Beacon Grand

Our Hotel. Your Story. Since 1928, this hotel has served as an icon of San Francisco’s progress and hospitality. San Francisco was birthed by dreamers. Hustlers and strivers; writers and musicians; rebels and revolutionaries. All have made this place their own. Steeped in that heritage, the Beacon Grand invites you to connect with tradition, dream the future, and claim this city as your own. As a vibrant social beacon, we are once again welcome locals and guests to San Francisco’s “living room,” drawn by the gleam of a rooftop star. Like the city-defining world’s fairs that bookended its debut, the hotel celebrates those who built (and rebuilt) San Francisco and welcomes those arriving next. A bridge from old to new, the city to you. For nearly 100 years, Sir Francis Drake Hotel has called upon guests, visitors, and locals alike to come together, celebrate, and make history. Our new moniker, Beacon Grand, distinguishes our latest experiences and celebrates our iconic status and forever purpose as a social circle at Union Square. The hotel opened a new chapter in 2022, re-dedicated to serving as a social beacon at the heart of The City. Under the stewardship of Northview Hotel Group, operators of landmark hospitality destinations across the nation, the storied past shines again and lights the way for staff, guests, and San Franciscans alike. As Cable Cars rumble past the front door, revamped rooms and celebrated public spaces will emerge within. A new social circle on Union Square again lures people to the heart of The City, where history is forever starting now.
