Travel Back In Time At 9 Of L.A.'s Oldest & Most Historic Bars

The Figueroa Hotel

Stepping into The Figueroa Hotel automatically transports you to another world. The 1930s Moroccan-style hotel was renovated after The Great Depression and remains largely untouched. Decorated with bougainvillea-shrouded verandas, tiled bars, stained glass and wooden stools, the atmosphere at Figueroa Hotel creates an unlikely oasis in the heart of Downtown L.A. Like the guest rooms, dining and common areas such as the poolside Veranda Bar and lobby cafe are filled with antiques from places all around the world, including Morocco, Mexico, Turkey and India, giving the hotel an eclectic atmosphere rich in story. Best part? The hotel steers clear of any present-day luxuries so as to preserve their unique and antiquated vibe. The Figueroa Hotel 939 South Figueroa St. Los Angeles, CA [via, via]
