Orchard Hotel

105 rooms w/9 suites, 10 floors. Intimate and elegant. Built new from the ground up. Opened November 2000. Near Union Square on Nob Hill. A premier non-smoking boutique hotel. Like you, we want to stay in environmentally sustainable hotels when we travel. At the Orchard and Orchard Garden Hotels, that’s exactly what you get, without sacrificing style and service: no “greenwashing” here. We’re dedicated to healthy, sustainable hospitality, and we have been from the very beginning. In honor of Our Hotels’ Founders, The Huang Family is committed to maintaining environmentally friendly and non-toxic environments at all of our hotels. While there are many shades of ‘green’ in the hotel business, ours is the deepest.. From our construction practices to décor, food and beverage, daily operation and much more, we’ve never wavered from our commitment to Mother Earth. Both hotels are LEED certified, which is of the world’s most prestigious ‘green’ accolades. In 2009, the Orchard Hotel joined its sister property, the Orchard Garden Hotel in ‘green’ certification, earning LEED-EB® (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification for an existing building by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). One of San Francisco’s first hotels to earn this honor, the Orchard Hotel was the second hotel in California and fourth hotel in the United States with this certification. LEED is the USGBC’s system for operating high performance buildings dedicated to whole-building cleaning and maintenance issues, recycling programs, exterior maintenance programs and systems upgrades. The Orchard Garden Hotel was first hotel in California to be LEED certified.
