Rooms with Ocean Views

Santa Monica Proper Hotel offers rooms with king beds dressed in imported linens, seating areas, and bathrooms with walk-in travertine showers and Aesop amenities. Second-floor rooms provide intimate seating areas, while suites feature outdoor balconies with sunset-facing views of Santa Monica. All rooms include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and soundproofing.

Rooftop Dining Experience

Calabra serves Mediterranean and California cuisine on the rooftop, with sweeping Pacific Ocean views. The indoor-outdoor bistro offers biodynamic wines and signature cocktails. The heated rooftop pool provides refreshments like farmer's market fruit skewers and frozen wellness shots, with fluffy towels and SPF available.

Wellness and Recreation

Surya Spa offers Ayurvedic treatments including four-handed Abhyanga massages, prenatal therapies, and TM training. The gym features Peloton bikes, Technogym equipment, and outdoor yoga classes. The rooftop pool deck includes shaded loungers and cabanas. Private yoga sessions with Los Angeles instructors are available for dosha balancing.

Santa Monica Location

Located in Santa Monica, the hotel is within walking distance of Palisades Park, the beach, and bike paths. Nearby landmarks include Santa Monica Public Library (0.5 km), Santa Monica Civic Auditorium (1.5 km), and Tongva Park (1.5 km). The Venice Boardwalk with Muscle Beach and eclectic dining is easily accessible.

Meeting Spaces and Services

The hotel offers Kelly Wearstler-designed meeting rooms, a ballroom, courtyards, and terraces. Services include personalized Ayurvedic programs, private yoga instruction, and event hosting on the rooftop deck. The property provides soundproofed rooms, terraces, and garden furniture throughout.

“The vibe here is strong, and extends from the design-conscious rooms to the remarkable rooftop pool. Montana Avenue's dining and shopping are nearby, though the hotel's own Italian and Californian restaurants-and attentive staff-make a compelling case to stay put; the Ayurvedic spa offers another layer of indulgence. In my opinion, it's a relaxing urban escape with a focus on wellness.”
