The Beacon Grand was bustling over the holiday weekend, and the hotel looked great with its recent makeover. The rooms retained their historic character, but felt modern and very comfortable as well. The staff were great, and make sure to check out the 360 views from the Starlight lounge on the 21st floor looking out over Union Square and all the vistas of SF.

Lovely Stay
Amazing stay over the Christmas holiday weekend. Staff were friendly, valet expensive $80/day, but excellent. Beacon Hotel is a mix of old world and modern feel. We had a junior suite and it was roomy, quiet, and the bedding and linens were to die for. The service was great. We had room service for a cheese plater and it was well made, delivered quickly, and at a reasonable price. Perfect location.
