Eco-friendly hotel near Union Square and steps from cable cars
As its name suggests, the residential-style Orchard Hotel is all about the environment. The boutique hotel was San Francisco's first hotel to become LEED-EB certified by the U.S. Green Building Council, and it continues to tout a number of eco-friendly programs today. The hotel was built in 2000, and rooms still feel brand-new. Daffodil, the on-site restaurant, serves a variety of cuisines from all over the world.
Highlights
- Eco-friendly programs and organic bath products
- Walk to shopping at Union Square and Westfield Centre mall
- Complimentary business and fitness centers
Rooms
Relax and rejuvenate in one of the Orchard's 104 rooms, including nine suites. Armoires feature state-of-the-art DVD and CD entertainment centers and 27-inch flat-screen televisions. Guests will find large work desks, complimentary high-speed Internet and Wi-Fi and fully stocked mini-bars. Designed specifically for the Orchard, most of the furniture is made of wood from Bali. Bathrooms boast organic bath products.
Features
The Orchard opened in 2000, making it one of the newest boutique hotels in San Francisco. When it opened, it became the city's first LEED-EB certified hotel. Since then, the property has collected a number of other accolades for its commitment to eco-friendly practices. The Orchard continues to refine its approach to green.
Art is a common theme inside; a bronze-cast statue entitled "Spring Awakening" welcomes visitors to the lobby, and paintings and photographs in hallways upstairs are from local artists.
While the on-site fitness is complimentary, guests also have access to a handful of independent fitness facilities within walking distance (fees apply).
Dining
Daffodil, the eclectic on-site eatery, pairs seasonal and local organic cuisine with wines from all over the world. The restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner only, though a happy hour menu spotlights a number of tapas-style small plate dishes.

The wall art is beautifully framed artistic black and white photography depicting elements of San Francisco architecture and scenery.

- Situated in the world's favorite travel destination...a city that sets high standards for stylish accommodations and elegant dining, The Orchard Hotel is up to the challenge.
The Orchard is just steps from the Powell Street cable car line, two blocks from the shopping mecca of Union Square and mid way up Nob Hill...in the midst of the pulse of San Francisco.
Take 101 north all the way into downtown San Francisco. As you enter downtown, stay in left lanes on 101 north, towards Golden Gate Bridge. Take the 9th Street exit, which exits right onto 9th Street. Stay in center or right lanes as you pass over Market Street. 9th becomes Larkin Street. Go up 11 blocks to Bush Street, make a right, go six blocks and cross Powell Street. We are the second building on the right side.

Lovely big room
Lovely big room with comfortable kingsize bed. Shame the bar area was small and closed at 9pm. Great location at the corner where the cable car runs. Luckily only one uphill block to climb! Also handy having a Starbucks down the hill for breakfast. Would stay there again.

Short walk from hotel
Go to the cable car booth at the bottom of Powell Street, its a grey booth not very obvious. The 1, 3 or 7 day passport for travel on the cable cars, trams and buses are very good value.

Good
Good hotel located in a safe and pleasant part of town. Decor was dated but the hotel was comfortable and clean with free wifi. Cable car stop near by was useful but often busy. Only a 5 minute walk from Bart (powell) so easy to get to directly from the airport. Would recommend 'darn good food' a few blocks away - healthy, fresh food at good prices.

Get the Bart from the airport - so easy and $8 each. Just remember to put payment in first - weird for someone from London to be used to! The two cards with $10 each was an easy choice.

Great spot - Great value
This charming hotel has it all...great location and wonderful rooms, at a price that would be hard to beat. The rooms are spacious, clean and well stocked, with free wifi to boot. Staff was courteous and helpful. This place gets 5 starts from us. The only reason "amenities" didn't get 5 stars is the television was old, though it worked fine.

review of Orchard hotel
I thought the value of this hotel was great. It is located two blocks from the gate into chinatown and right on the cable car pathway to fisherman's wharf. I did alot of shopping in the union square area and it is just blocks away. Lulu lemon was two blocks from the hotel! The staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean and more spacious than alot of rooms in the area. The pillows, covers and bed were all down and very comforable. It is not high tech or fancy,, but very comfortable, quiet, and clean. I would stay there again.

There is a mall attached to Nordstroms that has most any shop you would need. Also there is a map in a 5x7 tourist book at the hotel that has a page that shows where many of the shops are.

not as advertised
This hotel advertised high tech amenities and high quality hypoallergenic bed linens. The wifi was slow and only worked in limited locations. The cable TV did not work for an entire day. You needed yo request hypoallergenic bed linens and the were low quality hard foam pillows and blankets. The housekeeping staff was rude, demanding that we leave our room so they could clean it.
