Description
from www.beaconhotel.com:
“Named for its original airway beacon located on the roof of the hotel, Hotel Beacon harks back to a lesser-known time in New York City history, one in which the country was young, prosperous and enthusiastic about the advancements of the day, most notably the rising popularity of flight.
Located at the corner of Broadway and W 75th, Hotel Beacon is one of the few remaining residential hotels, and one of the few places in Manhattan where you can find spacious rooms and numerous two-bedroom suites.”

Mobility information:The following are excerpts from Havewheelchairwilltravel.net:
"We arrived at the hotel and found a level entry and a ramp in the lobby providing access to the lifts.
While at the hotel I did an inspection of an accessible room and it was extremely well appointed. The kitchenette had wheelchair access under the kitchen sink.
There were lowered light switches throughout and the bathroom was well designed. It had a roll-in shower, shower seat with hand held shower and grab rails throughout.
In the bedroom a sliding door on the closet revealed a lowered hanging rack and a safe at a good level."
