Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel
What Guests Say
We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with a short vacation in San Francisco. Staying at the Beacon Hotel in such a central location within walking distance of great food in Chinatown, easy access to public transportation for sightseeing, and the gracious hotel staff made the experience wonderfully memorable. Doris at the reception desk and the day manager even upgraded our room and sent a bottle of wine and chocolates! I loved the fully equipped gym to start my day. My husband loved the wood floors because he hates smelly, dirty wall-to-wall carpeting. The bed, pillows, and towels were all first-rate. The lighting allowed for actual reading or dimming. The cleaning staff was always cheerful and helpful and made the gorgeous building sparkle even on a rainy day. We appreciate the Beacon Hotel's sustainable practices. There were no plastic cups or plastic bags. Instead, we had refillable water bottles by the bedside that we took on our city walks, paper cups for our coffee, and reusable glasses in the bathroom. We will definitely return.

Nice lobby, easy access to elevators to avoid taking luggage upstairs, very clean restrooms in lobby, refill for water bottles, just one block from Union Square

Great location, very centric so it was easy to get to get to all the important places. Beautiful historical building right next to Union Square and close to Chinatown. Very friendly staff and comfortable and clean rooms.

The renovated hotel is gorgeous with a fantastic location. I would also like to send a big thank you to Stuart who assisted with our reservation. When I mentioned in our Booking.com booking that we were celebrating our anniversary Stuart responded that he was booking a special room for us, and boy did he ever. A free upgrade on a high floor with an incredible view! And a few other little perks. We were touched and bowled over. Will definitely stay at the Beacon Grand from now on whenever in San Francisco.

Very thoughtful update of the grand old building, skillfully mixing old and new. Rooms are on the smaller side (historic!), but very ergonomic and comfortable. Great service too.

I really love how modern and updated this hotel is. My room felt clean, sleek, and modern. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the view was even more incredible. I also really love the location of this hotel. You could catch the cable car right from the door of the main entrance, you could walk down to Union Square, or walk over to Chinatown and get some really good food.

All of the staff I interacted with were super friendly and went above and beyond in customer service. A lady working on the bar was very chatty and wrote down a few places of interest that she thought we'd like so I thought that was very kind of her. My friends case bust as she was closing it to head to the airport so the staff were great at helping with that too, a lovely engineer helped duct tape the case (which made it back to Scotland in one piece!). We thought the location was very good, we wanted to walk a lot so it was convenient for that but we also found it convenient for when we wanted to take public transport. It's right on the Powell Street cable car line. We could take a gentle walk to Lombard Street and Fisherman's Warf within 30mins. The hotel was very clean and the room seemed quite newly refurbished.

Great central location in 'Nob Hill', just up from Union Square. Very attractive historic building which has retained many of its older features. We didnt really get to use any facilities as we had to check out at 3am first night to catch a 6am flight. Staff were very helpful and organised a taxi for us at 3am as we didn't want to run the risk of being let down a that time in the morning! Rooms were very pretty and comfortable, although we didn't spend a lot of time in them.

The staff were all amazing and very helpful, which is extremely helpful as my wife is disabled, so we had a lot to coordinate. The history and look of the hotel really adds to the vibe and makes you feel like your stay is an event in itself.
