Hotel Beacon

A classic Upper West Side establishment, the Hotel Beacon offers a residential-style experience that feels deeply connected to its storied neighborhood. Its pre-war architecture gives it a sense of permanence and character, a quality that extends to its generously proportioned rooms and suites. The hotel’s defining feature is the inclusion of kitchenettes in every accommodation, a rare and valuable amenity in New York City. This practical touch makes the Beacon a favorite for families, extended-stay visitors, and anyone who appreciates the convenience of having a place to prepare a meal or a cup of coffee.

The atmosphere is one of understated comfort and traditional New York charm. The lobby is a welcoming space, often buzzing with guests and locals, and the rooms are designed to be both functional and relaxing. With comfortable furnishings, ample closet space, and classic marble bathrooms, the accommodations provide a true home-away-from-home feel. The hotel’s location on Broadway puts it at the heart of a vibrant residential and cultural area, with tree-lined streets, historic brownstones, and a wealth of local shops and restaurants creating a rich and authentic neighborhood experience.

Beyond its comfortable rooms, the Hotel Beacon is known for its proximity to some of the city’s most beloved cultural institutions. It is just a short walk from Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. This prime location allows guests to easily transition from the quiet, residential feel of the Upper West Side to the world-class entertainment and green spaces that define this part of Manhattan. Moreover, the hotel is directly adjacent to the historic Beacon Theatre, a legendary venue that hosts a variety of concerts and performances, adding to the cultural vibrancy of the immediate area.
