Best Sacramento Boutique Hotels

If you're heading to Sacramento and don't want to stay in one of the big chain hotels, you can stay at a number of more intimate and luxurious "boutique" hotels in the River City. The "boutique" experience is considered much more personal due to the smaller number of rooms and services offered. Some 'boutique' hotels are located in old homes or inns, while others are newly built. In Sacramento, you can find both.
