Facility Overview
The Los Angeles Athletic Club (LAAC) Garage, located at 646 S Olive St, is a premier parking facility in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. This structure serves as the primary parking solution for the historic LAAC building, offering a secure, covered parking environment that shields your vehicle from the California sun. The garage is designed primarily for standard passenger vehicles and SUVs. While the structure is robust, motorists driving oversized vehicles, lifted trucks, or high-roof passenger vans should exercise caution and verify clearance upon entry, as is standard for historic DTLA parking structures.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we highly recommend pre-booking your spot through apps like SpotHero during high-attendance event days at nearby venues, as capacity can fill quickly. If you are attending an event, aim to arrive at least 30-45 minutes early to account for DTLA traffic flow. Keep your parking pass or mobile confirmation ready upon entry to expedite the check-in process. Always ensure your vehicle is locked and no valuables are left in sight, as is best practice for all metropolitan parking.
