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 desk has excellent lighting and the two phones in the room have two lines with voicemail; one phone is cordless.
The wall art is beautifully framed artistic black and white photography depicting elements of San Francisco architecture and scenery.
Safety and convenience for guests includes safes in all closets, a minibar refrigerator with a separate dry snack tray, iron and ironing board in the closet, and a coffee maker.
Well-lighted, spacious baths feature Eco-pure bath products, hair dryers, and thick, cotton robes.

- Area description
- 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.

An advantage of this hotel is that it's located near shopping centre however you have to pass a very steep hill to reach the hotel .fresh water is available in the reception.Also staff members were extremely friendly and helpful.The main advantage was that the room was very spacious .tolerable cable car noise can be heard at night

Hotel room was cold & no matter how much I turned the heat up, it barely heated the room. Also, the hotel's restaurant only had three items on the menu. They said this was due to "being between menus". Other thread these issues, the hotel was fine.

Excellent Business Trip
The Orchard Hotel provided a very welcoming and comfortable experience for a business traveler. The room was very spacious with good resources for keeping up with the office, I was able to use the business center at the Orchard Garden (sister) hotel 2 blocks away, and the location was excellent for my meetings.

I got Free upgrade!
The hotel was very nice and enviromentally friendly. I had a reservation to stay at the Orchard Hotel, and they gave me a free upgrade at their new hotel, the Orchard Garden. The bed was very comfortable, towels big and fluffy. We were there to tour my daughters school that she will be attending this fall.

Great Price and location
The room was very clean and quiet and beds were very comfy. The shower products for shampoo and bath soaps were awesome and nice scents. The eateries and shops all were within walking distance and china town within a short walk. Bart was a short walk. I was impressed with price and decor was very nice. I will stay again and also highly recommend to all my frinds.
