Santa Monica Proper introduces a looser kind of luxury to Santa Monica. Here, along sun-drenched Wilshire Boulevard, within walking distance to the beach, each of the 267 rooms, suites and spaces successfully optimize the city’s abundant ocean breezes and natural light, while the interior design finds inspiration in the organic tones and textures of the local coastline. Santa Monica Proper beckons guests with the only rooftop pool deck on the Westside, a one-of-a-kind setting that includes a Balearic outdoor restaurant, bar, and cabanas, where guests are front-row for sunsets over the Pacific. Our Santa Monica Proper resort offers a true local experience in the heart of the city, walking distance from the beach, boutique shopping, health-conscious cafes, the world-class farmers market, and indulgent fine dining. Anything less just wouldn’t be Proper.

Extremely well-run hotel with high level of service with the best location. The facilities and aesthetics are modern, and the breakfast is fantastic. With the rooftop bar, the gym, the spa and the recovery suite you never have to leave the hotel. Highly recommend a stay.

HOW did this hotel get 4.5 stars. It’s the worst hotel! Rooms are very ugly and small. Bed uncomfortable. Room service food awful. Awful view with loud noises that start at 6 am. I hate everything about this hotel except for it’s location. I called to have a reservation at rooftop restaurant for brunch because all i could find on line was 2:30 pm days in advance. I got a call back 9 hours later to give me exact same time. I asked them why did it take 9 hours for callback to be given same time I got online. I was told they were busy calling back other customers…9 hours?!? Really felt like a valued customer! I hate hate hate this hotel.

So the beds were comfy the bathrooms awesome the location great. But it was the team. All the folks working there were so helpful and acknowledged that we had been displaced from our home and were not on vacation. Our son had homework and wanted to see friends and they accommodated him. My wife had some unusual laundry needs and we brought a lot more stuff than the valets were used to but they were all so helpful honest and went above and beyond. I will stay there even when my home is not in jeopardy. Thank you team Proper!

Outstanding hotel - beautifully designed, incredible staff, delicious food, excellent service and comfortable beds. The gym was the best I have ever seen, including a drawer full of cold towels to use after your workout! I cannot wait to return.

My favorite place to stay while in LA - in fact, I never like to leave!! The Kelly Wearstler design is spectacular and creates a feeling of calm but also inspiration throughout the property. My recent room with panoramic views was a 10. The staff is warm and attentive. The mediterranean food excellent. The Santa Monica Proper brings the best of LA with none of the pretense,
