Western Hotel, was an historical hotel in Sacramento, California. The site of the former hotel is a California Historical Landmark No. 601 listed on May 22, 1957. The Western Hotel was at/near the intersection of 2nd street and K Street, Sacramento and owned by William Land. The site is now a Parking lot under the Interstate 5 in California.[1]

The site has had two hotels built at the location: An 1853 Hotel, and later the second Western Hotel, was built on the site in 1875 by William Land. The 1875 Hotel was one of the largest and grandest hotels in the western states at the time of completion. The 1854 Hotel supported the California Gold Rush Pioneers, it was built two blocks from the Sacramento waterfront and Central Pacific Railroad station. The 1875 building was removed when the Interstate 5 highway was built though the town in the 1960s. The original Sacramento Bee Building, California Historical Landmark No. 611 was also taken down at the same time.[1]
