Character and identity
A 500-plus room downtown tower a few blocks from Union Square, Hotel Nikko trades on a clean, modern aesthetic with Asian design cues running throughout: a flowing water feature in the lobby, calm palettes, Far East meets West restraint. Twenty-two suites sit within the room count. Anzu handles California cooking with a Japanese accent and a sushi and raw bar, while the Kanpai Lounge pours sake martinis. Feinstein's, the 140-seat in-house venue, programmes Broadway, cabaret, jazz and drag with gastropub plates. A 10,000-square-foot health club, indoor rooftop pool and Les Clefs d'Or concierge anchor the service layer.
Who's it for
Best for:
Travellers who want a polished, full-service base in the thick of downtown, with serious fitness and pool facilities and built-in evening entertainment downstairs. The pet programme (including resident dogs Buster and Beau) makes it a strong pick for guests travelling with small dogs, and sustainability-minded bookers will note the EPA Energy Star track record.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone after a boutique-scale, design-forward stay will find the scale and corporate footprint impersonal. There's no outdoor pool, no waterfront, and the Union Square setting means urban bustle rather than a quiet retreat. Foodies chasing a marquee restaurant scene should look elsewhere too.
Bottom line
What sets this property apart is the combination of a genuinely impressive health club and pool, a Les Clefs d'Or concierge desk, and a live cabaret venue inside the building, all at a downtown address. Book a suite if you want meaningful space within the large room count, and time a stay around a Feinstein's bill you actually want to see.
