Reimagined Spaces
for gathering

Fiercely independent, strikingly original, and impossible to confine to convention, Alice Roosevelt moved through Washington with wit, charisma, and a spirit that even a president struggled to contain. The Beacon carries that same energy forward with thoughtfully reimagined gathering spaces designed for meetings, celebrations, and occasions that deserve more than a predictable ballroom. Newly renovated and rich with personality, the Princess Alice Ballroom and flexible event venues bring warmth, polish, and just the right amount of social intrigue to gatherings in the heart of Washington, DC.

Meetings with
  More personality

With more than 6,000 square feet of newly renovated meeting and event space, natural light, seasonal outdoor venues, and a location moments from Dupont Circle and downtown DC, The Beacon is designed for groups that prefer their meetings productive, comfortable, and refreshingly well hosted.
