Vacation planners looking for an altogether different hotel experience will adore the Hotel Nikko San Francisco and its Japanese-inspired theme. Searching through over 300 San Francisco hotel deals can be viewed as a chore, but if an uplifting and alternate hotel experience is desired, it can be found here.

Located in the most central of San Francisco areas, the property has close proximity to several landmarks and must-see places. From the moment guests arrive, peacefulness descends with one look at the upright piano in the lobby, consummating the Zen-like atmosphere. Here, reviewers note that the hotel’s motto of continual improvement, a Japanese custom, is constantly in play.

One of the best aspects of this hotel is the full complement of options and amenities which make for a true couple’s retreat. Plan a day and evening itinerary and the Nikko has you covered without ever leaving the property. The hotel’s major attraction, ANZU, serves the finest Japanese fare. Guests can have their hair done at the onsite Nicola’s Studio hair salon before visiting the Rrazz Room for a night of relaxing jazz fusion and a cold cocktail.

Guest rooms are decorated in a decidedly Japanese décor, with earth-toned colors. Take advantage of the Subarashee-Yume pillow-top beds or relax in a separate living room space. Silk-floral arrangements adorn a bathroom waiting for a guests’ soothing soak. The property is both pet-friendly and environmentally green throughout.

Cool Stuff We Like
Guests will love the fine art of Japanese massage known as the “Shiatsu” variety located in the fifth-floor spa. The hotel’s lounge is a unique place to unwind on plush white cushioned furniture with relaxing, neon-green LED lighting throughout. For a decidedly eastern-style experience, book a reservation at Nikko today.
