Hyatt Renovation Celebration

So, if you haven't been to the Hyatt Regency Sacramento recently, you must swing by and take a peek!

A little party was held there last night to celebrate the newly renovated lobby, lounge, Vines Restaurant, second floor meeting space, 12th floor suite and the amazing 360 degree view of the 15th floor Capitol View Room. I felt like one of the luckiest girls in the world--sipping wine at the top of the Hyatt with my sweetie, and taking in the absolute best view in town of Sacramento and the State Capitol.

Me and my date! :)

The Hyatt Sacramento applied for and received a Hyatt Community Grant which nominates and honors local non-profit organizations for funding built around the Hyatt's philanthropic pillars--Environmental sustainability, education and personal advancement, economic development and investment or health and wellness. Hyatt Sacramento is one of only 27 Hyatt properties worldwide to be recognized to receive a grant. Their nominated non-profit organization, the Stanford Settlement Neighborhood Center received this honor and a $15,000 check at the event. KCRA's footage of the new space is here.

Another reason to check out the Hyatt? It's Dine Downtown week through January 18th, and Dawson's Restaurant is one of the participating restaurants. You can check out their menu here, and make a reservation on Open Table here.


Built in 1988, the Hyatt Regency Sacramento was considered a key pillar in the redevelopment of the central downtown business community and a vital part of the future of Sacramento's tourism industry.
