Combining 20th century grace with 21st century technology, the Citizen Hotel offers guests a luxurious urban retreat in to the heart of downtown Sacramento. Although there are plenty of restaurants in the immediate vicinity, the hotel’s own Grange Restaurant is highly recommended, utilising local cuisine to produce a superb range of dishes. There’s also Scandal, one of the city’s finest bars with culinary cocktails to tempt you and Californian-inspired wines, ports and liqueurs.

Great experience

I stayed for two nights in a very comfortable and charming one bedroom, nicely lit but quiet even with the street down below. The bathroom was very clean and bright, lovely views out the windows.
On the last night I finally went down to the Grange for dinner - excellent! The citrus salad and halibut were outstanding. Red wine blend was lovely.…

Spent a lovely week at this gracious hotel. Steeped in historic charm, The Citizen Hotel has an old-fashioned and friendly atmosphere. The staff goes the extra mile to make guests feel welcome and personally recognized. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the restored room service was much appreciated. Daily breakfast at the hotel's Michelin Star restaurant included some stellar menu items. The Cheese Enchiladas (see photo) were enthusiastically recommended by our top-notch server Chris K. This dish is a perfect mix of flavors and textures - mozzarella, salsa verde, sunnyside up egg, pickled red onion, avocado, and lime crema…a winner! Thanks, Chris! Also want to include a shout-out to our helpful and pleasant server Malina, our hostess Grace, room service pro Morningstar, Jose at the bar, Hailey at the Front Desk and all the valet staff, who were just so nice to us! Will definitely return to this "home away from home" in the Capital City of Sacramento!!

The hotel is lovely, although the lobby is rather dark. The front desk people are excellent and helpful. My room was absolutely beautiful and light with a comfortable bed and nice decor. The restaurant is delicious! I will definitely stay here again. Down one star because the expensive valet service is slow and rather useless. The service is $49-$59 per night and the valets do not offer to help with luggage or assist in any way. There is also not enough valet staff. It took forty minutes for my car to be retrieved.

Nice Option

I had an enjoyable stay at the Citizen, staying for a couple nights for work. I was upgraded to a very nice suite. This is a historical hotel, with references all over to the government, historic but the renovation is lovely and even fun. This was my first time staying in Sacramento and the location was terrific.

I had an enjoyable stay at the Citizen, staying for a couple nights for work. I was upgraded to a very nice suite. This is a historical hotel, with references all over to the government, historic but the renovation is lovely and even fun. This was my first time staying in Sacramento and the location was terrific. I was able to run to the railway museum after a day of work. I would stay there again. The restaurant was nice.
