Our Hotel Planner Expert Reviews of Hotel Nikko San Francisco
Our expert planners periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person. "Chic downtown hotel, great for large or small groups."
Overall Score4.5/ 5
Hotel Nikko is an objectively chic and trendy hotel. The decor of the lobby is bright white with Asian influences, and is reached by climbing a dramatic marble stairwell. Guests will certainly be impressed upon first check in. Nikko features an on-site Cabaret Theatre (called The Rrazz Room) that has nightly jazz performances, and a restaurant called ANZU that features beef and fresh sushi and serves three meals a day. They have a ton of meeting space (enough for a 800 person gala), most with floor to ceiling windows that show off views of the city. The sleeping rooms are pretty big, but the large, nice bathrooms were really what was impressive about the accommodations. The last major bragging point of the hotel is their gym and spa, which features an outdoor/indoor pool (a pool enclosed in a kind of glass dome that can open to the outside). This is an extremely nice fitness center/spa, but requires an additional pass to be purchased upon check in to access, which may not be worth it to many guests. In general, this is a great hotel for an event of any size, both social and professional. They have the space and style to host a large social gathering, as well as accommodations for an intimate and serious board meeting. The Asian-Chic style will make everyone feel cool without alienating anyone or feeling too extreme. I highly recommend them for groups.
