Hotels Near Golden 1 Center? Stay at a Vacation Rental Instead
City of Trees House is a 3-bedroom vacation rental 5 minutes from Golden 1 Center, home of the Sacramento Kings (NBA) and the busiest concert arena in Northern California. Private hot tub, neon game room, free driveway parking, sleeps up to 10. Smarter value than a downtown hotel for Kings games, concerts, and family trips.

500 David J Stern Walk in Downtown Sacramento. 17,583-seat arena opened in 2016. Home of the Sacramento Kings (NBA).

Why a Vacation Rental Beats a Hotel for Kings Games and Concerts
Downtown hotels near Golden 1 Center charge $250-450/night on event nights, especially for marquee concerts and Kings games against rival teams. Our 3-bedroom house sleeps up to 10 for less than the price of a single hotel room on a concert night. Plus you get hot tub, neon game room with arcade and pool table, gourmet kitchen, backyard fire pit, three bathrooms, washer and dryer, and free driveway parking — saves another $25-40 in arena parking alone.
