The Westin Sacramento Riverfront Hotel & Spa Unveils New Name and Multimillion-Dollar Transformation

Renovation of upscale, contemporary hotel delivers enhanced guest experience

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --  The Westin Sacramento Riverfront Hotel & Spa is pleased to announce its new name and unveil its multimillion-dollar renovation. Nestled along the historic Sacramento River, the upscale, contemporary hotel has transformed all of its 101 spacious guestrooms and suites, its striking lobby and check-in area, and expansive meetings and events spaces. The property will also debut a newly constructed private marina in early spring 2025, where guests can host private events and local boaters can dock and enjoy the hotel's offerings. The Westin Sacramento Riverfront Hotel & Spa is owned by Monarch Alternative Capital and operated by HHM Hotels, an award-winning hotel management and investment company that operates over 235 full-service and select-service hotels across the United States and Canada.

"We are thrilled that with our newly renamed and transformed hotel, we will be able to provide our sophisticated clientele with an elevated stay experience," says Ryan Opatz, General Manager, Westin Riverfront Hotel and Spa. "Our enhanced guestroom and public area offerings, matched by our exceptional guest services and the incredible views of the renowned Sacramento River, combine to create an unforgettable stay."

Wilson Ishihara Design was tapped to helm the hotel's redesign. From the moment guests step into the hotel lobby, they will be met with an expansive live plant and pottery display by ceramic artist Giselle Hicks, and a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere, with bright and airy spaces boasting elevated fixtures and warm wooden accents. Adorned throughout the lobby, the curated art collection aims to capture the essence of the Sacramento River and surrounding agricultural landscape. Inspired by and paying homage to the nearby river, the key palettes within the lobby include textured limestone, terrazzo and white oak wood tones, punctuated by sage and blush colored upholstery fabrics. The sofas and chaise lounges embellish the lobby, artfully placed to generate social connections and provide an eclectic and residential atmosphere. While the newly added local artisans shop features hand-crafted goods from Sacramento-based artists and purveyors, guests can also purchase cigars from the encased cigar box to enjoy along the river, making The Westin Sacramento Riverfront Hotel & Spa the first hotel to be authorized to sell cigars on site in the Sacramento area.

Guests now have three refreshment options found throughout the lobby, including unlimited wine on tap from neighboring wineries in Clarksburg and Napa Valley, available through the purchase of a wine card at the front desk, as well as the cozy latte and pastry bar, which receives fresh, locally delivered pastries each morning. Within the check-in area is the newly built marble, Westin WELL, offering alkaline, still, or sparkling water for guests to refill their complimentary, reusable water bottles they receive upon check in. Guests may also feel refreshed as they notice the signature fragrance of The Westin wafting throughout the lobby, featuring notes of white tea, woodsy cedar and soothing vanilla scents, by White Tea.

The hotel's 101 remodeled guestrooms and suites include four Sacramento Executive rooms, four Junior Suites, The Golden State Suite and The Riverfront Suite, which all reflect a neutral color palette with subtle gray and brown wooden panels and navy blue tones, emulating a feeling of relaxation and well-being. Standout features within the stylish and cozy guestrooms include timeless marble counters, a spacious claw-foot bathtub, separate showers and soothing bath amenities from White Tea. Renowned for delivering restorative sleep for its guests, the Westin's Heavenly® Bed allows for guests to recharge and rejuvenate on its plush top mattresses enhanced by upgraded bedding design and hypoallergenic materials. The replaced carpeting within the guestrooms and along the hallways reflect the iconic Sacramento River with its soft blue and gray wave-like patterns. Guestroom amenities include a large flat screen TV, a pull-out sofa in select standard rooms and suites, a large marbled work table, a mini refrigerator, a coffee machine, The Westin Honor Bar with cookies and Tahoe Artesian water, room service and a microwave, available upon request.

Debuting in early spring 2025, The Westin Sacramento Riverfront Hotel & Spa's private marina will allow guests to host events, experience movie nights under the stars, enjoy exclusive tastings and more. The marina will also be open for guests along the river to dock their boats while visiting the property, whether for the day or overnight.

Those who enjoy a good meal with a great view can head to Scott's Seafood on the River, located within the hotel. Voted one of Sacramento's best seafood restaurants, Scott's serves up fresh sustainably harvested seafood, with menu highlights including Dungeness crab cakes, pan seared scallops, miso glazed atlantic salmon, and grilled steaks including a 14 oz ribeye or Harris Ranch marinated skirt steak. Diners can also opt in for the Seafood Tower, featuring an abundant selection of fresh shellfish. Scott's is open every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as brunch on the weekend.
