“BEST HOTEL IN LOS ANGELES FOR FOODIES” – FORBES
In the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, Proper’s culinary destinations
Cabrillo, Cara Cara, and Dahlia bring together vibrant flavor, thoughtful sourcing, and design-driven settings that invite connection from morning to night.
Each menu celebrates seasonal California ingredients, sustainably caught seafood, and nutrient-rich preparations crafted without seed oils or artificial dyes. Fresh juices, bold natural flavors, and local produce create food and drinks that feel as good as they taste.
From rooftop dinners and skyline cocktails at Cara Cara to mornings of fresh fare in Cabrillo and intimate evenings at Dahlia, every dining experience at Proper is rooted in wellness, creativity, and a sense of place.
Cabrillo
MORNING TO EVENING AT CABRILLO
Located on the ground floor of Downtown L.A. Proper, Cabrillo offers a bright start to the day with fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, and nourishing California-style breakfast dishes. As evening arrives, the space shifts into a relaxed gathering spot serving craft cocktails in a sculptural Kelly Wearstler–designed setting that blends timeless design with modern comfort.
Cara Cara Rooftop
TRANSCEND THE ORDINARY
Take in panoramic city views from Cara Cara, our rooftop restaurant and bar where al fresco dining unfolds from day to night. Tucked beside the pool and framed by fire pits and intimate nooks, the space feels expansive yet inviting. The menu pays tribute to the flavors Los Angeles loves, vibrant salads, al pastor tacos, a grilled albacore sandwich, and wood-fired shareables like housemade focaccia and seafood paella. Drinks lean market-driven, drawing from Southern California’s seasonal bounty to create cocktails that match the energy and openness of this elevated perch above the city.
Dahlia
IN GOOD SPIRITS
Pop into the intimate Dahlia, our ground floor cocktail lounge, for after-work drinks, a small celebration, or a cozy night out. Perfectly private, Dahlia is our tucked-away escape from the bustle of Downtown Los Angeles, offering classic cocktails alongside our ever-evolving list of boutique wines all curated by the Lucques Group.
In-Room Dining
OUR KITCHEN IS YOUR KITCHEN
Our in-room dining menu features select dishes from Cabrillo and prepared with the same rooftop rhythm and care. Seasonal, wood-fired, and full of Southern California flavor. Pair it with a craft cocktail or boutique wine and settle in.
Private Events
DISTINGUISHED ORDERS
For meetings of the minds, special events, and small weddings alike, we offer a range of spaces as unique as your gathering. At over 2,600 square feet, the historic Broadway Ballroom is the perfect home for a larger group, while our two signature suites – the Basketball Court and Pool Suite – are perfectly untraditional settings for an intimate get-together. Or simply head to the rooftop, and let the stunning panoramic views at Cara Cara do the talking.
