Pío Pico, the last governor of Alta California under Mexican rule, commissioned the hotel, reflecting his vision for a modern Los Angeles.
Pico House is situated in the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, an area that marks the birthplace of Los Angeles.
In the late 20th century, Pico House underwent significant restoration to preserve its historical and architectural integrity, ensuring it remains a cultural landmark.
