Orchard Garden Hotel  

Nestled in the heart of San Francisco within walking distance of Union Square, Orchard Garden Hotel is California’s first generation of true eco-friendly hotels, built to the national standards for ‘green’ buildings developed by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Decorated in soothing neutrals and natural Maple wood furniture, experience luxury without guilt: Compact flourescent lights turn on with the swipe of your key card (San Francisco's first key card energy control system), organic bath products paired with water-efficient fixtures, and chemical-free cleaning products. In addition, each room includes an iPod docking station, high-def LCD television and honor bar.

For a romantic retreat, lounge on the rooftop terrace with views of San Francisco or dine at Roots Restaurant and sample seasonal, locally-grown produce and sustainable meat and seafood before returning to your room.

"the Orchard Garden Hotel was more than just a great moment of pampering, it was a moment of pampering where one felt they were doing good to the earth instead of dumping harmful chemicals in one's wake. The bed was infinitely comfortable, with top quality high-threadcount linens and duvet." - washbrol, Zurich, Switzerland

"The Orchard Garden Hotel has exceeded our expectations--for a second time. We returned because we love the location, the rooms, the green concept and the staff. Pay a little extra for the "view" rooms and be treated with a balcony and spacious quarters." - MisterTripster71, sacramento

"The rooms are smartly designed...you have to plug your room card in to turn on the lights -- and very comfortable. They aren't elegant like the Fairmont or Hopkins, but the clean design and nice color scheme reflects the environmental nature of the hotel. The design of the room uses space well (the television is mounted high above the desk area = smart), and the bathrooms are nice. The bed is super comfortable, and so was the desk area." - slightlyannoyed, San Francisco
