Beacon Grand
The Sir Francis Drake, reborn as Beacon Grand: two decades and more than $40M of work across a single landmark hotel. When the Starlite Room needed to relaunch, Centric turned it around in seven weeks, inside a live, operating hotel.
A repeat relationship like this is the proof of the model: continuity of crew, open-book pricing, and the flexibility to move fast without a single revenue floor going dark. Twenty years in, the hotel still calls Centric for the work that can't go wrong.
Scope of work
- Two decades of phased renovation across a live hotel
- Starlite Room relaunch in seven weeks
- Guest-room and public-space finishes
- Occupied-building phasing to protect revenue floors
- Historic landmark coordination
- Open-book pricing and continuity of crew
“Twenty years, $40M+, and the Starlite relaunched in seven weeks, inside a hotel that never closed.”
