Built in 1927 and designed by California’s famous architect George Sellon, The Citizen Hotel in Sacramento started its life as the headquarters for the Cal State Life Insurance.

Meticulous restoration brought the beautiful Sacramento building to the 21st century but retained its elegance and character with soaring ceilings, marble panels, and a grand center staircase.

All 198 rooms and suites are luxuriously appointed and full of modern amenities such as iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, minibars and Keurig coffeemakers.

Each room has unique feel and character, and some have spectacular views of the city or mosaic tiled bathrooms. The hotel has a beautiful rooftop terrace, a popular restaurant and bar, The Grange, a fitness room, and elegant event spaces. The hotel is located in the center of things, overlooking Cesar Chavez Plaza Park and a short walk to Crocker Art Museum and California State Capitol.

Address: The Citizen Hotel, 926 J Street, Sacramento , CA 95814, 916-447-2700
