Freehand Los Angeles
Los Angeles, United States
Luxury holidays in Downtown Los Angeles
Oft overlooked in favour of ritzier neighbourhoods, Downtown Los Angeles has had a renaissance in recent years, drawing eyes away from the hills and returning them to the city’s heart. Sure, it lacks the polish and perfect teeth of Hollywood and Beverly Hills, but this ’hood has history and artistic talent, home to Gallery Row, the Fashion District and the Historic Core. Grand art deco buildings from the Twenties and Thirties – Downtown's golden age – still line the older streets, and the centre is full of buzzy restaurants, bars and boutiques. Bonus point: it’s one of the only neighbourhoods in LA that’s pedestrian friendly.
