About this album

Grand Hotel is a polished symphonic rock statement from Procol Harum, balancing ornate arrangements with the group’s gift for sharp, literate songwriting. Released in 1973, the album finds the band refining the grand, classically inflected style that had set them apart since A Whiter Shade of Pale. Written by Gary Brooker and Keith Reid, it pairs theatrical detail with melodic restraint, with the title track and songs such as Toujours L'Amour and A Souvenir Of London showing the band's flair for irony, atmosphere and scale. It stands as one of the group’s most distinctive later-period albums.

Genre: Pop & Rock
