The 4-star Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel redefines San Francisco hospitality from its Renaissance-style high-rise where historic cable cars whiz past the front door on Powell Street, just a block from Union Square.

Contemporary Room Features

Beacon Grand accommodates guests in rooms featuring high ceilings, European oak floors, and integrated technology including 55-inch UHD TVs with Chromecast. Each space offers plush-top gel-foam mattresses, blackout shades, PATH water stations, and eco-luxury C.O. Bigelow toiletries.

Distinctive Dining Options

The Post Room serves Mediterranean-California fusion cuisine and hosts the rotating Wine Dinner Series featuring California winemakers paired with farm-to-table menus. The Hidden Library offers select bourbon, single malts, and ryes crafted as classic three-ingredient cocktails.

Business and Leisure

A 24-hour fitness studio on the third floor provides Peloton bikes, treadmills, and weight equipment. The Beacon Grand offers 17000 square feet of meeting space including the legendary Starlite Room on the 21st floor.

Central Transit Access

Located in Downtown San Francisco's business center, the hotel provides direct access to the Powell Street cable car line to Fisherman's Wharf. BART station and Market Street transportation connect guests to key city destinations.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city with great styling. The rooms were clean but quite small, making it tricky to move around with luggage. The staff provided excellent service and made us feel welcome. However, the dining options were pricey and not the best, which was a letdown.
