About this venue
Housed in the historic Commercial Exchange building, our hotel in downtown Los Angeles is truly one-of-a-kind, featuring suites, premium hotel rooms and shared accommodations with interiors designed by Roman & Williams. We’re taking it up a notch in LA, offering upgraded amenities including enhanced bedding, room service, convenient valet and attentive bellman ready to give you a hand. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner, a gathering with friends or celebrating a special occasion, we’re here to provide you with a variety of options tailored to your accommodation and event needs.
Our event spaces
The Exchange
Freehand LA’s restaurant, The Exchange, pays homage to the 12 story vintage blade sign (the largest in LA) under which its entrance proudly sits.
The restaurant is led by the team behind Bar Lab, who brought us the beloved 27 Restaurant at Freehand Miami, and Angeleno chef Alex Chang, best known locally for his Paladar dinner series. Similar to 27 Restaurant in Miami, where dishes explore the city’s many flavors through a Latin lens, the menu at The Exchange explores the multi-cultural flavors of urban LA through an Israeli lens. This is the first restaurant in California from the design team Roman & Williams.
