ORCHARD HOTEL

The classy and intimate Orchard Hotel in the historic heart of San Francisco's Nob Hill is the city's newest premier hotel and its location couldn't be better. Guests can step outside the front door of the sleek and discreet hideaway to board cable cars for exciting trips to Fisherman's Wharf, the Museum of Modern Art and other museums, and Chinatown only two blocks away. The glorious shopping and entertainment of Union Square beckons from three blocks away. Guests can enjoy complimentary continental breakfast from the Orchard's own Solea Restaurant, which specializes in tantalizing California cuisine spiced with French influences, such as oven roasted Cornish hen and rare yellow fin tuna with roast fingerling potatoes. Business types also will enjoy morning Town Car service, and all guests can use the hotel's fitness room and pick movies from the hotel's complimentary DVD library and from a stack of complimentary newspapers for their rooms or lobby reading. Guests enjoy amenities like high speed and wireless Internet access throughout the building and DVD surround sound stereos in their cozy, yet sizable rooms. Splashed with palettes of soft colors, the rooms include furnishings crafted from exotic, gold toned Balinese nyatoh wood. Patrons also will enjoy bathrobes, fancy Aveda toiletries, twice daily maid service and coffeemakers. The Orchard Hotel boasts a residential like boutique atmosphere catering to both business and pleasure travelers.
