Union Square, San Francisco

4 stars

Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel places you in the heart of San Francisco, beside the shops, galleries, theatres and cable cars of Union Square. This historic hotel blends 1920s craftsmanship with contemporary touches, from high ceilings and European oak floors to integrated technology, eco-luxury toiletries and comfortable guest rooms. The Post Room is a café, bar and brasserie beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, serving everything from breakfast and brunch to brasserie favourites, cocktails and wine. For an evening with a little more sparkle, head up to Starlite on the 21st floor for San Francisco-inspired cocktails, small plates and an all-vinyl soundtrack. There’s also a 24-hour Fitness Studio with Peloton bikes, treadmills, free weights and more, while the Social Hosts can help with local recommendations and reservations. It’s a characterful city base for exploring Chinatown, Nob Hill, the Theatre District, Fisherman’s Wharf and beyond.

“Will always stay at this hotel”

Sep 05, 2026Megan S

This is our fourth time staying at the Beacon Grand. Staff is amazing, rooms are clean and we love the Starlite lounge on the 21st floor. Can’t wait to visit again in October!

“Starlight room city view is spectacular. Great for birthday fun!”

Sep 03, 2026Brittany W

Lovely time in San Francisco - always had a great time overall. Thank you for taking good care of my partner for his birthday. The Starlight Room was fun, but wasn’t the same without the dancing. Hoping to be back next time and there will be!

“Good hotel, older property, pretty good staff, great location.”

Good experience overall, classic rooms are small!!! Water temperature and room temperature are regulated, so beware.
