Facility Overview
Located at 557 S Hope St, the Paragon Parking Lot #502 is situated in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. This facility functions as a garage-style parking environment. Please note that due to the layout of this urban structure, some visitors may be required to leave their keys with an attendant during peak periods to maximize parking density. The facility is best suited for standard sedans, compact cars, and mid-size SUVs; drivers of oversized trucks or high-roof commercial vans should exercise caution regarding vertical clearance constraints typical of older downtown structures.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before any major local event to account for downtown traffic. As this is an attendant-managed facility, ensure your vehicle is free of excessive clutter if you are required to leave your keys. Always keep your parking ticket secure if paying on-site, and check local apps for potential digital payment updates. Be prepared for potential surge pricing during high-attendance events at nearby venues.
