The film Grand Hotel was remade as Week-End at the Waldorf (1945).
Baum first adapted the novel herself later in 1929 for an eponymous play, and it was adapted again in 1930 in the United States by William A. Drake and in 1931 in Britain by Edward Knoblock as Grand Hotel.
A very successful English translation, by Basil Creighton, was published in 1930 by Geoffrey Bles, London.

These interlocking histories may be damp with sentimentality as well as brine—but the author's skill as a storyteller invests them with enough suspense to last the desperate journey."
