Sterling Hotel Sacramento

Situated 3 blocks from the State Capitol, Sacramento's Sterling Hotel looks like, and actually was, a Victorian mansion from yesteryear when the amber glow of gas-lit lamps would merge with the pristine white facade and the green lawn with the neatly paved entrance, with a horse drawn carriage awaiting guests, and creating an etherally beautiful landscape of charm and warmth and old southern style hospitality.

Today's Sterling Hotel, from the outside, looks much like the mansion did in the 1890s. Only, the inside is now a modern hotel with 17 impeccable guest rooms, a four star restaurant - the Chanterelle - and all the amenities and little perks which guests expect from an upscale hotel.

The old money atmosphere which the Sterling exudes draws not only visitors looking for things to do in Sacramento, and a storied, comfortable and luxurious place to stay, but also Sacramento residents for whom the combination of the stylish catering from the Chanterelle and the Sterling's magnificient ballroom with chandeliers, beautiful stained glass rotunda and arched beveled mirrors, and the seven-foot ivy laced topiaries offers a perfect setting for weddings, receptions, parties, tea gatherings and holiday events. Simply put, the Sterling is not only a high-class act, its also a status symbol for Sacramento's upper class.

Eeach of the 17 rooms at the Sterling have been exquisitely furnished and designed to recreate a Victorain aura along with the latest amenities, with Italian marble tiled bathrooms and jacuzzis, four poster beds, chandelier lighting, continental breakfast and a reception bar in the lobby, and individual attention and personalized care for each guest.
