San Francisco | Location, location, location | Orchard Hotel | V Restaurant

Hotel

SAN FRANCISCO TREAT

HERE’S A FRESH OPTION FOR YOUR WEST-COAST WANDERINGS

Location, location, location: The new Orchard Hotel in San Francisco has it. Just two blocks from the shop-centric Union Square and steps from the Powell Street cable car line, the 10-story Orchard puts much of the Bay City’s must-sees within easy reach. When you’re ready to pack it in, put your feet up in one of the boutique inn’s 105 rooms or nine suites done in rich woods and warm colors for feel-at-home comfort. The in-house V Restaurant and Wine Bar — V as in vineyard — brings a sip of California wine country to the city. Rooms from $259. Call (888) 717-2881 or see www.theorchardhotel.com. —
