The Citizen Hotel, Autograph Collection - A 1925 historic skyscraper with MICHELIN Guide dining, political art, and Capitol views

Located in California's first skyscraper, this downtown Sacramento hotel features distinctive 1900s architecture by George Selland and curated political art by Jack Ohman. The 14-story landmark houses 196 rooms equipped with 300-count Italian linens, down pillows, and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. The MICHELIN Guide-featured Grange Restaurant & Bar, led by Executive Chef Dane Blom, showcases seasonal Central Valley cuisine and includes a two-story wine vault. Business travelers have access to 9000 square feet of meeting space and a 24-hour business center. The pet-friendly Citizen Hotel, Autograph Collection sits directly across from Cesar Chavez Plaza. Cathedral Square is a 5-minute walk away, while the California State Railroad Museum and Sacramento History Museum are located 15 minutes west toward the Sacramento River.

Pros

Original 1920s architectural details preserved throughout the property

Two-story wine vault features expert pairing services

In-house audio-visual team provides technical support for events

24-hour marketplace in lobby offers snacks and beverages

Cons

12.5 miles distance from Sacramento International Airport

“This historic hotel, originally built in 1925, has a prime location near the California State Capitol. The dining stands out, particularly Grange Restaurant & Bar, recognized in the MICHELIN Guide for its seasonal, local ingredients. I think its blend of classic architecture and quirky political art makes it a notable choice in Sacramento.”
