The historic Hotel Figueroa in downtown Los Angeles is hosting an exhibit featuring local artist Shyama Golden to celebrate Women’s History Month.
The hotel originally opened in the ’20s as a safe haven for women at a time when it was looked down on for women to stay at hotels on their own, according to managing director Connie Wang.
The hotel features a coffin-shaped pool, and legend has it it was built to “bury the patriarchy,” Wang said.
