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.

We stayed at the Santa Monica Proper for the Beyonce concert at SoFi. The guest services team was so accommodating and helped us arrange transportation. The food was amazing, service was on point and the front desk greeted us with great enthusiasm. It was an amazing escape and we'd absolutely stay again.

Incredible amenities - gym, restaurant, pool, pool bar. I would highlight the incredible staff from my first step into the Proper. Room was super clean and nice. This is a very tailored experience.

The hotel is generally built and has nice rooms. The shower was awesome! The pool was packed so no chance to get seats unless you arrive early. There were some private events so access to other main areas was limited. While it is a “happening” place, if you ain’t invited or up early to stake your claim, it ain’t happening. The location was fine but not outstanding.

I visited the Santa Monica Proper Hotel as part of a birthday trip, I absolutely recommend and will be visiting again. From a lovely central and safe location, to attentive and friendly staff at every experience and the beautiful guest rooms - it’s definitely a stay I’ll remember for all the right reasons!
