The Spotlight on Kimpton Sawyer Hotel By IHG

Downtown Vibes & Rooftop Views at Kimpton Sawyer Hotel

Modern and effortlessly stylish, Kimpton Sawyer Hotel sits right in the heart of Sacramento’s buzzing Downtown Commons (DOCO). With sleek decor, luxe touches, and an inviting rooftop pool scene, this hotel blends comfort with a high-energy location that concert-goers will love. It’s just steps from major entertainment venues and surrounded by restaurants, making it the perfect launchpad for a music-filled night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans rave about the walkable location—you're just minutes from Sacramento’s biggest venues. Late check-in (from 4 PM) gives you time to settle in before a show, and the 24-hour front desk means you’re never locked out after a late night. Despite the lively area, the rooms offer a quiet escape with soundproofing and plush beds for post-show recovery. Plus, the hotel offers free bicycle rentals if you’re exploring the city before or after your event.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish crash pad with a rooftop hangout
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
  • Fans seeking a quieter space post-show while still being central
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want chic vibes (watch for deals!)

Food and Drink Options

If you're hungry after the encore, Revival at the Sawyer—the rooftop lounge—serves creative cocktails and tasty bar bites well into the night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, there are multiple on-site and nearby dining options in DOCO, so you’re never far from a late-night bite. Expect Nespresso machines in every room and breakfast options available nearby for those slow mornings after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

  • Revival at the Sawyer often hosts DJs and live music, making it a scene of its own
  • Bars and lounges in DOCO are just outside the front door
  • Chill with a drink by the rooftop pool or explore Sacramento’s vibrant bar scene within walking distance

What People Say

Guests love the modern aesthetic, friendly staff, and prime location. Many highlight the rooftop pool and bar as a favorite hangout before or after events. Reviews frequently mention how clean and comfortable the rooms are, and how easy it is to get to nearby venues, restaurants, and attractions.

Areas for Improvement

Parking is available but comes with a fee, so plan accordingly. Some guests note that the hotel can be busy during events or weekends—which is part of its appeal for some but may not suit those looking for total seclusion. Also, while there’s no free breakfast, there are plenty of nearby spots to grab a bite.

The Bottom Line

With its unbeatable location, rooftop energy, and concert-friendly perks, Kimpton Sawyer Hotel is a top pick for music lovers visiting downtown Sacramento.

Good

Liked: Great location, nice amenities and facilities but be aware you are charged an amenity fee of $25.00 as part of the booking cost so you are paying for them.
Disliked: Unfortunately had two separate instances of the hotel charging me in error. I had to reach out and contact them on both charges to request they be reversed. Luckily I was paying attention to my card statement. The staff were quick to respond and correct the charges thankfully, but for the amount I was paying to stay here, I would have hoped this would have been avoided. Check your charges from this hotel after your stay!
