Proper Hotel Santa Monica

Last updated June 10, 2026

Blending coastal luxury with high-design aesthetics, Proper Hotel Santa Monica is effortlessly stylish without trying too hard. Designed by Kelly Wearstler, every corner of this hotel feels curated—earthy tones, textured walls, and sculptural furniture create a modern yet relaxed vibe that fits seamlessly into Santa Monica’s breezy atmosphere.

The rooms are sophisticated but inviting, with warm lighting, natural materials, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in that perfect California sunshine. The rooftop, Calabra, is a standout, offering panoramic ocean views, a laid-back pool scene, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes alongside some of the best cocktails in town.

Located just a short walk from the beach and Third Street Promenade, Proper is ideal for those who want a mix of luxury, design, and a prime Santa Monica location. Whether you're lounging by the rooftop pool or winding down in the Ayurvedic-inspired Surya Spa, this hotel feels like a tranquil escape in the middle of it all.
