    Lovely hotel experience

    Beautiful hotel, wonderful rooftop bar, lovely breakfast. The location was perfectly situated right in the heat of Union Square. Jojit at the front desk was welcoming and accommodating. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit SF in a prime location. Looking forward to my next stay here.

    Alex and Angelo are the stars!

    Alex and Angelo are the best and so helpful and nice! We had a great interaction with them every time! The hotel is clean and charming. So many beautiful details. The starlite bar is very cool too and was surprisingly bumping on a Thursday. Would definitely go back!

    Short but Sweet

    We had a short but enjoyable stay at the Beacon Grand. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and well looked after. Special thanks to Alex and Angelo, who helped us with our luggage and ensured we were settled comfortably in our room. Their warm, professional manner and attention to detail left a lasting impression, and it was clear that guest comfort is a top priority at this hotel. Thank you again to Alex, Angelo and the team for your hospitality—we’ll definitely be back!

    Lovely public areas

    The hotel's common areas are lovely. The lobby's historic features and ornate and impressive. Guests spent time enjoying the two seating areas in the lobby. The Starlight Room is neat. The hotel is right on the Powell Street cable car line. I liked the flowers in the lobby. I liked the dark color scheme of my room, The bed was comfortable. The bedding was high quality.

    Perfect place to stay in San Francisco

    This hotel is a great place to stay if you’re ever in San Francisco. The treatment is second to none, specially if you get to deal with Jojit at the reception, Jojit’s welcoming and professionalism makes the experience even better. I’ve stayed several times and I’ll definitely stay here again.
