Rough Guide "Hushed, opulent landmark building... Stay here for snob value, above all."
Michelin Guide "Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the grandest of them all? Why, the Palace, of course. This grande dame proudly shows off her old-world refinement."
Frommer's "The original 1875 Palace was one of the world's largest and most luxurious hotels, and every time you walk through the doors here, you'll be reminded how incredibly majestic old luxury really is." Full review
Concierge "The Palace is San Francisco's most storied hotel."
Fodor's ""Majestic" is the word that best sums up this landmark hotel, which was the world's largest and most luxurious when it opened in 1875." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The cushy (if staid) accommodations cater to expense-account travelers, but prices drop weekends." Full review
Oyster Upscale
"Boasting ample turn-of-the-20th-century elegance and 550 rooms on only eight floors (dig these corridors), the Palace is aptly named." Full review
Travel + Leisure "When the Palace Hotel was built on New Montgomery Street in 1875, it was thought to be the largest and costliest luxury hotel in the world." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Early in the 20th century the Palace was one of the most famous hotels in the world, hosting royalty and heads of state, including President Harding, who died here in his sleep in 1923."
Star Service "It remains a historic reminder of San Francisco's florid past, making a stark contrast to the gleaming modern city that is being rebuilt around it." Full review

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."
Frommer's "Going green doesn't mean you have to cut back on comfort... Egyptian cotton linen on the king-size bed, real feather down in the pillows, Aveda bath products, and plush spa-style robes in the closet." Full review
Concierge "Best of all, this Union Square hotel saves not only the planet but also your wallet."
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

The granite-trimmed baths have organic EO toiletries, robes (slippers upon request) and hair dryers.
Gayot "Opened in 2006, this 86-room hotel was built from the ground up following environmentally sensitive building practices."
BlackBook "Elegant lobby, restaurant and spacious uber-insulated guest rooms decorated in soothing colors and fabrics."
