You'll know you are nearing the Ryde when you spot its tall water tower reaching for the Delta sky.

This 120 feet tower once provided the source of water for the hotel. Today, it serves as a reservoir for irrigation water and is a well known, distinctive California Delta landmark that can be seen for miles throughout the Delta.

The grounds around the Ryde provide a park-like natural setting that pleases the eye and soothes the soul. Whether you’re here for a wedding, corporate retreat, weekend getaway, Sunday Champagne Buffet Brunch, or just stopping by for a visit, a stroll around the grounds of the property will provide a welcome transition to “Delta time.”

The greenery of the Executive Nine golf course provides a colorful visual pattern lying between the facility’s large  parking lot that borders the Sacramento River and Highway 160, and the agricultural fields that border the west side of the property. The carefully manicured lawn, flowers, and trees provide the perfect setting for weddings, special events, or simply enjoying the special natural beauty that is an integral part of the ambiance and experience at Ryde Hotel and Event Center

Mother Nature has graced the Ryde setting with its own special brand of California Delta sunrises and sunsets. If your heart resonates to the inner peace and serenity that can be found through natural beauty, you will appreciate the Ryde’s special early morning and evening settings and views that await you.

You’ll love the relaxed, natural setting of the  20,000 gallon swimming pool area. This is a great place to get your daily exercise, relax, have fun, or simply enjoy a good book while soaking up the warm rays of the Delta sun.

The Ryde Hotel and Event Center’s  private boat dock accommodates any size motor boat or yacht, and is located directly across from the hotel on the west side of the Sacramento River. (More Boat Dock Information)

Inside the Lobby warm greetings and authentic smiles welcome guests. The pace is noticeably relaxed; this is where "Delta Time" begins. "Delta Time" can be spent many ways while staying in one of 42 refurbished rooms. Although the decor will remind you of times past, the building has been set up with “wi-fi” high speed internet access so that guests can enjoy the convenience of internet access whether their stay is a brief one for a corporate meeting or an extended family vacation.

The upstairs art deco bar area provides a cozy and relaxed setting for friendly conversations. Whatever your favorite beer, wine, cocktail or after dinner drink, you will most likely find it here.

The outdoor patios (upstairs and downstairs) provide their own special charm for al fresco dining and outdoor ambiance unique to the Ryde Hotel and Event Center.

The bar and restaurant are not always open during the week, but the Front Desk has menus from nearby local restaurants.
