Downtown Los Angeles Proper

This was our fourth stay. We use the Downtown LA Proper when we visit family in Los Angeles and also as an overnight spot for long layovers. Apart from the location which works for us (though downtown LA is not for everyone), the hotel is very stylish, for sure. However, it's the staff and service that make the difference: the team out front, the front desk folks and the team at Caldo Verde are welcoming and engaging. It is so nice to see the same faces when you come back to a hotel. We've stayed in the Corner Suite and the Junior Suite, both are great. The food at Caldo Verde is quite healthy and the coffee is great. We have eaten at Cara Cara too and the view upstairs is unique. The rooms can be dark, but that is my only quibble.

Love the Downtown LA Proper for the service, the food, and the design. The front desk is kind and efficient and Managing Director Bruno is amazing. Cara Cara rooftop restaurant serves up great food and a buzzy scene. But the hotel is very quiet and comfortable. Love all the amenities. Truly a gem. We will always come back to the Proper, especially this one.

I'm a Proper Hotel chain devotee. The interior design delights my eye. Their food suits my palate. And I opt for this brand whenever possible. My stay at the Downtown LA Proper Hotel was just as good as all the others including Austin and Santa Monica. I had a second floor corner suite. And though the traffic sounds do come into the room on a low floor like that, you feel like you're IN the city of Angels. The views down both avenues were glorious with the old LA building signs preserved on the updated architecture. My suite was spacious and elegant. The Cara Cara rooftop dining was loaded with beautiful people. The breakfast room on the first floor served me up DELICIOUS morning options. The staff are delightful. It's just THE BEST hotel in LA!

We had a quick trip to LA and Proper DTLA was just the perfect spot to rest and relax. From the moment I arrived, the front desk team made me feel genuinely welcome. They were warm, professional, and attentive to every detail. I had the pleasure of meeting their Hotel Manager, Emily. She was a delight to connect with and so accommodating. The property itself is absolutely stunning! Striking design elements throughout that perfectly balance luxury and comfort. My room was incredibly cozy and intelligently designed. Everything was right where you'd want it to be. And that bed...haven't slept like that in a long time. The rooftop was a highlight! The views are sweeping, the ambiance was vibrant yet chill, and the cocktails were on point. Such a vibe! If you're planning a trip to the area you've got to stay here to experience it yourself.

I highly recommend the Downtown LA Proper Hotel. 10/10 I had some hotels downtown to compare. I stayed at the Hoxton last year and its was 'ok' but service not great. I stayed at Soho Warehouse, amazing for a weekend stay, fab for the rooftop bar and the front desk team are friendly, gym is big and great too but very mixed with members not business hotel. The Proper had top notch business customers in mind, whatever you needed was readily available. The restaurant Caldo Verde, amazing breakfast, the top floor penthouse Cava Cava great views and fun bar, cocktails and vibe. Pool small but I was not there to sunbathe. The valet was super fast to get the car. The front desk staff super friendly. The housekeeping tidied up all my cosmetics and make up beautifully and I needed a make up mirror that came by me mentioning it as a joke to the team at Caldo Verde and a handwritten note attached. My colleague left his AirPods and charger after we checked out and were flying back to London and they organised to help us get them back before he left. Overall I would stay there again next trip. It's super convenient to get onto the 10 and to get to see customers south, west, east from there. You are literally 5 minutes and onto the freeways. My overall feedback is the team make you feel very special and looked after. No corporate feel at all. Beautifully decorated and the rooms were big and light. thanks again I will be back!!!
