Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

This is a building that you will likely only see from the exterior; however, you will not miss it on the Old Plaza. Its prominence speaks to it history. It is the first and oldest luxury hotel in LA and when it was built in 1870 it was the largest building in LA if not California. It was built by Pio Pico, the last Mexican Governor of California. It is a beautiful building in its color and symmetrical design. It symbolized that LA was not a Pacific town but an emerging American city at the cusp before the railroad, oil and Hollywood would propel LA to what it is today.

Pico House at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument has the distinction of being the first grand hotel to grace the city of Los Angeles. It was commissioned by Pio de Jesus Pico, the last governor of California under Mexican rule.
Pico House is an impressive, grand, imperious building at the center of Main Street. It occupies the site of the adobe house of Jose Antonio Carrillo which was razed to make way for this magnificent edifice.
This building designed by architect Ezra F Kysor was the first three-storey building in LA and his brief was to build “the finest hotel in Los Angeles.”
Designed in Italian style with signature deep-set round arched windows and doors, Pico House is built around a central courtyard that had a circular cast iron fountain at its center. Records say the fountain gurgled while caged birds chirped in the courtyard! The name Pico House in large letters is painted on the pediments.
The hotel opened in 1870 and was considered to be the last word in luxury. Boasting 82 rooms and 21 parlours, it cost almost $50,000 to build and the furnishings are estimated to have added another $10,000 to that cost!
This was financed rather unwisely as it turned out, by Pio and his brother Andres by selling most of their vast landholdings in the San Fernando Valley.
Walnut furniture, rosewood décor in the bridal suite, chandeliers in the parlour, velvet carpets, hot water tanks even for the bathrooms on the first and second floors – this hotel had it all.
The building even had a dumb waiter for lifting baggage to the higher floors. Coaches could actually drive into the building’s central courtyard to unload. Guests included local luminaries such as the Avila, Sepulveda and Lugo families.
Tragically, the hotel’s heydays were short lived – the infamous Chinese Massacre of 1871, just a year after the hotel opened certainly did not help business.
Despite expensive refurbishing in 1875, Pico was forced to put up the hotel as collateral for loans taken and eventually lost the hotel by foreclosure in 1880. He also lost his mansion in Whittier and in 1894, died a poor, sad and broken man.
From 1880 onwards, Pico House had a series of owners and for some years starting 1892, was known as the National Hotel. Rented in 1897 by two Italians, G Pagliano and G Borniatico, Pico House was eventually bought by Pagliano in 1930 – his family sold it to the State of California in 1953.
The building which had become dilapidated was renovated and restored to its former glory and is once again the most magnificent building in El Pueblo and a California Historical Landmark.
Pico House has since featured in commercials of BMW, Honda, JC Penney and Target! Pico House lives on and continues to be sought after for special events and for commercial use.

Un edificio tanto famoso quanto carino che praticamente domina la parte antistante.. diversi particolari, oltre ad essere uno degli edifici più conosciuti ed importanti per il suo valore storico.. è impossibile non notarlo.

2018年4月に行きました。
ロスアンゼルス発祥の地とされるエルプエブロ州立史跡公園内の広場に面して建つ古い建物です。ロスアンゼルス最古のホテルで、この周りにはロスアンゼルスの歴史的建造物が集まっています。今はホテルとしては使われていないようです。

As it was closed this Thursday afternoon when I came by on the way to the Mexican American museum..it is well worth a visit even just to view the extravagant architecture of yesteryear..On another prior visit, there was an art exposition there. I am thinking it is only open during special events, but i am not sure

The band stand performance close to Pico house was very good. There were lot of couples dancing to the tunes. In fact 'Pico house' itself is probably meant to ride on nostalgic memories. I had heard that my uncle stayed here way back in 1964 during his LA's visit. He was the first person in our family to hold a doctoral degree from UC, Berkley In fact, I told my wife & son about the old pictures, he had clicked. We got take some pictures too.

Classic structure.
Visited on the way to Union Station. On the opposite of Brunswick building. Not for everyone but if you have certain interest in Western settlement, it should fill.

The Pico House of in Spanish is called Casa de Pico is one of historical landmark structures in the El Pueblo de Los Angeles (Old Town historic Los Angeles). It was built as a hotel and currently is used for other functions. The beautiful architecture and the history of the building adds to the significance of the Old town area. It is worth to stop by to do your selfie with the building while walking around to see other things.

At least one review below states that Pico House (1870) is the oldest extant house in LA, but that is not true--it is Avila Adobe (1818). Built by Pio Pico, the last governor of Mexican California, it was the go-to place to stay for travelers to LA before the Alexandria Hotel took over as the central gathering place. It is definitely worth a look.

Историческое здание в центре Лос-Анжелеса, один из самых роскошных отелей Лос-Анжелеса конца 19-го века, им владел последний мексиканский губернатор Калифорнии. Что сейчас в этом здании не очень понятно, двери закрыты.
