You may have your hotel packing list down pat and ready to go, but Hotel Beacon isn’t like other hotels. Here, you’ll find a different level of comfort and convenience.

If you want to feel at home while in the city, that’s why we’re here. All of our rooms come furnished with fully-equipped kitchenettes, complete with stoves, refrigerators, and coffee makers, allowing you to enjoy the plethora of family-owned grocery stores and bustling delis that are so emblematic of the Upper West Side.

This and more make Hotel Beacon a little different than the usual hotel experience, so here are some items you might want to add (or subtract) from your packing list:

Laundry Detergent — We have laundry services — all self-service, with coin- and credit-card-operated washing machines and dryers on the fifth floor of the hotel, which is great if you’re planning to stay a while or if you want to add few days on to the end of your stay.

No Umbrella — There’s one in your room!

Exercise Clothes — Our fitness center is equipped with treadmills, ellipticals, a stationary recumbent bike, and a weight machine — everything you need to stay active.

Walking Shoes — The Upper West Side offers some great places to walk, including and especially Central Park. We have maps at the concierge!

Favorite Kitchen Items — If there’s a particular spice or seasoning you like or maybe a measuring cup you can’t live without, bring it along. Little items like that are easy to pack and will make cooking in your room even easier and more enjoyable, especially if you’re on a special diet.

So, get packing! Check out our latest offers to save on your stay with us and we’ll see you soon.
