© ABCGrand Hotel is the latest series, executive produced by Eva, which stars a mostly-Latino cast. Grand Hotel is based on the Spanish series Gran Hotel. The new ABC drama will focus on the Mendoza family, who run the last family-owned hotel in Miami. According to promos, the series centers around a “five-star hotel, with five-star secrets.” Eva, 44, opened up about bringing the series to the United States with a special flare.
“It was an original Spanish format that was a period piece that happened in the 1800s and I was obsessed with it,” she told Entertainment Tonight. "I was like ‘I wanna contemporize that. What would a family-owned hotel look like today with the upstairs and the downstairs? What happens if we set it in Miami, which is a sexy character in itself? What happens if we populate it with all these wonderful and beautiful people?’”
In addition to Eva and Roselyn, the series also stars Demián Bichir, Bryan Craig and Wendy Raquel Robinson. The Puerto Rican beauty, and HOLA! USA cover star opened up about her character Gigi, which was created by BFF Eva especially for her. “She’s fierce, fabulous, unapologetic, complicated, and a wonderful mother,” she said inside the magazine. “But, then again, she has weird motives behind everything. And it’s awesome.”
