Live Music

For your listening and dancing pleasure, we offer a variety of exceptional live music throughout the day and night.

Evenings at Grand Hotel begin with the sound of music while enjoying dinner in the hotel’s Main Dining Room. After dinner, a harpist performs classical standards and popular songs in the Parlor during demitasse. Then before your evening ends, enjoy a nightcap and dancing in the Terrace Room to the tunes of the Grand Hotel Orchestra.
