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. With an emphasis on Eastern inspired wellness, the hotel’s Surya Spa, presided over by internationally renowned Ayurvedic guru Martha Soffer, offers custom-designed programs supporting physical, mental and spiritual health. 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.
The 267 rooms and suites of Santa Monica Proper reflect the local history and landscape with original design by Kelly Wearstler. Meeting the needs of the modern luxury traveler, each room is well-appointed with specially designed furniture and signature Proper beds dressed with Bellino and Fili D’oro linens. All rooms feature premium WiFi, Apple TV and bedside controls to adjust blackout shades and lighting. In addition to curved floor-to-ceiling windows, balconies and garden terraces offer plenty of natural California light.
At Proper, dine alongside sweeping views of the Pacific at Calabra, an indoor-outdoor rooftop bistro and beach-inspired lounge where ocean views are paired with biodynamic wines, signature cocktails, and Mediterranean and California cuisine. Retreat to Olea, a lush and breezy garden terrace, for fresh and inventive sushi rolls and sake. Or linger in the art-filled lobby lounge, Palma, an intriguing setting for all-day dining or light bites, a deep dive on small-batch mezcals, and boutique wines by the glass.
A Proper amenity encourages wellness, satisfies cravings, or is simply on hand to please: A rooftop swim and ocean-view cocktails by the bar. Boards and bikes at the ready for a surf or ride on the beach path. Ayurvedic spa treatments at Surya Spa. Yoga on the 2nd floor terrace. A state-of-the-art fitness center. A lobby lounge that’s more like a living room. Anything less just wouldn’t be proper.
