Freehand Los Angeles Hotel Shuttles

A low-cost hostel in L.A.’s inner city, the Freehand Los Angeles offers a fashionable ambiance on the corner of South Olive and West 8th. Housed within the 1920s-era Commercial Exchange Building, the boutique stay is home to wooden bunks with privacy curtains as well as continental breakfast served in the lobby. Other perks include a stylish rooftop pool offering California’s renown sunshine, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the building. Utilize nearby public transportation to see everything with ease as well, taking advantage of the 7th Street Metro Station just three blocks west of the hotel, or the equidistant Pershing Square Subway three blocks north. Meet-and-greet services add an element of professionalism to each transfer, whether it be taxi drop offs to LAX or up-close views of the area from a local personal driver. Private vehicle rentals are also ideal for the free at heart, whether it’s a small sedan for beach-hopping or a chartered bus great for bringing everyone along.

Get to know what’s close to the city with a modest walk around the block, considering nearby landmarks like Pershing Square to see the beauty of L.A.’s everyday passerby, continuing north for even larger green spaces at Grand Park, a massive open-air lawn adjacent to various exhibits like The Broad and The Museum of Contemporary Art - also close to Grand Park are the famous inclined rides aboard Angels Flight. Leave the downtown area altogether for a quick adventure across Griffith Park in the afternoon, a massive urban green space north of the city and offering an array of tough trails that wind through casual landmarks like The Greek Theatre and Griffith Observatory. An especially rewarding path is the Skyline Trail, not only for its awesome city vistas but ending access to the Los Angeles Zoo and Autry Museum of the American West.
