Delta King Hotel - Sacramento

Historic paddlewheel riverboat hotel in Old Sacramento

A Floating Piece of Sacramento History

The Delta King Hotel is a 1920s paddlewheel riverboat permanently moored on the Sacramento River. This restored vessel retains its original grand dining room, now the Pilothouse Restaurant, and offers guests a stay inside a genuine piece of Sacramento's heritage. The boat's historic character is visible in its wood paneling, stained glass transoms, and pull-chain toilets.

Dining and Onboard Entertainment

The Pilothouse Restaurant serves fresh seasonal dishes in the original grand dining room with river views. Guests can attend a murder mystery dinner theater or enjoy live music performances in the bar, which was once the wheelhouse. A complimentary breakfast is served each morning, and happy hour drinks are available on the sun terrace.

Staterooms with River or City Views

Select staterooms at the Delta King Hotel offer private verandas overlooking the Sacramento River or the historic Old Sacramento district. Each room has a tea and coffee maker, a TV, and free toiletries, but guests should expect cruise-ship-sized spaces with low doorways. The boat is ADA compliant with accessible facilities from the valet parking entrance.

Walkable Location and Local Attractions

The Delta King riverboat is docked directly in Old Sacramento, a 3-minute walk from Old Sacramento State Historic Park and 5 minutes from the California State Railroad Museum. The Crocker Art Museum is 800 metres away, and the California State Capitol is 2 km from the boat. Guests can join walking tours of the historic district or rent bikes from the hotel to explore the Sacramento River Parkway.

Event Spaces and Guest Services

The Delta King Hotel offers multiple event spaces suitable for weddings, corporate meetings, and private parties, including a private room for rehearsal dinners. Valet parking is available for cars, and the hotel provides luggage storage and daily housekeeping. Guests have access to the sun terrace and outdoor seating areas with views of the Tower Bridge.
