Santa Monica Proper Hotel

This hotel is absolutely charming and elegant. We thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop bar and restaurant, as well as the pool area. The aesthetics and overall ambiance are exceptional, with beautifully repeated circular arches throughout the property. The restaurant’s atmosphere is especially inviting, and we loved relaxing on the large collection of comfortable sofas and chairs. The hotel is truly unique, and its design perfectly reflects that individuality. The décor and customer service were outstanding—every staff member was warm, accommodating, and pleasant. We will most definitely stay here again. We highly recommend this hotel.

Perfect hotel. We love the room and service is wonderful.

We stayed at The Proper Hotel Santa Monica with our family and had the best trip. The hotel is beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully designed in a way that feels calm and elevated. |The food was excellent—fresh, healthy, and actually made us feel good. One of the biggest highlights for us was the scent-free environment. No overpowering fragrances anywhere, which meant we slept incredibly well (such a game changer, especially with kids).|Every detail felt intentional, from cleanliness to comfort. It’s rare to find a hotel that feels this good for both adults and families. We’ll absolutely be back.

10/10 stay. Santa Monica Proper completely won me over.||Even before I arrived, Armando, the MD, reached out and was helpful and thoughtful. A really nice touch. My check-in experience deserves a callout. The front desk team was warm, efficient, and incredibly helpful.||Service throughout the hotel was consistently excellent. The pool bar servers were wonderful, and I have to mention the chicory salad I ordered. It was so good I ordered it two days in a row. Craving it now!||The gym was very well done, not a sad little hotel gym. I also loved the small touches, like the house made granola bars. So simple, but such a nice add.||It goes without saying that the Kelly Wearstler design is gorgeous, but what impressed me most was how livable the space feels. Cozy corners everywhere, thoughtful d
