Dining

The Beacon Bar and Grill
The Beacon Bar & Grill (BB&G) serves Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Sunday Brunch. It has appeal for hotel guests and local-area residents alike. A sleek modern fireplace, communal tables, multi-level dining options and rich fabrics and furnishings create a sense of urban flair. Offering four distinctive dining experiences under one roof, BB&G caters to the varying lifestyles of its patrons. The space incorporates a high-energy, hob-knob lounge-style area with a two-story atrium room showcasing the bustling Dupont Circle neighborhood, as well as a more casual outdoor caf. As an alternative, private nooks and separate booths offer a quiet setting for business or intimate dining. Yet, the most sought-after seat in the house is the chef's table, a back-dining room where patrons can partake of the chef's distinctive fare fresh off the fire. Whichever dining experience you choose, BB&G's impressive menu offers the contemporary and inspired American cuisine to suit any mood.

Very good business hotel

The Beacon Hotel was perfect for my business trip. It was an easy walk to all my meetings. I got a free room upgrade on checkin. The room was very comfortable. It is a bit of a hike to the Metro/Natl Mall, but for business purposes, I strongly recommend this hotel.

One night only

We came to this hotel for a family outing to Washington DC over thanksgiving. The staff was very polite on check in, and they upgraded us to a 'junior suite' which really wasn't a suite at all, but did have a kitchenette - including a frig, little stove, sink and microwave. But the hotel lobby and hall areas were very dated, and not very well kept up. Same for the rooms. It was quiet enough, but next time I will stay in another hotel. For one night, it's fine; for 5 nights, you want a bit more luxury. The location, about 3-4 blocks from the Metro, was quite good, and it was a nice neighborhood, too.

great value and location

Beacon has the feel of a boutique hotel - small lobby and limited amenities, but rooms are clean and comfortable and the decor is fine; the junior suite was a great value and the location is excellent.

Great and reasonable

We had a fabulous time @ this hotel on our trip to DC. We were just a few blocks from the White House and a great location for some light shopping. The lobby was being remodeled when we arrived on Monday evening, but my Wednesday morning, it was all completed and looked wonderful! The rooms were large and the bed was so comfortable. We also enjoyed the free continental breakfast to start our day. The restaurant on site was nice with great decor. All and all we had no complaints I would definitely recommend the hotel to friends in the future!

Cozy hotel

The Beacon was a cozy hotel and the room had nice street views, lacked modern day conveniences like a microwave and a fridge. The single king bedroom was a bit smaller than expected. The staff were courteous. Loved the breakfast!
