Santa Monica Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels

Staying at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel was an absolute delight. The room was spotless, beautifully designed with a modern touch, and incredibly comfortable. The gym is well-equipped and perfect for a quick workout. I especially loved the complimentary morning tea and light snacks served downstairs—such a nice little treat to start the day. The rooftop pool and restaurant are stunning, offering breathtaking views of the ocean, especially at sunset. The only minor downside is that there are parties on weekends on the upper floors and ground level, which might be noisy if your room is close to the pool area. However, as long as you’re booked away from those zones, it’s completely peaceful. Overall, this place nails the vibe—stylish, relaxed, and full of character. Highly recommend!
