The Grand Central Hotel opened on Ocrtober 6, 1978 in downtown's historic San Juan at 32 N Orange Avenue. It was a venture of the owners of Fort Lauderdale's Copa and Grand Central. It featured the Studio cabaret and show bar, Golden Era piano bar, Nifty Ladies girls lounge, Yellow Submarine game room, Laguna pool bar, and the Sweetwater restaurant.
Immediately after its opening, a public feud broke out between its principal Kenneth Bray, and Parliament House owners Bill Miller and Mike Hodge, who alluded that Mr. Bray was under investigation for the fire that destroyed their Tampa bar, the El Goya.
Owners of the hotel were listed as:
Man's World Enterprises, Inc.
Roger Luckett, President
Kenneth E. Bray, Vice President
32 N. Orange Avenue
