Rough Guide "This groundbreaking hotel is a leader in energy-efficient environmental design... the hotel has much going for it, including a full slate of electronics and organic bath products in each room."
Michelin Guide "This eco-chic boutique hotel brings a much-needed dose of oxygen to the hustle and bustle of downtown."

Fodor's "Feel virtuous and eco-friendly by staying at the first San Francisco hotel built to environmentally stringent LEED specifications." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Set in San Francisco’s tiny, unofficial French Quarter, the Orchard Garden feels exactly like a spiffy little Left Bank hotel—one that’s LEED certified." Full review
Time Out "Opened in 2007, the Orchard Garden was only the fourth hotel in the world to win LEED... certification, meaning it was designed according to strict environmental standards." Full review
Star Service "This well-situated hotel is in the middle of the so-called French Quarter and just a few doors from the carved Foo dogs guarding Chinatown's ornate dragon gate; Union Square is a four-block walk." Full review
