Hotel Beacon

Spacious Upper West Side Retreat Just Steps from the Music

Modern comfort meets classic New York charm at Hotel Beacon, located in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Known for its spacious rooms and suites with kitchenettes and living rooms, this hotel is a top pick for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing comfort. With Central Park just a short walk away and the subway practically at your doorstep, getting around the city is a breeze.

Whether you're catching a show next door at the Beacon Theater or heading to Lincoln Center, Hotel Beacon puts you close to the action while offering a peaceful place to unwind afterward.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t get much closer to the music — the hotel is literally adjacent to the Beacon Theater, and just a short ride from other top venues like Lincoln Center. Guests love the quiet lobby and spacious rooms for a calm post-show wind-down. With a subway station just 531 feet away, heading out for late-night eats or afterparties is simple. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is a relaxed 12:00 PM, giving you time to recover after a big night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a spacious suite with a sofa bed and kitchenette
- Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist and wanting a safe, central base
- Couples making a romantic weekend of music and museums
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space near the park
- Budget-conscious music fans who appreciate in-room kitchens to save on meals

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have a full restaurant on-site, every room comes with a microwave, refrigerator, and coffeemaker — perfect for late-night snacks or morning-after coffee. You’ll find plenty of local eateries within walking distance, and many stay open late. Grab breakfast at a nearby café or stock up your fridge for a DIY brunch after sleeping in.

Nightlife Options

You’re right in the mix — from live music at the Beacon Theater next door to chic lounges and bars along Broadway. Head south to Lincoln Center for a more upscale night out or explore cozy neighborhood spots just around the corner. Whether it’s cocktails or craft beers, there’s something for every post-concert vibe.

What People Say

Many appreciate the quiet atmosphere and professional, helpful staff. The Upper West Side feel — less hustle, more charm — is a standout feature for repeat visitors.

Areas for Improvement

While many love the in-room kitchens, some guests mention that the hotel lacks a full-service restaurant or bar. Others note that the decor leans more classic than trendy — but if you’re here for the music and the city, that’s a small trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show at the Beacon Theater or exploring NYC's music scene, Hotel Beacon offers the perfect mix of location, comfort, and post-show peace.
