The perfect weekend getaway isn’t complete without a night (or two—or three) at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel. Designed by the iconic Kelly Wearstler, the Proper is as elegant as it is comfortable. It’s the definition of refined luxury. Staying here always feels like a special escape and an inspiring and relaxing pause from real life that reminds you why you love LA.
We check in and eagerly toss our bags into the room. It instantly feels like coming home. A bottle of wine and a handwritten note are already waiting for us. The rooms are sun-soaked, perfectly blending organic tones with coastal textures. Beds are dressed in Bellino fine linens, and hanging in the bathrooms are custom bathrobes created in collaboration with Parachute Home. I could stay here forever!
The Proper has a couple bars and restaurants to enjoy during your stay.
The lobby-lounge-bar, Palma, is my favorite spot for pre-dinner drinks… and post-dinner drinks… and sometimes everything in between. The seating situation alone makes me want to throw out every piece of furniture I own and start all over. This eclectic space invites you to settle into an intimate nook or stretch out on one of the stunning couches, sit back, and feel inspired. Palma features a creative, California-rooted menu with Italian influence.
Days here are best spent on the rooftop, poolside, with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop. Eat at the Calabra Rooftop on the sundeck or sip cocktails at the circular bar. Indulge in vibrant Mediterranean dishes and chilled natural wines. Is there any better combo on a sunny day than Greek fries and a crisp Sauvignon Blanc?
