"This 136-room historic hotel in swanky Nob Hill has an attentive staff, a quiet, intimate atmosphere, and old-world grandeur to spare." Full review

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
