Freehand Los Angeles

The Freehand Los Angeles occupies the historic 1924 Commercial Exchange building in Downtown L.A. The Broken Shaker, an award-winning bar recognized by Tales of the Cocktail and Esquire's 'Best Bars in America', operates on the rooftop. The property includes a rooftop pool with 360-degree city views and a pool bar, plus a nightclub and live music events on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The Exchange restaurant serves multi-cultural Israeli cuisine in a space that once housed the old Owl Pharmacy, designed by the renowned Roman & Williams team. Cafe Integral offers coffee in the mornings, and Rudolphs operates as the lobby bar. Guests can also find a taco truck located directly in front of the hotel.

Private rooms include a 49-inch flat-screen cable TV, a work desk, and many offer city views with seating by the window. Shared rooms feature bunk beds with individual lights and charging ports, plus a locker (locks not provided). The building's original architectural features remain visible throughout the guest spaces, including 1930s-style decor elements.

The hotel is 800 meters from L.A. Live and 900 meters from Microsoft Theater. Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center) is one kilometer away, and Dodger Stadium is a short drive. The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and the Museum of Contemporary Art are also within walking distance.

Valet parking is available for $59 per night, and a nearby garage on Olive Street offers self-parking for $35 per day with no in-and-out privileges. The hotel accepts dogs as pets and provides a 24-hour front desk and concierge service. Key card access and safety deposit boxes are available in guest rooms.
