Hotel Nikko

San Francisco Review

Hotel Nikko Reservations

222 Mason Street

Located in downtown San Francisco right by Union Square and the Theater District, the Hotel Nikko is truly one of the most unique places to stay in the city.  The entrance and lobby are furnished in contemporary Japanese style, with gray marble covering the walls and floors in a very sleek, modern design.  A water fountain trickles through the huge lobby, which is filled with modern chairs and tables and overlooks the busy streets.  The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, even when the hotel is busy.  Also throughout the lobby is an art collection, which features different works and artists throughout the year.  The hotel houses its very own art gallery too, which even locals stop by to visit.  The Hotel Nikko looks completely different from any other hotel, and at first its lack of wood paneling, vaulted ceilings, and Persian rugs can be disarming and a bit intimidating.  If you want a traditional hotel with classical furnishings, you might want to check out other hotels in the area.  But if you want a unique experience along with great service and facilities, the Hotel Nikko is a great place to stay.

The Hotel Nikko is Japanese-owned, and is very service-oriented.  The staff are all warm and helpful and are there to make guests feel at home and comfortable.  The hotel's 510 rooms and 22 suites have everything a visitor could want, including high speed internet access and a fax machine.  The hotel houses an atrium-covered swimming pool, a health club, and a fully-equipped business center that even notarizes.  Within the hotel are boutiques, a fine art store, a hair salon, a travel office, a Japanese airlines office, and an Enterprise Rental Car branch.  There is a really good Starbucks connected to the hotel, too.  Valet parking is available, and there is a taxi stand outside the hotel.  The Hotel Nikko is great for tourists and especially recommended for business travelers.  It has many business rooms and suites, and is great for business conferences or events - the conference room on the top floor has panoramic views of the city and all events are catered by the restaurant in the hotel.  The hotel is also central to many tourist attractions, events, and restaurants, and is in a safe part of the city.  Union Square is within blocks, and the Sony Metreon, the Moscone Center, Yerba Buena Gardens, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Fisherman's Wharf, and Chinatown are only a walk or short drive away.  The hotel's restaurant, ANZU, is renowned throughout the city, and features an eclectic menu: sushi, steaks, and sake martinis.  The Hotel Nikko is a great mix of modern styling, ambience, and décor, and classic service and comforts. 

Marc writes, "Just returned from SF. Stayed at Hotel Nikko on Union Square. Was one of the nicest and well run hotels I have ever stayed at. Service was prompt and efficient, from the moment our taxi arrived and the valent immediately took our bags from the trunk for check in. Housekeeping services were exceptional. Our room was huge, as was the bathroom. This is a hotel placing a great emphasis on service. I got the impression that they would do most anything to ensure that their guests were pleased. Try to get a room on the Nikko Floor (about $40 extra/nite) on the top floors, which also includes a full breakfeast in the dining room or continental breakfast in your room, as well as turndown service without having to request it. A real class act!!! "
