Beacon Grand for my 50th
Travelled on 01/2026
I stayed at the Beacon Grand in San Francisco to celebrate my 50th Birthday and was blown away! First, the hotel is located in the heart of downtown San Francisco. There is a cable car that runs right in front of the hotel! Talk about convenience! Second, the inside of the hotel is STUNNING! The lobby, the bar, our room...absolutely beautiful! Third, the hospitality was exceptional! We were greeted by the doorman who...

Our room was a family room with two queen beds. My sister had a separate room for herself too. Although the bat...

Classic San Francisco Style in a Great Walking Location
Travelled on 01/2026
We spent one night at the Beacon Grand Hotel, formerly the iconic Sir Francis Drake. Overall, it was a pleasant stay. Our room was nicely appointed with San Francisco-inspired wallpaper and double-paned windows that kept things quiet.
The front desk staff were friendly, and we appreciated the early check-in. The bathroom was small, and the shower stall was especially tight, likely due to the buildings historic 1920...
