Description

Hotel Figueroa’s reputation as a magnet for progressive thinkers first put it on the map nearly a century ago—and now, Chef AJ McCloud and Chef Jan Claudio’s culinary artistry keeps visitors and locals coming back in droves. Our restaurants provide an intimate retreat from the bustle of Downtown Los Angeles. Our chefs use the best locally sourced ingredients to create uniquely flavorful, ingredient-forward menus making Hotel Figueroa a sought-after destination for serious foodies. The atmosphere lends homage to the coastal lifestyle where art meets fashion amidst a serene backdrop. Our farm-to-glass cocktails enhance the dining experience and are conversation-starters themselves. Food and beverage will be accompanied by ongoing programming including eclectic poolside vibes with live musicians and performance art in an electric scene that keeps L.A.'s best and brightest buzzing into the wee hours.Sparrow is a modern coastal Italian restaurant located at Hotel Figueroa, the award-winning preserved treasure in Downtown Los Angeles. Sparrow features an expansive menu by Chef AJ McCloud and Chef Jan Claudio consisting of comforting Italian and Mediterranean classics with creative twists, offering a selection of pasta, pizzas, and other wood-fired creations that exude bold flavors and high-quality, sustainable, and organic ingredients. Its cuisines are complemented by adventurous mixology that uses fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the finest spirits to craft dynamic cocktails all rooted in the flavors of Italy. Offering a resort-like respite, Sparrow’s signature design transports guests to the enchanting southern European coast. The restaurant features a cathedral-like entryway, velvet draped arches, modern light fixtures, and the use of marble, tile insets, and wood, all contributing to the romantic Coastal Italian and Mediterranean aesthetic.
