4. Directions & Parking
■Walking Directions to Building Entrance
■Mandatory Building Security Procedures
The City National 2 CAL Visitor Management System requires that all visitors, upon arrival, show a valid photo-ID (passport, driver license, etc.) at the security desk in the first floor lobby to get a name tag. You will then be escorted by the building security to the elevator, where access to our suite (the 17th floor) will be given.
Please, therefore, be sure to bring your photo-ID and allow yourself a few extra minutes for registration at the security desk upon arrival.
■Access by Public Transportation:
We are located about 4 minutes from the Grand Ave Arts/Bunker Hill stop of Los Angeles Metro on the A Line (formerly Gold Line) and E Line (formerly Expo Line). Take an elevator to the bridge level, walk past The Broad to Grand Ave. to the City National 2 Cal building. This route is mostly flat.
We are also located near the Pershing Square stop of Los Angeles Metro on the B Line (formerly Red Line) and D Line (formerly Purple Line). The walk takes about 5-6 minutes up a steep hill on Grand Avenue.
Many bus lines stop directly in front of California Plaza. Please see Metro for subway and bus information. Travel to Union Station in Los Angeles is also possible by Metrolink and Amtrak. Union Station and other downtown locations can be conveniently reached by the LADOT Dash system.
■Parking
City National 2 CAL has underground parking lots. There are entrances on Olive Street and Lower Grand Avenue. The parking rate is $5.00/10 minutes, with a $46.00 daily maximum. Valet parking service is also available. Please be aware, we cannot validate parking. From the parking garage, take the parking elevator to level "P" and proceed up one level to the lobby security desk.
(**Please note that the information noted above may change without notice.)
As an alternative, there are reasonably-priced public parking lots on Olive Street, and Hill Street, as well as metered spaces on Upper Grand Avenue, Olive Street and 4th Street.
