In June 2019, luxury lifestyle hit Santa Monica with the Santa Monica Proper Hotel. For the elegance-at-ease hotel, featuring 271 guest rooms and suites, the designer Kelly Wearstler imagined a space where guests can explore gorgeous design details and a selection of unmissable furniture and art. The hotel boasts an array of outlets, including Palma, a lobby bar lounge, and Calabra, a rooftop pool restaurant.
Relaxing the Proper Way
For a relaxing weekend on the coast, guests can book a calming appointment at Surya Spa—with wellness and treatment options ranging from sound baths and yoga classes to facials and healthy cooking classes. And for those that prefer to keep their stay a little upbeat, the hotel offers an array of lively programming, including happy hour from Monday through Thursday from 4-6 p.m., HIIT workout classes, and more.
