Welcome to the first edition of The State of The Citizen, where you will receive updates on the evolution of The Citizen Hotel, Sacramento's first luxury boutique hotel, at the corner of 10th & J Streets. We are currently four months from our scheduled November opening date, and there is a constant flurry of activity at the hotel. Trim work, paint and wallpaper are going in on the guestroom floors, along with tile in the bathrooms - it's really beginning to look like a hotel now!

While it doesn't look like much from the street level, we're about to experience quite a bit of activity on the 10th Street side of the building. Work has begun on the bump-out atrium for our signature restaurant, Grange. Trenches have been dug and a mock-up of the steel frame is at the site, giving us a real feel for the size of the space. Check out where we are currently and what we're anticipating once the dust settles.

The Citizen’s sales and catering team is in place and booking business for 2009 and beyond. Our meeting spaces are all framed-out and are ready for you to come and view, especially the Terrace Deck that has expansive views, including the State Capitol Building. We are excited to work with you; please let us know how we can assist you by calling us at (916) 447-2700.

The first three meeting or event planners that schedule a tour with us will receive a complimentary one-night stay at a Joie de Vivre Hotel, the largest boutique hotelier in California.
