Los Angeles Athletic Club

Founded in 1880, the LAAC has adapted to the new influx of young, moneyed folk in Downtown, and, per a 2011 LA Times write-up, seems to be “gaining traction with up-and-comers attracted by the combination of gym facilities and ‘Mad Men’-style retro chic”. The club’s facilities include a pool; basketball, handball, and squash courts; and boutique hotel rooms. Famous members include Charlie Chaplin, Colonel James B. Lankershim, and Esther Williams.
