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.

Peace of mind !
Lots of places get mixed reviews. This place seems to receive consistently good reviews. All good things written were confirmed with my experience. Very comfortable, clean, and quiet. The room seemed plenty big. Many reviewers complain about the size of hotels in downtown areas. No complaints here. Nice size bathroom, closet, bed etc. Continental Breakfast is worth $10 a person per nite although provided FREE. Free dvd rentals is bonus if u r not into the nightlife scene. .

Didn't think union square, just 2 blocks south provided much to offer for nite time dining. Fine for lunch though. However, would recommend going to wharf, china town, financial district, and/or north beach (for italian).

clean, friendly, well located hotel.
My daughter and I loved this hotel. It was close to union square, nob hill, north beach and the cable car lines. it was an easy walk to the embarcadero too. The staff was very friendly and eager to help out with directions and recommendations. Our room was clean and nicely appointed with a good size bathroom. Also, the room was quiet which is nice for the guests with jet lag. I would stay at the Orchard again and recommend it to friends.

Great location and staff!
We stayed at the Orchard Hotel from 4/12/08-4/19/08. The location is steps away from union square, transportation, and restaurants. The Walgreens open 24 hours around the corner was very convenient. There are also 2 laundry/dry cleaners within 2 blocks away if you are staying for an extended period of time. The staff was just excellent. They were courteous and very friendly. The rooms were modern, spacious and very clean. The price for the loaction was very reasonable and we will definitely choose this hotel again.

We stayed for a week and we bought City Passes that came with attraction discounts and a Muni pass that covered bus/train rides for 7 days. We took buses almost everywhere since it was much more convenient and cheaper than renting a car.

Great hotel. Can't say enough about it
Loved the Orchard Hotel. The rooms were clean, very comfortable. Bathrooms large. Wonderfully comfortable beds - and no street noise at all. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. We had a wonderful visit to San Francisco, with thanks to the great staff and accomodations at the Orchard.

Great location
The location was wonderful. It was just a couple blocks from Union Square. In the Union Square/Powell Street area you had access to all public transportation (i.e. cable car, street car, BART). The front desk staff was friendly and always tried to greet you upon returning to the hotel. The man that was the doorman/concierge was very helpful with tour ideas and made all arrangements with the tour companies. Our room was not along Powell Street so it was relatively quite. We had a king size bed and the room was decent size. The bathroom was large enough that both of us could get ready at the same time without difficulty.

Very Clean, Great Location
We totally enjoyed our stay at the Orchard Hotel in San Francisco. The room very clean, well decorated, and very quiet. The bed was comfortable and when we asked for a blanket instead of the comforter the staff brought one right up. The doorman was extremely helpful in giving directions, suggesting restaurants, arranging transportation back to airport, etc, etc. The location was great. The cable car, which takes you to Fisherman's Wharf, goes right by the hotel at the corner. Also, It's an easy 2 block walk to China Town and also only 2 blocks to Union Square. Lastly, the shopping at Union Square is fantastic! And if you don't want to carry your packages back up the hill to the hotel, you can catch the cable car! I would suggest buying a MUNI transportation pass when you get there. You can purchase for 1 day, 3 days, a week, etc. The pass gives you unlimited assess to the cable cars, street cars, and city bus system. All in all, a great weekend, I will plan on staying at the Orchard Hotel again!

There's a little cafe next door to the hotel that offers a very good breakfast for under $10.00. And we never had to wait to get in.

Very comfortable in great neighborhood
The room was very large, with a great bathroom, and huge shower (no tub, but we don't use them usually, so it didn't bother us). The only problem was that the toilet flush was running, and even though we mentioned it to one of the front desk person, nothing was done to fix it while we were there. The bed was very comfortable. Nice sheets and pillows. The free internet in the room is very nice, and the staff is very friendly. Also just at the corner is a cable car stop. Just jump on it as it passes to go over the hill to Fisherman's wharf! We had a great stay, and would definitely stay there again next time we go to San Francisco.
