In these over-sized rooms and apartments, feel like a New Yorker in this desirable Upper West Side location. Rooms are larger than in the centre of Manhattan, and your kitchenette means you can fix yourself some breakfast. The famous Lincoln Center is a short walk, together with Central Park, American Museum of Natural History and Rose Center for Earth and Space, and a clutch of off-Broadway theatres.

Perfect Stay on the Upper West Side!

Hotel Beacon is a gem! The location is unbeatable—just steps from Central Park and the subway. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a kitchenette, which was so convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely return!
Would recommend Hotel Beacon, location, location, location

We stayed four nights at Hotel Beacon while in town to visit friends and attend a college graduation. We chose Hotel Beacon because of the location as well as the availability for a king size bed.

I stayed at the Hotel Beacon in New York from March 30 to April 4, and while the stay itself was fine, what happened afterward was completely unacceptable. On April 30, the hotel charged my credit card over €287 without any explanation or prior notice.
Since then, my travel agency and I have been repeatedly contacting the hotel requesting a credit note and a clear explanation for the charge. Despite multiple follow-ups, we have received no response at all. The lack of communication and accountability is extremely unprofessional and disappointing, especially from a hotel of this level.
Until this issue is resolved, I cannot recommend the Hotel Beacon. Travelers deserve transparency and respect—neither of which we received.

We are so grateful to all of the staff at Hotel Beacon. We had a family emergency and needed to converge on the Upper West Side of NYC. From our first call with the reservation team to the check-in at the front desk to the housekeeping staff, everyone was welcoming, gracious, responsive and helpful. We are so grateful.

From our first call with the reservation team to the check-in at the front desk to the housekeeping staff, everyone was welcoming, gracious, responsive and helpful. We are so grateful.
We booked 2 2-bedroom suites and 1 studio. All of these were comfortable and spotlessly clean.
The location is also ideal for so many reasons.
Hotel Beacon -- many thanks.
