Freehand Los Angeles - A historic Commercial Exchange building with rooftop pool, award-winning bars, and Israeli dining

The 4-star Freehand Los Angeles houses multiple dining venues, including The Exchange restaurant serving Israeli cuisine and locally-sourced ingredients, and Cafe Integral offering Nicaraguan coffee selections. The property's award-winning Broken Shaker rooftop bar, recognized as Tales of the Cocktail's Best American Hotel Bar, serves handcrafted cocktails with homemade elixirs. Guest rooms feature 43-inch LED TVs, work desks, and seating areas, while some offer skyline views through oversized windows. The property provides both private rooms and shared accommodations with custom cedar bunk beds. The Museum of Contemporary Art is 1 mile away, while LA Live entertainment complex is within 0.5 miles.
Pros
Winner of Tales of the Cocktail's Best American Hotel Bar award and James Beard Award finalist
Rudolph's Bar & Tea offers unique tea-infused cocktails and full tea service
Custom-designed interiors by renowned firm Roman & Williams
On-site boutique Flowerboy sells local artisanal goods
Cons
Overnight valet parking costs $59.40 including tax
Pool chairs are not reservable and operate on first-come basis
“The rooftop bar, a recognized spot in Esquire's 'Best Bars in America', pairs city views with handcrafted cocktails; inside, the echoes of the historic 1924 Commercial Exchange building meet modern Mexican flavors. A cultivated community vibe encourages mingling around the rooftop pool, though light sleepers might find the downtown energy seeping through vintage windows.”

7.6/10
The hotel has a charming old-world vibe and the lobby bar is a fantastic spot to relax and work. The food at the on-site restaurant is top-notch, especially with a chef who engages with guests. However, the rooftop bar experience was marred by uncomfortable interactions with some staff, and the late-night taco vans outside contributed to noise disturbances. Overall, it's a mixed bag with some standout features and areas that need improvement.

The rooftop bar has a great ambiance, though my experience there was tainted by the behavior of one bartender.
