About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for Santa Monica Proper Hotel
Mostly really good, food and drinks were outstanding
Very nice hotel. Room was clean and quiet. Shower was fabulous. Food and drinks were great but pricey (cocktails approx $25 each). Breakfast was excellent, also very $$$. Loved the rooftop bar and restaurant. The pool and pool deck are too small for this size of hotel, there were often not enough places to sit and the small pool area means that all lounge chairs are jammed in like sardines next to each other. Too many kids at the pool and at breakfast. Would love if this place could become adults-only. Johnny (server at the pool) was lovely. We had an issue with getting a table in the rooftop restaurant for dinner (hostess seemed overwhelmed and disorganized) but manager helped to get us situated at a table. Called front desk from our room one night around midnight to ask a question, tried twice, no answer either time.

Great hotel for a family stay
The Santa Monica Proper is a fantastic hotel! Beautiful, great location and wonderful, helpful staff. We booked a three bedroom family unit our three generation stay and it was perfect. One of the best hotel experiences I have had. Can't wait to return.

5 star hotel
We stayed in the family suite and the room was beautiful and very comfortable. We loved the decor in the entire hotel. The food was delicious in the hotel restaurants as well.

Good but not worth the $$s
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.
