Keep Fit in Sacramento

Friday, May 24, 2013 by Dawn Brown

Nutritious eating options aren’t the only factor in planning a healthy meeting.  Physical activity is another component you need to consider.  According to Destination Hotels & Resorts, 54 percent of planners indicated that adventure/active options were of great interest this coming year.  This may be a current meeting trend, but incorporating physical activity has so many health benefits that can directly affect your meeting.

As we all know, sitting for long periods of time is hard on the body.  It strains the back, slows down the processes that metabolize calories, fogs the brain and causes ants-in-the-pants syndrome.  According to WebMD, incorporating physical activity in your day affects the nervous system and sets off pleasure chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine that make us feel calm, happy and euphoric.  In fact, single bouts of exercise can reduce anxiety for several hours afterward. Christin Anderson, MS, wellness and fitness coordinator of the University of San Francisco, says "You can think more clearly, perform better and your morale is better. This is pure science -- stimulate your nervous system and function at a higher level."
 
Keeping fit in Sacramento is easy to do.  Blocks from the Sacramento Convention Center, our Downtown and Midtown areas are chockfull of fitness options – from corporate health clubs such as California Family Fitness,  24 Hour Fitness and The Capital Athletic Club to indoor rock climbing, boxing and marital arts, yoga studios and boot camps.  The track at the State Capitol is trekked by many in suits and sneakers, and our 32-mile American River Parkway is traveled by walkers, joggers and bikers.  For more on walking and jogging options see the article below, “Breakout (and Walk) Session.”  Group trainers are also available to provide workout sessions right there at your meeting site.

Incorporating time for physical activity ensures a healthier and happier delegation…and ultimately a successful and memorable meeting.   
 

Hyatt Regency Downtown Sacramento Celebrating 25 Years with Deals for Past Nuptuals

Tuesday, May 21, 2013 by Brandon Darnell

 

The Hyatt Regency in Downtown Sacramento opened its doors for the first time 25 years ago, and since then, it has maintained a AAA Four-Diamond rating. Just steps from the Sacramento Convention Center, the Hyatt is centrally located for meeting planners and tourists alike, who can walk to the major Sacramento tourist attractions from its front door.

To celebrate 25 years in business, the Hyatt recently gave away 25 rooms for $25 per night to people who had stayed at the hotel 25 years ago. Soon, the Hyatt will announce another promotion – giving $25 hotel rooms to couples who had their wedding receptions on the grounds. For more information on that, follow the hotel’s Facebook page.

 

Two of the people who stayed at the Hyatt in its opening year were Dennis and Kathryn Raymond, who spent their first night as a married couple in the then-new Hyatt.

 

In the last 25 years, Kathryn, an artist who painted with others during the opening of the Crocker Art Museum’s new wing in 2010, said she has been to several charity events at the hotel.

 

Dennis, an executive with F&M Bank, said the layout is similar, but the Hyatt has been upgraded over the years to maintain a fresh and inviting look.

But what does the couple remember most about the hotel from their first stay?

 

“Room service,” Kathryn said with a laugh. “We were starving after our wedding reception, because we barely got to eat. No one tells you beforehand, but you spend all your time socializing and then afterward you realize how hungry you are.”

 

Dennis said he remembers eating big portions of whatever sounded good on the menu, including breaded cheese sticks and spaghetti.

 

“It was really good, and the service was excellent,” he said.

 

As newlyweds, the Raymonds – who lived in Sacramento – took advantage of a lower rate for local residents before heading off to their honeymoon on the Northern California coast in Mendocino.

 

“We were excited, because we’d never really felt so grown-up before, and here we were as a married couple staying in the nicest and newest hotel in the city,” Dennis said.

 

Today, the Hyatt Regency Sacramento, located at 1209 L St., remains one of the city’s flagship hotels, situated on the recently revitalized downtown section of K Street, it is just feet from the Sacramento Convention Center and overlooks the Capitol and Capitol Park.

Why does Tourism Matter in Sacramento?

Tuesday, May 7, 2013 by Brandon Darnell

When people think of the difference tourism makes in Sacramento, it's about more than just showcasing the historic sights in the city, highlighting our thriving arts culture and bringing groups to the Sacramento Convention Center. Tourism makes a difference for Sacramento residents as well as those who arrive to get an authentic California experience.

 

Each year, 15.3 million visitors come to Sacramento. They come to see the epicenter of the Gold Rush in historic Old Sacramento, view stunning works of art in the newly expanded Crocker Art Museum, explore the rivers and delta, and get a closer look at the history of the railroad at the California State Railroad Museum. Class trips frequently visit the California State Capitol, and people are increasingly coming to sample some of our farm-to-fork food, as Sacramento was recently named the Farm-to-Fork Capital of America.

 

But those visitors bring something that also helps local residents. While they're here, visitors spend money, and that money contributes to the local economy in not only the hospitality industry, but also translates to tax money that goes to the general funds in local governments, which pay for services including police, fire, pools and parks.

 

As we celebrate National Travel and Tourism Week, we look at some of the impacts tourism has on the local economy in Sacramento. Check out the infographic below for a quick look at some of those impacts.

Sacramento Photos: Our Fans Share Shots of the Sacramento River, Artists, Downtown Sacramento and Local Coffee

Thursday, April 18, 2013 by Brandon Darnell

 

Sacramento offers a wealth of picturesque sights, fun adventures and hidden corners perfect for relaxation. Our most recent fan photos show a variety of some of the things we like to do in the springtime, from boating to performance arts to simply kicking back and relaxing with a latte.

 

If you’d like to submit your photo of Sacramento, message it to us or post it on our wall on our Facebook page.

 

Sacramento is a city built at the confluence of the American and Sacramento rivers, and locals and visitors alike take to our waterways, especially in the warmer spring and summer months. This photo submitted by Tracy Counts shows a boat at the Riverbank Marina.

Boating in Sacramento

Another of Sacramento’s strong points is its diversity of locally owned coffee places, which outnumber the larger chain locations. Mattie Allison Doan shared this photo of lattes at Broadacre Coffee, which is a relatively new spot opened in a former bookstore located at 1014 10th St. in Downtown Sacramento.

Lattes at Broadacre Coffee in Sacramento

There’s no shortage of unique buildings in the Sacramento area, and one that sticks out is the Ziggurat Building across the river in West Sacramento, shown in this photo by Adam Lundt. West Sacramento’s River Walk Park is located near the Ziggurat Building and Raley Field, and it’s one of the best places in the area to get a photo of Downtown Sacramento.

Ziggurat Building in West Sacramento

Of course, heading across the river isn’t the only place to get a fantastic shot of Downtown Sacramento. This photo by JHowat Media was taken from the top floor of a publicly accessible parking garage at 14th and H streets. You can see much of Downtown Sacramento and all the way to Tower Bridge next to Old Sacramento.

Downtown Sacramento Lights

Speaking of Tower Bridge, it makes an appearance in this photo submitted by Jessica Bianucci of her friend, Lexi Whaley, who is a local dancer. Sacramento has a wealth of performing arts, from the Sacramento Ballet to numerous theaters showing locally produced shows or Broadway hits. Find out what events will be going on when you stay here by visiting Sacramento 365.

The rivers are great, but swimming pools are just as popular, and this shot of a rooftop swimming pool in Downtown Sacramento comes from Billy’s Market & Deli. While this one is only open to residents of the building, many Sacramento hotels offer outside or rooftop swimming pools. Check our Sacramento hotels website for special rates and events.
