Facility Overview
The City National Plaza Garage, located at 400 South Flower Street, stands as a premier parking solution in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). This massive, 11-story structured parking facility offers a highly secure, covered environment designed to protect vehicles from the Southern California sun. The facility features a sophisticated layout designed for high-volume traffic, though drivers should be mindful of the garage clearance, which is strictly capped at 6\' 3\". While standard passenger cars, sedans, and most mid-size SUVs will navigate the facility with ease, owners of lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, or vehicles equipped with roof-mounted cargo carriers should exercise caution or seek alternative surface-lot options.

For the most seamless experience, we highly recommend booking your spot in advance via reputable parking applications to lock in rates and ensure availability during high-demand events. Drivers should note that the garage clearance is 6\' 3\"; please check the height of your vehicle before entry to avoid clearance issues. If you are arriving during peak weekday rush hours, plan for additional time to navigate the central business district traffic. Always keep your digital or printed pass readily accessible for quick entry and exit scans.
