This refined city property is the epitome of modern Japanese luxury.

Formal, slick, and neutral, some may feel it lacking in a bit of character, but it excels in being a smart, comfortable base to recharge your batteries. Housed in a slim 30-storey skyscraper, on the 17th floor and above, it makes a wonderfully refreshing, contemporary addition to a longer itinerary, especially one featuring a lot of traditional accommodation. All rooms enjoy views over the city towards the sea and mountains: the higher the floor, the better the views.

Hotel Nikko’s location directly in front of Kanazawa Station means the journey from Tokyo aboard the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train, a swift 2.5 hour service, is virtually door to door. The authentic kaiseki menu at one of the hotel’s impressive range of restaurants is well worth sampling, and we’d recommended a visit to the top floor bar to view the city nightscape and peruse the sophisticated drinks menu.

Why we love it

“For the best views in the city, and more sumptuous décor, book a room on one of the higher floors.”

Contemporary style

Staying in traditional accommodation is wonderful, but enjoying a more modern experience can be a refreshing way to mix things up a little. In this regard, the Nikko is perfect. Dine on everything from teppanyaki grilled steak to intricately prepared seafood in the numerous onsite restaurants, and top off a full day’s city exploring with a glass of fizz at the cosy sky lounge.

Dependable quality

The Nikko brand offers reliable, high quality properties and are a prime example of modern Japanese hospitality. There’s a reliable simplicity to the modern décor, though some of the top-end suites have a little more character than your average mid-city high-rise, and the views over the city are always centre stage. A reliable ‘go to’ for contemporary comfort.

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

It was amazing from start to finish. Really informative when we were planning the trip, flexible about our itinerary, offering a range of options but all backed with knowledge of the lodges and reserves. The support when we were away was excellent with alternative arrangements made quickly when a flight was cancelled and great advice when our return flight seats were changed. We would absolutely recommend the company, particularly if you are looking for something a little different but special.
