Fodor's Review:

Unlike most other boutique hotels in the area, which sometimes occupy century-old buildings, the Orchard was built in 2000. The 104-room hotel embraces state-of-the-art technology -- from CD and DVD players in each room to Wi-Fi access available through the building -- managing to mix Silicon Valley chic with classic European touches. The hotel's marble lobby, where the bronze-cast statue "Spring Awakening" greets visitors, helps set the dramatic and elegant tone that continues throughout the hotel (arched openings, vaulted ceilings, stone floorings, etc.) With just 12 rooms per floor, the hotel also manages to feel quite intimate, which has led some to remark that they feel as if they're staying in a cozy (and very upscale) mountain inn. The rooms are fairly sizable by boutique hotel standards in this area and use a soft palate of restful colors on the walls and fabrics to help soothe shoppers returning from a busy day in Union Square. The hotel's restaurant, Vignette, serves inspired American cuisine with strong Italian and French influences.
