and royal families to take the Mauritius spring's therapeutic iron-rich waters.
From the late 1860s, its idyllic location became the birthplace of modern Alpine tourism. That's when several hotels opened to accommodate walkers, hikers, and skiers. Besides, the Grand was designed to be the most elegant and luxurious hotel in the area, benefitting its proximity to the spa waters.
Today it is popular with skiers who find the hotel is within easy reach of the cable car, taking them to the snowy pistes at Corviglia and Corvatsch.
The Grand went through renovations over the years. In the Kempinski management group's tradition, the hotel retains the original building's refined elegance and splendor blended with supreme modern comforts.
Pastel color tones and sky-blue shutters soften the magnificent façade so that the effect is both grand and welcoming. The staff also strive to be efficient but warm and hospitable too.
The entrance hall has been carefully restored based on old sketches and records of the earlier style. What’s more, many of the inherited etchings and paintings decorate the walls throughout the hotel.
The hotel décor is an opulent mix of classic style, antique pieces, and bright, comfortable modern seating. The lobby is a perfect example of this, with pillars, high decorated ceiling, and deeply upholstered ruby plush sofas and chairs. This is the place to enjoy high tea with delicious Swiss pastries or a club sandwich served any time.
The mellow-toned bar offers exceptional cocktails and other drinks, a bar menu, and background music. Chilled champagne any time.
