Each and every performer in the screened "Grand Hotel" does a remarkable piece of work. To us, Garbo is the supreme of magnificence.

A commercial picture of high box office potential, first by assembling the most impressive aggregation so far of strictly Bradstreet screen names, and then by filming the play practically unaltered in form.
Alfred Rushford Greason, Variety
Rotten
Less effective as a movie than as a dazzling parade of star iconography.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
The Nashville of its day, Grand Hotel's reputation has outgrown its actual quality
Andrew Nickolds, Time Out
Fresh
It is a production thoroughly worthy of all the talk it has created and the several motion-picture luminaries deserve to feel very proud of their performances, particularly Greta Garbo and Lionel Barrymore.
