We have stayed in San Francisco at least 25 times in the last 20 years but this was our first stay at the Grand Beacon. The Hotel is not old, but historic, iconic, and grand. I am nostalgic and love classic design. If you are looking for the very modern, this may not be your choice. The lobby is beautiful, and you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner in a fine restaurant right on the premises. There is also a Starbucks conveniently right next door. The room was clean and unlike many older, refurbished hotels in the city, we were not crowded for space. The hotel is within walking distance of some great shopping, restaurants, bars, taverns, taprooms, China Town, and the Masonic, where we saw a show. There is also a beautiful 21st floor bar with a lovely view of the city. The staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. We will definitely stay at the Grand Beacon again.
Located in San Francisco’s quaint Nob Hill neighborhood, this hotel near the Golden Gate Bridge and Union Square offers on-site dining. Guest rooms feature city or bay views and free WiFi.

Home to one of America’s icons – the Golden Gate Bridge – San Francisco is a liberal city where life is very much for the living.
Surrounded by water on 3 sides, the city's spread over steep hills that make for great photo ops. And none better than the zig-zag Lombard Street, seen in many a film. Even more famous are San Fran's iconic trolleys climbing the hills – a little touristy, but still worth a ride.
In the middle of the bay, Alcatraz island is known for the notorious criminals once imprisoned there. Even if you don’t go inside, the views of the bridge and city are unparalleled.
Nowhere is life in San Francisco more laid-back than on the Pacific beaches. Rent a bike and head out there, passing through the huge Golden Gate Park, before returning to sample some fresh seafood at Fisherman’s Wharf. Don't miss the clam chowder served in bread bowls! Chinatown also has a great selection of mid-range restaurants.
As you fly into San Francisco Airport, look out for the exclusive homes lining the Bay Area. Whether you want a more independent stay in apartments, luxury San Francisco hotels or cheap hostels, Booking.com has something for everyone. Be careful though – you might just leave your heart here!

I go to San Francisco frequently for concerts, and I love staying overnight and going out for dinner and cocktails. Union Square was pleasant with Flowers in Bloom, a local theme to beautify the Union Square area. Casual pre-show bite to eat at Osha Thai in the TL. My show was at the Great American Music Hall, I had breakfast at The Post Room in the Beacon Grand Hotel, and coffee and desserts from Miller & Lux Provisions Cafe.

Lots to see, a long weekend is the perfect amount of time.
Lots to see, a long weekend is the perfect amount of time. The hop on hop off bus is great to get you *close* to destinations, but don’t plan on seeing from the bus unless you hop off! The trip to see the Golden State bridge was great!
Despite it being super touristy, the Wharf hosted some really good restaurants and shopping was great. The trips to Alcatraz sell out, so buy ahead of time if you can! (They leave from pier 33). We saw magician Jay Alexander at the Marrakesh club.. he was amazing!!! Highly reccomend the show!… last, dress in layers! Have fun!

We originally booked a hotel in Union Square, but upon arrival, immediately changed hotel to one out on Fisherman's Wharf. My partner and I didn't feel safe or comfortable in the city, and we weren't about to walk the streets like we originally planned. Unfortunately, drugs and homelessness are rife in the city.
While Fisherman's Wharf is packed with tourists, we felt a lot safer and were able to enjoy walking along the bay during the day. Plus, there were plenty of food and gift shop options to keep us occupied.
A tour of Alcatraz is a must if you are visiting San Fran, and going to a baseball game at Oracle Park was also a memorable experience.

I am not much of a city person, but I had to visit San Francisco to do some Visa work. It’s very easy to get around, locals are helpful, and the “Downtown” Is not congested. I was amazed at the cleanliness of the area I stayed in and how the neighbourhoods are decorated and gardens planted by the residents. There are some seedy areas, but if you avoid these, you have plenty of nice areas and fun things to do. The ambience and architecture remind me of southern Europe. I was warned about the rain, but I had 4 days of clear skies. It was May, but cooler than I expected, and windy. I would have been more comfortable with a hooded coat. The atmosphere is relaxed, casual, and friendly.
Stayed here for a week. Room is very clean and roomier than expected. There is a walk-in closet in the room which is very convenient for storing your purchases and luggage. The location was perfect right across Saks Fifth Avenue in Union Square. All day free coffee and tea in the lobby, and every other day popcorn. Microwave is also available. Staff was very lovely. Enough eating and breakfast options in less than 2 minute walk. This is the hotel to stay in San Francisco.
Located in the heart of San Francisco adjacent to Union Square, very close to cable car and tram services. Lovely hotel with extremely accommodating staff. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at about 10am and were able to check-in to our room, even though stated check-in time was not until 3pm. A great stay. Although we didn't use it (it was a little cool when we were in San Fran) the pool area looked lovely with plenty of lounges and a sparkling clean pool.
This hotel is in a superb location, just a few steps away from Union Square and very close to the cable car line to Fisherman's Wharf. Being in a city, the rooms are a little smaller than you would normally get but they are still a good size, clean and homely after a long day out sight seeing. The staff are very friendly and helpful and we would most definitely stay here again when visiting San Francisco.
I've stayed at numerous Union Square hotels in the last 15 years and this is by far the best for that budget. Recently renovated, the rooms are bright, quiet, large and with all modern comfort. The lobby and bar area are gorgeous. The 3 elevators ensure you never wait more than 30 seconds to get to or from your room. The staff is helpful and nice, and there is a breakfast restaurant within the building.
In San Francisco downtown, near Union Square. The stuff was very friendly and helping. Bathroom very clean. Sheets were clean but matress was covered in a certain protection that indicates they had issues with bed bugs (we had no problem with). I don't understand why they don't gjve up at that horrible fitted carpet that is so hard to clean and encourages the existance of bed bugs.
The hotel is very nice. The room was very clean, the bed comfortable, and the bathroom spacious and clean. There was a nice wardrobe to put your clothes. Staff was very friendly, and location excellent! A couple of blocks away from the cable car, Union Square and right next to China town. In front of a very nice French Cafe to have breakfast. Lively and friendly area.
Very accommodating staff. Assistance with luggage provided on arrival. We requested highest floor possible in quiet area and were not disappointed. Great view from our window. Quiet. Comfortable room and beds. Wonderful touches in room and hotel in general, despite covid regulations. A few blocks from Union Square. Very centrally located.
The gym in this hotel is amazing, something that I haven't seen in years in a hotel. The staff is also one of the best I've seen in many years, they assisted promptly to all of our requests. And the location cannot be better in San Francisco. I've stayed in a couple of hotels in this area and this is the best one hands down.
Near Union Square, Powell station and the cable cars, that's great!
Very cosy, clean and cool hotel
Great restaurants nearby
Angela, Vivian, Danielle and George are the best!!
There's coffee, tea and pastries every morning; we pay for it in amenities fees, but it is great to have it
The staff were so friendly, the room was great. we arrived super early in the morning and got a room immediately and we were even upgraded because we celebrated our honeymoon. The hotel has the best location ever in the middle of Union Square I highly recommend it!
Very friendly staff. Beautiful, historical hotel with rooms with a San Francisco historical theme. We slept on the top floor in the back, which offers the best views. Chinatown is round the corner, so is Union Square. For other destinations busses work very well.
Cute boutique hotel in the heart of Union Square. Very basic hotel, but it has all the necessities. Staff were friendly, it was comfortable, and fairly priced. Not very spacious, but understandably so since it is a historic building in the heart of downtown.
The location is great, very close to the Union Square.
The staff is friendly.
They have a happy hour in the afternoon when they offer free drinks in their bistro area.
The hotel is interesting, it has somehow an exhibition in the honor of the military.
Is was very clean, the hotel smelled nice. There was a big common area with games and a bar which was very useful since everything closes at 9 in SF.
It is very close to everything. I think this is the best location you can get as a tourist in San Francisco
Great value. The hotel and our room were clean. It was an older hotel but kept up nicely. It was on the border of Union Square and an area known for not being particularly nice, but we always felt safe. It was a great value for the price.
The hotel also hosts the San Francisco Playhouse. Currently they’re showing a chorus line, which we went and saw. But they have shows throughout the year in the theater is an excellent place to visit if you’re staying near Union Square.
This hotel is just on the edge of the popular Union Square area. It was close enough to walk to points of interest, but just out of range of crowds and noise. The staff was especially attentive and friendly.
Hotel is located in a quiet Street in downtown. 3 blocks to union square. Bus stop is at the door.
The suite is very clean with high standard upgrade. The staff is very helpful.
If you wish to spend more time at the piers a d tourist places this is a great location. Union square has some great hotels but it’s more of a business area.
