The film holds an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 50 reviews, with an average rating of 7.6/10. The site's consensus reads: "Perhaps less a true film than a series of star-studded vignettes, ''Grand Hotel'' still remains an entertaining look back at a bygone Hollywood era."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/grand_hotel/|title=Grand Hotel|website=Rotten Tomatoes}}</ref>

Writing in 2009, Blake Goble of ''[[The Michigan Daily]]'' called it "the original ''[[Ocean's 11 (1960 film)|Ocean's Eleven]]'' for its star power", and compared it to ''[[Gosford Park]]'' "for its dense structure and stories". He added "[T]he pacing is quick, the acting is eloquent, and the stories are actually interesting. It's pure theatricality. But ''Hotel'' lasted thanks to its simplicity, and the star power doesn't hurt either. This is grand, old Hollywood captured on film."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.michigandaily.com/node/47167 |title=Film Vault: Grand Hotel |last1=Goble |first1=Blake |date=January 25, 2009 |website=The Michigan Daily |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120131101758/http://www.michigandaily.com/node/47167 |archive-date=January 31, 2012 }}</ref>

In 2022, Leila Jordan of ''[[Paste (magazine)|Paste]]'' magazine noted the film as highly influential: "Recognizable names, intersecting stories and a cast that makes you go “wait they’re in this too?” Grand Hotel didn’t invent the genre, but it was the first to assemble the pieces into a sensational hit."<ref name="paste">{{cite web |last1=Jordan |first1=Leila |title=Simply the Best: The Strange Legacy of 1932's Grand Hotel |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/oscars/grand-hotel-oscar-best-picture-ensemble-cast |website=[[Paste (magazine)|Paste]] |publisher=Paste Media Group |access-date=June 18, 2024 |date=November 18, 2022}}</ref>
