The Sterling Hotel offers guests the best of both worlds in the center of Sacramento. This charming Victorian mansion set on beautifully landscaped gardens feels like a countryside retreat, yet it is only several blocks from the city’s downtown shopping plaza, the State Capitol, and the convention center. Just 17 rooms are available here, and the accommodations reflect the hotel’s dedication to detail with fresh flowers and elegant furnishings. The period furnishings vary in each room and include many reproductions and some antiques. Italian marble bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs add a luxurious element to the accommodations. A continental breakfast is included in the room rate, and the hotel’s Chanterelle restaurant (see) is a lovely spot for gourmet lunches and dinners.
