"The Freehand is a thoroughly modern, chic hotel in DTLA. Yes, some of the rooms are shared accommodation, but they feel more like stylish cabins with rustic wooden bunk beds, colorful quilts, and chic tiled bathrooms. The décor is full of personality, with quirky details, like pink loungers by the rooftop pool and a wooden hut for a cocktail bar—a James Beard finalist for best American bar, no less."
