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.

“Always a great stay!”

Sep 15, 2025Midtownhoteluser123

This was my third time staying at the Santa Monica Proper and I had another very nice experience. The staff is amazing including front office manager Cameron who went out of her way to ensure I had a comfortable stay and always goes above and beyond to connect with and help guests. She is a gem. Richard at parking and Nate the bellman are both super friendly, and the waitstaff in the lobby Palma restaurant including Josea, Alex, Lilly, Francisco, Nick, and Donna as well as Daniella the manager always ensured I was comfortable and well fed. Thanks to them all! The food is excellent (I had multiple breakfasts and dinner) with a lot of healthy options and interesting wine list. The property has a spa like vibe and my wife is a big fan of the designer. Based on our positive experiences at this location, I booked a family trip to check out the new Miami location at the Shelbourne.

“Proper = Perfect on this occasion.”

Honestly…it was perfect from start to finish. My wife and I both work in hotels / restaurants and we both loved how well we were looked after. From our arrival…to all Housekeepers….to the wonderful Faustos on our final morning at the rooftop bar….we had the best time. The property is also gorgeous. Thank you so much…we will absolutely be back!!!

The Santa Monica Proper is our favorite place to be for vacation. The amenities, design, restaurant quality, roof-top pool, location and staff all rock! This is why we come 'home' to the SMP two or three times per year!
