Santa Monica Proper Hotel | Santa Monica, Los Angeles | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Santa Monica, Los Angeles

5 stars

A luxury hotel in the heart of the city combining modern features with contemporary on-of-a-kind design, the Proper Hotel Santa Monica is a proper treat. The rooftop pool is the only one you’ll find in the area, so nab a sunbed or treat yourself to an alcove for the day for that added relaxation – no need to move, just have your drinks and food delivered to you, they’ll even supply the suncream, you’ll need it on those summer days. The hotel may not be situated on the coastal front, but it positions you in great proximity to bars and restaurants, and the local farmers market which is a must visit. You’ll feel more of a local in this hangout, a step away from the obvious tourist spots. When you do want to visit the beach (who wouldn’t?!), it’s only a short stroll away, or hop on an eLECTRA bike to get you there even quicker. Of course, Santa Monica has plenty of trendy restaurants to visit, but the hotel have got some fantastic offerings of their own, chill out in Palma when you need a break from the hot weather or a late night apertif. Or if you want to soak up those rays with a chilled drink in hand then Calabra offers fantastic poolside views, with a sushi menu available Thursday – Sunday for those sashimi lovers.

“The spot to stay in LA”

Oct 30, 2025Evan L

Santa Monica Proper easily outshines the legacy “premier” properties when it comes to accommodations, design, and staff professionalism. The restaurants are outstanding—vibrant, creative, and clearly part of the local scene. Hotel Manager Felipe Reyes goes above and beyond to make the Proper feel like a true home away from home. He remembers my preferences and has exceeded expectations with every visit. Without question, Santa Monica Proper is my preferred hotel in LA

“Honest review after two night stay”

Oct 28, 2025Rajbir S

Location is a bit inland from the ocean. Overall not that bad. Away from the beach traffic and crowd. Atmosphere was great. Interior designing was great and appeared like every single item is placed at its location deliberately. Our room was in land mark building. Minor issue we had was with the street vehicular traffic noise. We booked through our chase reserve card and got all the benefits. Definitely great value. Entire facility was great. Great service providers. Fitness facilities were top notch and super clean. By the way Afternoon Tea (in picture) was exceptional

“Incredible modern yet homely hotel”

Oct 28, 2025C J

Truly incredible and immaculate hotel. It is next level, modern yet homely. Full of buzzing personality and vibes. The manager of the hotel was excellent when it came to us needing to discuss something. That’s what makes a great hotel in my opinion! Even the managing director Armando followed up with me on an email. I thought that was amazing. The wellness and gym was out of this world. The best gym I’ve ever seen in a hotel. Fully equipped with incredible equipment. Bravo! Was a little loud though nightlife wise and we had our little boy so wouldnt really recommend it to families that sleep early.
