Most cities provide hotels and short-term housing options for business travelers. Americans make more than 405 million long-distance business trips yearly which is 16% of all U.S. travel.
For many travelers, especially those flying into Sacramento, it can be for political reasons, too. The state capitol of California is always buzzing with activity. Lobbyists arrive to advocate for a bill. Senators and Congressmen shuttle back and forth from their districts. Political rallies and protests frequently show up for a media opportunity in front of the capitol building. Even people on business will fly in to compete for lucrative contracts at a state, county, or city level. Some meetings may take a day or two, but others require more time.
The good news is that Sacramento’s short-term housing is only a few blocks from California’s State Capitol. The accommodations are ideally suited for political business in a “government town.”
For instance, Luella has a walk score of 94 and is only seven blocks away from the Capitol building. If the trek is longer, a light rail station is right on site too. The property is Clean, hip, and close to dining, shopping, and nightlife. Hardwood-style floors, modern ceiling fans, and air conditioning keep guests cool during hot months. Luella is a great Sacramento short-term housing option.
The Envoy is situated near Cathedral Square, where frequent political pressers happen nearby. This location is two blocks from Capitol Park, the Capitol, and downtown entertainment. It’s also a walk to Prelude Kitchen & Bar, where political meetings and fine dining intercede. None of the staff are strangers to very private conversations! The Envoy provides a modern, minimalist vibe with full kitchens and washers/dryers in the apartments. Guests can enjoy the on-site gym and business center. The rooftop terrace is a great spot to unwind and view downtown Sacramento differently.
Networking and Schmoozing are all part of Sacramento Politics
Out-of-towners searching for Sacramento short-term housing might also need to know some of the best places to wine and dine their guests. “Schmoozing” is a daily activity at the California state capitol. What’s needed may depend on the personality of others. For instance, maybe a few rounds of golf and a good burger will make the right impression. In that case, WLP Golf Course. Is a nine-hole course nestled in lovely William Land Regional Park. And Mulligans Café serves up some good grub, local beer and wines.
If a client would appreciating starting off with a classy happy hour and ending with a four-star Michelin meal, Ella restaurant on K Street is the answer. We advise diners pre-plan and make their reservation early.
Another Michelin-star dining experience can be found at The Kitchen serving locally sourced, seasonal dishes. It’s a trendy, slightly “hidden” establishment where folks “in the know” understand where it is. Booking a reservation far in advance is the best way to get in.
If schmoozing includes impressing a classic car enthusiast, booking a car with the Automobile Museum goes the extra mile. A museum driver can pick guests up in a glossy 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan or a 1960 Nash Metropolitan. Then, cruise the nearby parks and streets to eventually arrive at a midtown bar. For someone who’s on a trip for business and politics, there are several benefits to booking short-term housing in Sacramento near the state capitol!
