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.

Location is across from a homelessy 7-11 and much farther from the water than other similar cost and luxury hotels. Gave up my double room when traveling with my child when promised a significantly upgraded one bedroom room. Room I was given was not at all an upgrade. And then when I explained was put in a room that was barely an upgrade. No benefits for being a Bonvoy Ambassador level despite being a Bonvoy partnered hotel. Pictures on website with Sauna and cold plunges are misleading—only available for a significantly upgraded fee at limited hours. On the upside—awesome fitness center. Food is good. Rooftop pool is a cool location. Staff is all very nice. Just expected more for the price and images on website.

Eric at the valet was super nice. Checkin was very smooth. At the price I paid for the room, I was hoping for more. The amenity provided in room is limited. And there’s only one pair of slipper. Room is small. We brought up some issues to the front desk such as not working outlet and safebox… the office manager had sent us an email to apologize which I appreciate their attention to this matter. The view from the room was ugly as it’s the view of parking lot and rooftop even with a balcony. The location is very close to all restaurants and shops. The gym is very nice with equipments I never seen before, but it’s a cramped space that fit in too many equipments. Just minor inconveniences but tolerable. We stayed for only a day and didn’t have time to rent the bike, otherwise i think it would be a lot of fun.

Santa Monica Proper delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. The design is truly one-of-a-kind, stylish, thoughtful, and unlike anything else in the area. The team was highly engaged and welcoming throughout our stay, making everything feel seamless. Food & Beverage offerings were world-class, and the wellness program provided the perfect opportunity to disconnect, reset, and fully enjoy our four days in LA. A standout stay, highly recommend.
