The guest rooms will feature many extra amenities and perks, including: * The high-tech VibeTV bathroom mirrors

Manufactured by Electric Mirrors, LLC, in Seattle, the rooms' VibeTV mirrors have been designed especially for the hotel. The TV screen will only be visible when the built-in television is turned on. New Menu at ANZUExecutive Chef Philippe Striffeler at Hotel Nikko San Francisco has created a new menu at the hotel’s popular restaurant ANZU. Utilizing fresh and seasonal ingredients, the new menu features some unusual lighter dishes like Tasmanian Salmon, Hawaiian Snapper, and Kahuku Prawns (North Shore Prawns – sweet), which compliment the summer months nicely. “ANZU’s core continues to be sushi and prime beef focusing on the ‘East meets West’ influence,” says Chef Striffeler of the new menu. “All of the dishes have some hint or taste of Asia with the presentation focused on Asian grace and beauty.”
Chef Striffeler began working with the hotel in 1996, and now oversees the entire Food and Beverage operation of Hotel Nikko San Francisco as Director of Food and Beverage, in addition to being the Executive Chef. He is credited with the emergence of Restaurant ANZU in 1999, including the creation of "the prime of land and sea" menu that still exists. Born in Switzerland, Chef Striffeler has cooked for and managed restaurants in some of the finest luxury hotels around the globe. A graduate of the École Professionelle de la Societé Industrielle et Commerciale in Lausanne, Switzerland, his early culinary education included two vital apprenticeships - one at the Hotel Des Voyageurs in Lausanne, and the other with famous Swiss Chef Norbert Ziojen. In France, Striffeler studied under the tutelage of renowned French Chefs Roger Vergé and Jean Troisgros.

"Hotel
Nikko San Francisco has long been recognized as the intersection where
understated architecture meets the latest cutting-edge technology. So, it's only
natural for us to redefine function and form in the bathroom by being the first
hotel to offer the Vibe TV mirror" says John Hutar, general manager of the Hotel
Nikko San Francisco.
"Subarashee
Omoide - creating fantastic memories for each guest - is our core mission.
We're now taking this Subarashee concept further by offering amazing new bedding
and shower products for time-stressed executives, giving them all of the
amenities and services that will allow them to "Sleep comfortably, relax
deeply". Of course, our Imperial Club guests can also enjoy a workout at our
atrium-covered swimming pool or our fully-equipped health club, or experience
the world class cuisine of Restaurant ANZU," Mr. Hutar noted.
“Hotel
Nikko San Francisco is working with many local vendors and purchasing produce
that is locally grown, as well as using Chicken and Duck from Petaluma, CA,
which helps ensure the freshness and quality of our dishes,” says Chef
Striffeler.

Chef, Kazuhito Takahashi, one of only a handful of Master Sushi Chefs in the
United States, prepares sushi and sashimi. Patrons may also order one of ANZU’s
