Why us?

Situated in the vibrant heart of Downtown Los Angeles, Hotel Per La is inspired by the building in which it’s housed. Originally the Bank of Italy, a historic 12-story building on the corner of Olive and 7th Street, the space is a symbol of inclusion and accomplishment. Per La is an inspired name that translates to “For The” in Italian, a nod to the building’s storied beginning as a bank for the people. Its founder, Amadeo Giannini believed in the dignity and abilities of those commonly overlooked. In essence, our name means: “For Los Angeles.”

A part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, the property is housed in a gorgeously restored historic building and a quick walk from the Museum of Contemporary Art, Disney Concert Hall and Grand Central Market. With stunning design details, including many hidden corners for guests to explore, the property showcases the glamor of LA without losing sight of its playful side. The hotel’s public areas will serve as ‘the locals’ living room’ and be popular with local creatives, as well as guests seeking access to the city’s cultural institutions, the buzzing culinary scene or the city’s arena. The property features 241 signature rooms and suites with a vintage feel and custom furniture; and grand public spaces for guests and locals alike — including 10,000 square feet of event space such as Ristorante PerL'Ora- a ground floor restaurant and bar, Cafe Ora - a daytime café, and Bar Clara, one of downtown LA’s most stunning rooftop pool terrace and lounge offering dramatic views of the LA skyline.
