Description

Located within the Beacon Grand, a 418-room independent luxury hotel at the corner of Powell and Sutter Streets in Union Square, the café space benefits from a prominent location directly along the iconic Powell Street cable car line.

Originally opened in 1928 as the Sir Francis Drake Hotel, the property underwent an extensive renovation and reopened in 2022 as the Beacon Grand. Today, the hotel combines restored historic architecture with renovated guest rooms, dining and lounge spaces, and flexible meeting and event space, providing multiple sources of potential customer traffic from hotel guests, visitors, event attendees and surrounding Union Square foot traffic.

The café space offers a corner opportunity for an operator to establish a prominent food and beverage concept within the hotel, with direct exposure to Powell Street and the constant activity of the cable car line. The location provides the potential to capture hotel guests and visitors, while also benefiting from the surrounding pedestrian traffic and activity of Union Square.
