Once housing the Bank of Italy in downtown Los Angeles, the 1922-built Giannini Building is now home to Hotel Per La, which opened in September. Its Italian name translates to “for the,” a nod to bank founder Amadeo Pietro Giannini’s inclusive spirit, and the hotel’s, too (tag line: it’s for people like you).

The 12-storey building was redesigned to add 10,000 square feet of event space and multiple dining options, but architectural features from the past were preserved, including Doric columns and beautiful marble floors.
