Boutique hotels Downtown San Francisco

Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel, is a truly exceptional stay that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury. From the moment you step into the grand lobby, you’re welcomed by warm, attentive staff who set the tone for an elevated guest experience. Every detail—from the rich architectural heritage to the sophisticated design elements—evokes a timeless elegance that feels both storied and refined. Hotel manager Lev graciously offered us a private tour, highlighting the thoughtful preservation of its historic features while showcasing contemporary enhancements. The rooms are tastefully appointed, offering a level of comfort and opulence that reflects the hotel’s heritage, and the newly renovated bathrooms are particularly impressive. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown San Francisco, the hotel offers easy access to public transit including the subway, historic tram carts, Waymo, Uber, and Lyft—making exploration seamless. The crown jewel is the top floor, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the city skyline—a must-see whether you’re staying for business or leisure. The on-site bar is a pleasant surprise, offering refined drinks at a price point that feels accessible given the upscale ambiance. In every sense, Beacon Grand is more than just a place to stay—it’s a destination in itself. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique, luxurious experience in the heart of San Francisco.

Very clean Hotel with a friendly staff

Thank you for your kindness, politeness, and friendliness

The hotel was great. One thing I would mention is when I checked in, the room wasn’t clean

Everything was great.

I had a problem with some last minute items for my work and the receptionist (female) wen above and beyond to help me. She saved my presentation. Thank you.
