Originally opened in 1928, this beautifully restored hotel artfully blends modern amenities with classic charm and wows with its grand staircase and dramatic chandeliers. The property offers an excellent location adjacent to Saks Fifth Avenue and is convenient for hopping on the famous Powell Street Cable Car. Enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean crafted with locally sourced Californian ingredients in the stylish Post Room restaurant. Be sure to try a whisky at the Hidden Library, which pays homage to the hotel’s Prohibition-era past.

Beacon Grand Expert Review

A great hotel in a fantastic location.
The lobby is stunning and The Post Room restaurant on the mezzanine level is great for breakfast or a coffee (there is also a happy hour from 1:30-4:00pm on Sundays-Thursdays).
The location is great, in the heart of Union Square, with a handy tram stop right outside which makes the rest of the city very accessible.
TOP TIP
Head to the Starlite bar on the 21st floor for fantastic views over the city alongside cocktails and live music.

Trailfinders Hotel Classification Guide
Modest accommodation with basic facilities, representing good value where price is the main priority.
Simple, comfortable accommodation and facilities offering good value for the destination.
Good standard of accommodation and/or facilities and overall a higher level of service may be expected.
High international standards of accommodation and facilities where luxury and quality of service are priorities.
Indicates that the property offers a higher than average level of accommodation and facilities when compared to other properties of the same classification.
Unique, often smaller and sometimes historic properties, which offer individual charm and are consequently very popular. They offer the standards of accommodation indicated by their classification but rooms may be smaller than average and not all facilities may be available.
Trailfinders classifications are for your guidance only and do not mirror any international "star rating" system. In each case, the full description of the property should be read and used in conjunction with the classification indicated. A 3★ city hotel, for example, may be more expensive than a 4★ if it is in a prime location. Classifications are unique to a destination and can reflect local or regional variations in quality and service, so a 5★ in a particular area may not be comparable with a 5★ elsewhere.
