Vintage Hotel El Dorado Sacramento CA Hotel Key With Fob Room # 560

Description

The hotel, which has undergone many changes and remains a very unique place, was constructed in an undeveloped area within the southern boundary of the historic Rancho del Paso Mexican land grant.
Located at 500 Leisure Lane, off Highway 160, the hotel was constructed as the dream of Frank F. Sebastian, who moved to Sacramento in 1938.
Sebastian (1896-1976) was well known in the hotel, club and restaurant industry, having operated the California businesses, Café Sebastian, which was located in Venice and featured French and Italian food, the Cotton Club in Culver City and the Hotel Senator at 12th and L streets, just north of the state Capitol.
Sebastian’s Cotton Club, which was the West Coast branch of the Cotton Club of New York City – there was also a branch in Chicago operated by Ralph Capone – drew big name jazz acts during the late 1920s and early 1930s such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway and Abe Lyman.
Partnering with George Artz, Walter E. Fazzio and Hal Ellis
