Stellar All Around
Honestly, everything was just such a (great) vibe. The hotel ambiance/design isn't my particular aesthetic, but even I could appreciate the hotel concept's quality of execution, aesthetic cohesion, and so forth. Staff were *chef's kiss* from valet to reception, housekeeping, food/bar staff, etc. Quality of food in the Italian-centered main floor restaurant was lovely; rooftop California-centered food very good. Major props to the team when I realized at the airport that I had forgotten to pack some new purchases - they promptly retrieved the items from the room and had it on standby for my local friend to pick up. While location is a slight hike from the beachfront, it affords a quieter stay. The spa attached to PROPER SM was also top notch. Concerns about unhoused persons in the neighbourhood, for those from large cities like Toronto or NYC, you won't even register (locals seem to to believe it's become an issue - didn't notice it personally).

As a platinum vip with Expedia and a gold member with Marriott Bonvoy, this property exceeded my expectations. Our suite was medium in comparison to other suites but had a huge terrace that we could watch sunset from. Only valet parking which is typical for the area however it was 70 a night whereas other properties average 40-50 but no waiting and easy call ahead pick up. Bell service was on point and immediate as we entered our room When I booked room, vip gave free champagne but when we got there it wasn’t in the room and notified guest services - they brought a red wine which I rejected and asked for champagne - they obliged without hesitation (even though I checked my reservation and the actual booking stated “wine or champagne if available) … the bottle given was a veuve mid range about $110-$130 ish so not a bad deal at all. Place is clean and new Location is perfect - easy access to restaurant row / nightlife / beach and pier Room service is great and quick however expensive which I rarely say- 2 cokes and 2 breakfast burritos is $109 not including tip Overall a great hotel and would definitely stay again. Note: bonvoy was slightly cheaper by $10 but didn’t give the champagne so that’s why I booked Expedia. If I wasn’t vip, bonvoy would of been about 300 less, just an fyi

Always love my stay at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel. The only downside is the proximity of the hotel to the ocean, at best you will have ocean views.

Nice stay in Santa Monica
Nice stay, but in the winter the whole hotel is freezing because the hallways are outdoors. The cleaning team is also overly aggressive, banging down your door early in the morning to come in the rooms and they come back frequently. Very nice gym and rooftop bar and pool though.
