The Citizen Hotel Joins Autograph Collection Hotels™ Global Portfolio

Sacramento, California (PRWEB)September 03, 2015

The Citizen hotel in Sacramento, California, which was recently acquired by Platinum Equity, is the latest addition to Autograph Collection Hotels, Marriott International’s exclusive portfolio of properties recognized for celebrating individuality.

“Our goal is to give guests of the Citizen an upscale luxury experience with a location convenient to all that downtown Sacramento has to offer,” said Michael George, President and CEO of Crescent Hotels & Resorts. “The partnership with Autograph Collection has positioned us to present this superb and unique property to business and leisure travelers alike.”

Located less than half a mile from the California State Capitol building, The Citizen occupies the historic California Life Insurance Building, California’s first sky-scraper, built in 1925. Guests of the hotel will be treated to a truly one-of-a-kind experience, as no two rooms are exactly alike and each offers a different view of downtown Sacramento. On the historic thirteenth floor, for example, gorgeous tile mosaics adorn each bathroom.

The Citizen seamlessly marries the historic with the modern, offering amenities such as iPod sound systems and LCD high-definition televisions in each room. Boasting 9,000 square feet of meeting space, including a beautiful 3,000 square foot tented roof deck with city views, the hotel is the perfect destination for any meeting, wedding or special event.

Grange Restaurant and bar is located on the grounds of the Citizen. The restaurant incorporates farm fresh ingredients from the local farms of Central California into delicious seasonal menus. The Grange is also terrific choice for intimate gatherings, offering a private dining room for up to twenty guests.

The Citizen is truly a unique establishment, located within walking distance to the most powerful building in California and offering modern amenities with historic charm.
