What's so special about
The Orchard Garden Hotel? How about EVERYTHING!?!
First and foremost in most traveler's minds is location. Founded in 2006, The Orchard Garden is situated in the coveted Union Square section of San Francisco, directly adjacent to the entrance of Chinatown. High-end shopping, public transit and prime eateries of all types blanket the area and are within eye-shot of the hotel's front door.
Next up, and one of it's many admirable traits, is the fact that
The Orchard Garden Hotel is an award winning truly "Green" hotel given LEED certification (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
The $25 Million dollar building's framework, construction practices, guest room and public space lighting/decor and housekeeping are all based around environmentally sustainable practices.
The entry-way welcome is a good sign of what's to come.
Guestroom key cards control each room's lighting and mechanical systems for more energy efficient stays.
Decor is very self explanatory. The highest quality natural materials possible. King bed shown here
