Grand Hotel is a 1932 American drama directed by Edmund Goulding for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, adapted from Vicki Baum's novel and play. Set among the guests of a Berlin hotel, including a dying accountant, a jewel thief, a Russian ballerina, a stenographer and an industrialist, the film weaves their intersecting stories of theft, romance and tragedy. It won the Academy Award for Best Picture without receiving a nomination in any other category, the only film ever to do so, and its 360-degree hotel lobby set changed how studio interiors were designed afterward.
