Character and identity
Set inside the 1922 Giannini Building, a Neoclassical former Bank of Italy in downtown Los Angeles, Hotel Per La trades on old-world bones reworked for the present. The 241 rooms and suites, dressed by Jacques Garcia in studded leather headboards, free-standing tubs and densely hung photography, feel more like residential apartments than hotel keys. The cavernous lobby restaurant Per La Ora sits beneath a restored blue and gold Italianate ceiling, with chef Courtney Van Dyke turning out Italian-inflected California cooking. Rooftop Bar Clara anchors the pool deck around a gargoyle fireplace, and the basement restrooms occupy the original bank vault.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and solo travellers who want downtown LA history, a strong restaurant and bar scene on property, and rooms with character. Also a smart pick for groups booking the patio rooms that share a private courtyard, and for longer stays in the larger suites.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone expecting white-glove, Forbes-tier service should temper expectations; the register here is warm and casual rather than polished. There's no spa, just a small 24-hour gym, and the location is downtown, so guests fixated on the beach, Hollywood or Beverly Hills will be commuting.
Bottom line
What you're really paying for is the building: a meticulously revived 1920s bank with one of the more atmospheric dining rooms in the city, plus a credible rooftop and a genuinely distinctive room product. Book it if downtown's museums, Grand Central Market and food scene are your LA, and request a city-view room or one of the patio rooms if you're travelling as a group.
