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.

Love the Orchard Hotel
Great location, nice roomy bath & room. The amenities of bathroom supplies especially in the suites could be improved (one tiny bar of soap and one extra blanket for a pull out couch). The bed is not that comfy, but the sheets are very nice on the king bed. Pullout couch is about as good as they come. Rooms are clean and very nice staff. The location cannot be beat. I have been many times and would return again.

review
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.

They stole $500 from my account! Do Not Stay!
Headed to SF for a quick weekend getaway, we decided to give the Orchard a try. Great price, location borders the Tenderlion but is decent. Great welcome by the valet and front desk upon arrival. They even upgraded us to a king suite. So why the one star rating? Well, we left our car at the hotel so we could tool around the city for a couple hours after checkout. When we returned to pick up our car, we were asked to sign a smoking admittance and charged $500!!! The woman at the front desk, Victoria or Veronica, said they found evidence of smoking in the room...impossible because I don't smoke, we didn't smoke, the windows don't open, there's no fan, and there are smoke detectors in the room. Not to mention they make you sign a form when you check in that clearly states you will be charged a $500 smoking fee if you smoke. Only an idiot would take those chances, and once again...I DON'T SMOKE! Also read a few reviews that mentioned the same sort of shenanigans during their stay. She was very unsympathetic to the situation and had an 'oh well' attitude. Anyway, disputing the charges with the bank and may even file a police report for theft. About the hotel: it was semi-clean #hair on the bathroom floor, ceiling & shower# the bed was clean & comfy, majority of the staff was nice. There was some confusion about the continental breakfast #or lack thereof#. There is a $45 parking fee and, as I stated before, borders the creepy Tenderlion district. One blocks walk in the wrong direction and you're stepping over box springs, homeless people & herion users. Decent stay, but not for $650.00!

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.
