What is Beacon Grand?

The San Francisco landmark, formerly known as the St. Francis Drake Hotel, has been a pinnacle of West Coast hospitality since the 1920s. It preserves its opulent charm and iconic glamor. Don't miss the dedicated spritz menu at the all-day Post Room — a must for post-sightseeing cocktails. And be sure to connect with the hotel's Social Hosts for insider access to the city's coolest happenings, from art exhibitions to secret DJ sets.
