Beacon's debut marks a momentous milestone for the luxurious property, which initially opened its doors in December 2020.

I like the spot very sultry and dark; the smaller bar section is great for a date night, the other side is more lively. Love the views as well :-) Way better view than the Edition.

nice view, interesting access to restaurant and i'm fine with that, ambiance effect ect, good size kitchen for such a limited menu but what was offered was good, service was good, one bartender wanted to be something else but it's (again) fine, i'd go again when it's nicer so we could sit outside

Our waiter took care of us. I would totally go back again, pork belly buns and winter flatbread were tasteful, dirty martini 🍸 was good. Rooftop vibes was lit 🔥

Came for pre-dinner drinks and to catch the sunset. The sunset view was absolutely stunning. I’m not a Tequila drinker but tried the Zalamero based upon the servers recommendation, and it was delish. Tried the Pork belly buns and the Pomme Pave which were both very good. Definitely a place to try!
