Santa Monica Proper Hotel
Wilshire Boulevard and 7th Street, Santa Monica; Santa Monica, United States
Santa Monica Proper Hotel combines Kelly Wearstler’s textured interiors with a substantial approach to wellness, creating a distinctive base within the city. Rooms and suites use sculptural furniture, travertine bathrooms and a warm material palette, while selected categories add terraces, balconies or enclosed garden patios. The combination of a restored landmark building and newer accommodation gives different rooms their own character. Calabra makes the rooftop a destination for Mediterranean-inspired dining and poolside time, while Palma offers an informal setting for food and drinks below. Surya Spa adds Ayurvedic treatments, and bookable recovery spaces introduce saunas, cold plunges and other wellness facilities. Choose Proper when design and restorative time are central to the trip, particularly for a stay that combines beach outings with time at the hotel. Its strongest quality is the consistency of its visual identity across accommodation and shared spaces. Compare the landmark-building rooms with terrace categories, and check access arrangements for specific wellness areas. The hotel is inland from the beach, so it suits guests who enjoy moving between Santa Monica’s streets and waterfront.
