Unlike California’s glitzy coastal cities, Sacramento’s Central Valley location gives it a sincere, small-town, inviting, and unpretentious feel. In this article, we scoured independent guest reviews after independent guest reviews and compiled the top boutique hotels in Sacramento we could find on Booking.com, and to make it more fun, we threw in some cozy instagrammable homes hosted on Vrbo.

Despite its impressive features, California’s capital, Sacramento, often goes overlooked as a travel destination. It’s situated at the convergence of two striking rivers and boasts sprawling shade trees, making it feel like an urban park. Sacramento’s cultural scene and unique architecture further add to its charm. The city features midcentury modern homes, Craftsman Bungalows, ornate Victorians, and the birthplace of Tower Records.

The Art Deco Tower Theatre and its colorful Tower Cafe remain open and thriving. Additionally, the Crocker Art Museum’s Teel Family Pavilion, a 125,000-square-foot modernist expansion, tripled the museum’s size in 2010.
