History edit

The 12-story building was completed in 1922,[3] and it was dedicated in 1923.[4] It was built as the Los Angeles headquarters of the Bank of Italy, a forerunner to Bank of America founded by Amadeo Giannini.[4] It was designed by the architectural firm Morgan, Walls & Clements,[3] in the Neoclassical architectural style with "Doric columns, ornate golden ceiling and marble floors."[4] The bronze front doors are surrounded by terra cotta sculptures of American coins.[5]

It belonged to the Chetrit Group, until it was acquired by the Sydell Group for US$39 million.[4] From 2015 to 2017, the building was remodeled into the NoMad Los Angeles Hotel, with additional investments from billionaire Ronald Burkle.[4][6] The hotel opened in 2018,[7] but closed in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It reopened in 2022 as the Hotel Per La.[8]
