2 Best Hotels in Sacramento, Sacramento and the Gold Country

The architects of this courtly hotel, which opened with a splash in 2023, incorporated the redbrick Romanesque Revival–style facade of the 1928 structure that preceded it. Done in contemporary style with soft brown and powder blue accents that defer to exposed brick evoking the past, the guest rooms and suites have dedicated sitting areas and bathrooms with ultramodern fixtures. All the studio and one-bedroom suites have full kitchens and sofa beds, making them a viable option for larger groups. Standard rooms have microwaves and small refrigerators. The accommodations range in size from 306 to 607 square feet, but even the smaller ones make efficient use of their space. The room rate includes a well-stocked breakfast buffet, and the Historic Star Lounge serves lunch, dinner, and cocktails (happy hour 3–6).

Soft shades of brown and gray and furniture milled from California oak lend this full-service hotel's spacious rooms and suites a haute-rustic feel. Convenient to the Downtown Commons (DOCO) shopping and entertainment complex, Golden 1 Center arena, the Capitol, and Old Sacramento attractions, the hotel pleases business and leisure travelers with up-to-date electronics, deluxe bath products, and in-room yoga mats and spa treatments. On-site facilities include the third-floor pool and Revival bar, a steak house, and the independently run 25,000-square-foot Punch Bowl Social, with a bar and restaurant, bowling, billiards, darts, and other diversions.
