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.
Orchard Hotel Rooms
- Deluxe King
- The cozy yet sizeable accommodations offer a timeless contemporary design using a soft palate of restful colors in the wall, floor coverings and fabrics. Designed specifically for the rooms, the furniture is made of nyatoh wood from Bali, a golden toned wood that resembles a teak or a light mahogany. Armoires contain state of the art DVD and CD players with five speakers, a 27-inch TV with surround sound. 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.

Great Hotel!
We stayed here for 5 nights and loved it! The staff was super friendly-gave us tips for restaurants, directions, and advice on things to do. The room was very comfortable, extremely clean, and we loved the turndown service. Loved that we could borrow DVD movies from the front desk on those nights we were too exhausted to go out! Location was terrific, very close to Union Square shopping and Chinatown! I would highly recommend this hotel!

Great hotel, great location
Large room, blocks from Union Square, cable car right at your door. Bathroom and bath items very luxurious. Very good breakfast. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel but it looked wonderful and we heard others at the bar saying it was excellent.

San Francisco Get Away
The Orchard on Union Square was a great choice for our San Francisco vacation. From a charming staff always available to assist you, to the spacious rooms and luxurious bath it provided a great get away. The rooms include CD/DVD players with a free selection of movies at check-in. The high-speed internet access in the lobby enabled us to check our e-mail. A continental breakfast is included in the rates. My wife loved the location because it was within walking distance to shopping and adjacent to the Powell Street Cable car.

Great Staff
The staff at the Orchard Hotel were extremely polite, kind, and helpful. The free movie rental was a nice touch to wind down at night.

Excellent location and bang for your buck!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Orchard Hotel. The entrance to Chinatown is just one block down the road and a cable car stop is litterally in front of the hotel. Market Street is within three blocks and there are numerous little neighborhood bars and cafes close by. Parking fees are $34 per night (which is average), however, you can park down the road in a parking garage (Stockton Rd.) for slightly less. Overall a great experience.

Union Square is very close. Also, the cable car stop is right outside and the locale was an easy walk to almost everywhere of interest in San Francisco.

Nice Place to Stay
The Orchard Hotel was a very nice place to stay for the price we paid. The staff was helpful and treated us well. The room was larger than we expected. The hotel was clean, modern, and nicely kept. The wireless internet worked well and we could use the mini bar fridge to store our own things in our room. The hotel restaurant was very overpriced. The neighborhood around the hotel had lots of dinning and shopping options and it was easy to access public transportation to get out and explore the city. The only real inconvenience for this hotel was you had to climb half way up Nob Hill to reach it. However, it is hard to avoid hills when traveling in San Francisco! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfection!
The staff was very professional and helpful. The doorman/concierge was most helpful. The hotel had an older charm yet very clean and comfortable. It was so much better than a chain hotel. We would most definitely stay here again.

The location was the best feature of this hotel. It is right around the corner from Powell St. and the cable car line. It was perfect for getting wherever we needed to go.
