The Citizen Hotel, Autograph Collection - Historic 1925 Skyscraper with Political Art, MICHELIN Guide Dining, and Capitol Views

Located in California's first skyscraper from 1925, this 14-story, 196-room Sacramento hotel showcases distinctive early 1900s architecture by George Selland. The Citizen Hotel features framed political cartoons by Jack Ohman, 300-count Italian linens, and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries in its newly renovated rooms. The MICHELIN Guide-recognized Grange Restaurant & Bar, led by Executive Chef Dane Blom, offers seasonal Central Valley cuisine and houses a 2-story wine vault. The Autograph Collection property sits directly across from Cesar Chavez Plaza and provides 9,000+ square feet of event space with Capitol views. Pet-friendly accommodations welcome dogs for a $50 fee per stay, while amenities include a 24-hour marketplace, fitness center, and valet parking.

Pros

State's first skyscraper with preserved 1900s architectural details

Located 0.3 miles from Cathedral Square and 0.5 miles from Sacramento Amtrak

MICHELIN Guide dining featuring locally sourced ingredients

15-minute walk to historic Old Town's museums and Sacramento River

Cons

Valet parking costs $49 per night for regular vehicles

No on-site spa facilities

“The Citizen Hotel makes a distinctive impression, located close to the Capitol and other Sacramento attractions. I appreciate the building's architecture and thematic decor that nods to California's political history. While the location is central, reports of noise issues might make light sleepers think twice.”
