Welcome to Santa Monica Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels™

A work of architectural synergy in beachside L.A

Santa Monica Proper introduces a more laid back kind of luxury to Santa Monica. Here, within walking distance to the beach, each of the 271 guestrooms and spaces successfully harnesses the city’s abundant ocean breezes and natural light, while the interior design pays homage to the organic tones and textures of the local coastline. Santa Monica Proper tempts guests with the only rooftop pool deck on the Westside, a singular vantage point for sunsets over the Pacific that includes a Balearic restaurant, bar, and cabanas, while the landmark Onda restaurant, marks a synergistic collaboration between James Beard award-winning chefs Jessica Koslow and Gabriela Camara. Taking Eastern-inspired wellness as a guide, the hotel’s Surya Spa (opening in winter), presided over by internationally renowned Ayurvedic guru Martha Soffer, offers tailored holistic health programs. Anything less just wouldn't be Proper.
