    Nars at Beacon Grand Hotel

    I went to the bar on the 39th floor where I found Dale directs its activities. Dale is truly exceptional! Any bar or restaurant fortunate enough to have her at the helm will thrive. Her ability to create an inviting atmosphere is unparalleled, and customers can't help but return time and time again. She is, without a doubt, the best in her

    Great hotel

    The room was so nice! The beds were super comfortable and our window had the prettiest view ever of San Francisco! The staff was very nice too! Especially Alex, a staff member who was very helpful with our bags.

    Special Time

    Dear members of Grand Beacon, We stayed at the hotel to celebrate our Goddaughters wedding. I would like to extend a special thanks to John for his kindness, helpfulness, and willingness to assist, always with a smile. Tessa at the restaurant provided amazing and attentive customer service. The lady at the front desk was very kind, and the young man at the front desk was incredibly helpful, even assisting my husband with his tie. Additionally, I appreciate Lef from Customer Relations calling to chat about our experience. He was very kind and invited us to return to the hotel. Overall, our experience was wonderful, largely due to the exceptional service from your staff. Rosa Masis Temple

    Amazing Experience!

    I came here for my 39th birthday and upon arrival, Hannah, at the front desk greeted me with a smile! I mentioned it was my birthday and she upgraded my room. Hannah, thank you for your kindness and amazing greeting. Highly recommend this hotel if you're visiting San Francisco.
