We propose a new definition for the mass and angular momentum of neutral or electrically charged black holes in 2+1 gravity with two Killing vectors. These finite conserved quantities, associated with the SL(2,R) invariance of the reduced mechanical system, are shown to be identical to the quasilocal conserved quantities for an improved gravitational action corresponding to mixed boundary conditions. They obey a general Smarr-like formula and, in all cases investigated, are consistent with the first law of black hole thermodynamics. Our framework is applied to the computation of the mass and angular momentum of black hole solutions to several field-theoretical models.
