The much anticipated Proper Hotel opened recently as Santa Monica’s first and only luxury lifestyle hotel. The Proper beckons guests with the only rooftop pool deck on the Westside plus original design by Kelly Wearstler in a one-of-a-kind setting which includes a Balearic restaurant, bar, and cabanas, where guests are front-row for sunsets over the Pacific.
The Santa Monica Proper offers 271 guest rooms and suites, a 3,000-square-foot Ayurvedic spa, a 2,500-square-foot gym, and a restaurant overseen by Sqirl’s Jessica Koslow and award-winning chef Gabriella Camara, who has restaurants in Mexico City and San Francisco.
OLD & NEW ARCHITECTURE
The hotel occupies the space in and around the 1920s-era Spanish Colonial Revival-style Santa Monica Professional Building, combining adaptive reuse and new construction. “We’ve thoughtfully restored the historic building to its original glory, from the exterior details to the rich materials we kept inside,” said Brian De Lowe, president and cofounder of Proper Hospitality and The Kor Group. Howard Laks Architects designed the building.We love the elevated rooftop restaurant and bar that serves Mediterranean and California cuisine, prepared in an incredible surrounding with the ocean as backdrop.
