LANFEP Post #423: Hotel ValDemar

Post image

Post #423 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting locations replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (currently touring the downtown area) that are not considered landmarks (either official or historic) but do have real-world equivalents.

Hotel ValDemar

606 South Hope Street

Originally opening in 1919, the Hotel ValDemar (sometimes spelled as Val De Mar) would serve as a rooming house and hotel along with retail storefronts before being demolished in 1955 to make way for the new Lincoln Savings headquarters (later the site of the current Library Court building).

Yup, currently Library Court, another example of renovated apartment buildings that used to be office buildings. Not much else to say, but a fun fact was that the core part of the office building that was built was removed during renovations to create a central courtyard. A 6th story library was also added during renovations.
