Santa Monica Proper

Santa Monica Proper marries the elevated design of Kelly Wearstler with a 1920’s era- landmark building and new contemporary architecture. 267 guest rooms and suites, many with terraces, embody the relaxed sophistication of the California lifestyle, with interiors inspired by the colors and textures of the neighboring coastline. Take in the panoramic views from the only rooftop pool deck in Santa Monica, choose from our two dining options, indulge in a treatment in the first-ever Surya Ayurvedic Hotel Spa, or take advantage of over 24,000 square feet of high-design meeting and event spaces. For the first luxury urban resort to open in Santa Monica in over a decade, anything less just…

Stay above the curve at the 267-room Santa Monica Proper. A landmark 1920s building adds Spanish Colonial charm to this new-build hotel’s curvaceous design, which incorporates reclaimed oak hardwood floors, organic tones and textures, and inspired pieces by local artists. Practice yoga and TM, relax on the Westside’s only rooftop pool deck, or get an in-depth Ayurvedic assessment followed by a color therapy session in the serene spa. Mediterranean-Californian cuisine comes with panoramic Pacific views at the elevated Calabra bistro.
