Walking through the door from Union Square to the Hotel is a jarring experience. It like walking into a different dimension. In a matter of inches you leave a loud and bustling shopping district and enter a space of tranquility. The staff remember you name from first introduction and make you feel as if you're royalty. Any questions whether it be at the desk or over the phone are handled with professionalism and haste. We didn't have a chance to visit all the amenities during our stay, however. The pool offers a peaceful remove from city life that is as warm and inviting in January as July. Kam Pai gave us a wonderful experience, and beautifully marbled o toro with delightful service to match. The death and bellmen anticipated our every need and made me feel that pride in service is not dead. The rooms and bathrooms were comfortable, relaxing and had everything we could have needed. The room service was prompt and delicious. If I could change only 1 thing it would be a more modern bathtub. I'm not picking here, what ur an hotel even has a bathtub these days. In conclusion, this stay hit every cord. I have had many great experiences in SF but this was above and beyond. Hotel Nikko, you have our loyalty. Thank you. osborne.knife@gmail.com

This is a fine hotel near Moscone West conference center with a Japanese touch. I liked the location, the warm welcome, the spacious room and the 24/7 accessible gym to help me recover from a huge time difference. The coffee machine in the room was also very helpful when I woke up in the middle of the night to start the day and stay in between time zones.

"Very good hotel, could easily be great again"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5

Have stayed at the Nikko San Francisco before and highly recommend it. Beautiful room, excellent service, great Imperial Lounge. But there were changes, presumably made by management, that made this stay at least 1 star below my prior 5-star stay. I was surprised and disappointed that their beautiful dinner restaurant was moved into cramped and dark quarters downstairs, where one can hear the doors of the restrooms in the hall banging shut. The food is still excellent, but the ambience is far inferior to the upstairs (where they now serve breakfast and which is empty at dinner-time although waiters seem to have to go there to get at least some of the food). As a result, I canceled most of my dinner reservations. Likewise, why is the concierge desk empty? It doesn’t seem fair to expect the receptionists to also act as concierge, especially when there is a check-in line. Again, a very good hotel that owners (or management) could easily return to being a great hotel.

This is my wife’s and my second time at the Nikko SF, and it charmed us as much as it did the first time. Beautiful view of the Bay from the high floors, and breathtaking view of sunrise from the Imperial Lounge on the 23rd floor. All the staff were great and helpful (from phone reservations and check-in onward), and two stood out: Luis, up in the Imperial Lounge and Deepak in the restaurant. Both bent over backward to offer first class service and friendly advice, making one feel at home. We have lived in Asia and Latin America and stayed in many hotels; the Nikko San Francisco is on our list of tops. We will definitely return.
