Downtown Los Angeles Proper

This hotel is the gold standard by which I'll measure all boutique hotels. They do everything right: amenities, decor, food, and above all - the service. I stayed here for a quick birthday staycation and the staff (front desk - thank you Vanessa!!!) made me feel so incredibly special. You can communicate any type of room asks (questions, room service, etc) by text - and they're super prompt. So convenient. The hotel itself of course is beautiful and Deco-ed out, from common spaces to each room (which are all different!) It's a Kelly Wearstler hotel - so everything feels so premium including furnishings, decor (the plants alone deserve their own review), toiletries and even small things like the cups in the bathrooms. There is incredible attention to detail. A great example is the fitness center, which I think makes the best use of their space (i've stayed at a lot of hotels) with 3 Pelotons, YBells, a Tonal mirror, and luxuriously thick yoga mats. (they even have pink lady apples and box waters!) This is my favorite hotel in LA by far and cannot wait to go back. Thanks Hotel Proper! <3

The rooftop restaurant, Cara Cara, has great food and views and atmosphere. It’s a fun place to be. The breakfast spot, Caldo Verde, has well-presented and delicious food. The location is good, with walking distance to downtown / LA Live / convention center, but slightly calmer than in those core areas. And the room was clean and comfortable. The main thing, though, is the rooftop restaurant. I’d stay here again just because of that.

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!
