My favorite orchid for its foliage is Angraecum magdalenae. The leaves curve and open up very nicely and it looks very elegant and graceful. It could pass as a foliage houseplant (likely the only one I have that actually could).
If we are going to mention non-orchids, I think the cinnamon tree is my favorite for foliage, followed by the Allspice tree. Both have lovely, fragrant leaves. Third is the Piper Nigrum (Black Pepper) with its pretty, heart-shaped leaves.
