Grand Hotel (Seasons 1–3)

Grand Hotel (Gran Hotel, 2011) is a Spanish period mystery you can watch online on iFILM, every season included. The year is 1905. Julio Olmedo takes a job as a waiter at a lavish hotel far from anywhere, using the disguise to dig into the disappearance of his sister.

The search soon tangles into something bigger. Julio grows close to Alicia Alarcón, daughter of the hotel's owner, and they fall for each other against every rule — she is promised to Diego, an icy social climber who would kill to run the place. Below the marble lobby and behind the guest-room doors, staff and aristocrats scheme, bodies turn up, and old family secrets refuse to stay buried. Yon González and Amaia Salamanca anchor the romance, while Pedro Alonso plays one of the show's most calculating villains. Every room has its secrets.

Often called Spain's answer to Downton Abbey but wired with a detective plot, the series runs three tight seasons steeped in turn-of-the-century glamour. Perfect if you like costume sagas where love and murder share the same staircase. Stream Grand Hotel online on iFILM.
