Facility Overview
The LAZ Parking facility at Constitution Plaza, specifically serving the South Garage, is a premier, multi-level covered parking structure located in the heart of downtown Hartford, Connecticut. This facility offers significant protection from the elements, making it an excellent choice for long-term or short-term parking. The garage is designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and most mid-size to full-size SUVs. Drivers should be mindful of standard vertical clearance limitations typical of urban parking decks; while most standard consumer vehicles fit comfortably, high-roof vans or vehicles equipped with large aftermarket roof cargo carriers should proceed with caution and confirm height restrictions at the entry signage.
