Orchard Garden Hotel

This zen, 86-room hotel situated steps from Chinatown’s Dragon’s Gate is all about the green—the environment, that is. Designed by Architecture International, the LEED-certified building uses an energy-efficient cooling system, key-card-triggered lighting (to cut down electricity costs when you’re not in the room), LED lighting, and non-toxic cleaning products. The in-room furnishings are eco-conscious, as well, from the natural  paints and carpets to the blonde wood furniture and (literally) green duvets. The hotel plants a tree in the name of every guest who leaves a TripAdvisor review, in collaboration with Plant a Billion Trees. Thankfully, the hotel’s conservation efforts extend to your wallet: The Orchard Garden offers 10 percent off its nightly rates for California residents.
