Busy business hotel with frequent crowds in common areas
Some bathrooms are a little small
The 503-room, upper-mid-range Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel is ideal for business travelers, as it's located downtown, directly across the
street from the Convention Center and two blocks from the California state capitol.
The building was formerly the Sacramento Public Market, and it retains some
original character in the public areas. The Sheraton Grand frequently hosts
conventions, bringing crowds into the bar and lobby areas. Guest rooms are clean and comfortable, with panoramic city views from
higher floors.
Scene
Executive central -- a popular power lunch spot, and a full floor of meeting rooms
The Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel is a place for businesspeople
to see and be seen. Built in the former Public Market, it's a gorgeous building
located on a corner directly opposite the busy convention center. The walls are
decorated with historic photos of the market, pre-renovation, and the lobby retains
the ironwork and open atrium and skylights of the building’s former
incarnation. The hotel has a full floor of meeting rooms and a grand ballroom,
making it a popular convention site, as well. The bar, balcony restaurant, and
large lobby seating area can get quite crowded as a result. Morgan’s
Restaurant, on the balcony overlooking the open lobby, is a popular spot for
local power lunches. The Sheraton Grand
offers class, comfort, and predictability for executives and conventioneers.
Location
On a marina, across from the convention center, two blocks from the state capitol
The Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel is in downtown Sacramento,
directly across from the convention center, two blocks from the seat of government, the governor's mansion, and Capitol Park. The immediate area has plenty of lively restaurants, shops, bars, cafes, and a movie theater.
The Bing Maloney Golf Course is five miles away, and there are hiking and
biking trails for outdoor exercise. The hotel has a marina on-site for those
who arrive via water or enjoy a waterside stroll. The airport is a 25-minute drive away, and the hotel is easily reachable from the freeway.
Rooms
Clean and comfortable, with large work surfaces and video game consoles
Rooms at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel are clean and
comfortable, with typical higher-end chain decor and, especially on
higher floors, panoramic views of the city that are especially lovely at night.
Each room has a window seat from which to enjoy the city lights. Rooms have
wall-to-wall carpet, large desks with ergonomic chairs, and elegant, if small,
bathrooms with marble and granite countertops. Flat-screen TVs come
with premium channels, pay movies, and video game consoles, and there are coffeemakers and mini-fridges, but no minibars or safes. Traffic noise from the busy street
seeps into the rooms.
Features
Lots of meeting space, a grand ballroom, large gym, lap pool, and a martini bar
The Sheraton Grand Sacramento Hotel has a full floor of meeting and
conference rooms, a grand ballroom, and a fully equipped 24-hour business
center. The fitness center is large and flooded with natural light, with plenty
of weight and cardio machines with attached TVs; the small lap pool is ringed
by a tiny deck with eight sun beds. Morgan’s Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch,
and dinner, with an emphasis on farm-to-table California cuisine in an upscale
casual dining area overlooking the main lobby. Room service is available. The Public Market Bar has a serious martini menu, for indulging "Mad Men" impulses. Pets are provided beds and food bowls.
