Sacramento is a very interesting California city, that lies at the confluence of the American River and Sacramento River. The main attraction of the city is its Old Town, that still remembers times of the California Gold Rush. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Sacramento to be close to most of the attractions, Downtown is the best choice. Here is the list of top hotels in Downtown Sacramento.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

1. Sheraton Grand (from USD 269)
Excellent breakfast options, good dining experience, but occasional service delays and limited room service availability
Reasonable pricing for a downtown location, but additional fees for parking and WiFi
Great downtown location near local attractions, restaurants, and the convention center, but some concerns about neighborhood safety and homeless population
Convenient parking, clean rooms, comfortable beds, but outdated facilities and lack of modern amenities like microwaves and fridges
I think all Sheraton hotels have set special standards: classy and elegant interior, comfortable bedrooms and great customer reviews. Sheraton Grand in Downtown, Sacramento isn’t any different. It is located in a beautiful Public Market Building, which makes the stay even more special. It’s situated across from the Sacramento Convention Center, so it gives easy access to shops and restaurants around, as well as to the old town. The hotel is pet friendly, there is a fitness centre, bar and on-site parking.
