Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel, San Francisco

The Beacon Grand sits 200 metres from Union Square on Powell Street, where the iconic cable car stops directly in front of the hotel. Guests are within walking distance of Chinatown's cultural offerings and the Theater District's multiple performance venues. The hotel earned a spot on the Travel + Leisure It List in 2023 and the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards in 2023.

Each of the 408 rooms is air-conditioned and comes with a desk, a coffee machine, a fridge, a safety deposit box, and a flat-screen TV. Some rooms feature a walk-in closet and blackout curtains that keep the room dark for sleeping. Guests can request rooms with views of Union Square or the city skyline.

The Post Room restaurant serves farm-to-table menus and hosts a rotating Wine Dinner Series curated by renowned chefs. The Starlite rooftop bar on the 21st floor offers panoramic views of San Francisco and is open Thursday through Sunday. A coffee house on site and a bar in the lobby provide additional drink options.

The fitness center is equipped with four Pelotons, free weights, treadmills, rowing machines, and ellipticals. The hotel provides 17,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event spaces, and a 24-hour front desk with concierge service. Pet-friendly policies allow furry companions, and valet parking is available.
