the room was a bit noisy. yet the multiuse lobby was fantastic for relaxing or grabbing a drink. the rooftop restaurant offered stunning views and delicious food. also, the gym was spacious and well-equipped.

The contemporary design of Santa Monica Proper Hotel is truly remarkable, with every corner a feast for the eyes. The rooftop restaurant provides a unique dining experience with stunning ocean views, and the gym surpassed my expectations, allowing for a productive workout while traveling. The service was generally excellent, with a prompt recovery of a lost wallet, alleviating potential stress.

The check-in experience was disorganized.

I enjoyed the multiuse lobby where I could eat, relax, or just people watch in a beautiful environment. The rooftop restaurant had excellent food and sweeping views, making for a memorable dining experience. The gym was spacious and well-equipped, ideal for my fitness routine.

I found the room noisy. I could hear the road noise from outside, which disrupted my relaxation. Additionally, finding enough electric charging outlets was a bit of a hassle, as they were not conveniently placed.

The 'terrace' room I booked turned out to be just a cramped balcony with a lackluster view of nearby buildings. The water pressure in the shower was shockingly high and impossible to adjust, while the curtains required full closure or opening—no middle ground. Dinner at the rooftop restaurant lacked vegetables in the chicken kebab and felt uninspired overall. I missed simple touches like a Greek salad on the menu. The overall dining experience felt a bit overpriced, especially with the first night’s rate marking a significant jump.

Just had the best honeymoon at this gorgeous spot! They surprised us with champagne and chocolates—what a treat! Late checkout was a lifesaver for our 11pm flight. I could get used to this!

Funny how the room service could serve a wilted salad faster than my waiter took to figure out our order. If I wanted a sad dinner, I’d have just raided my fridge!

Ideal for couples looking for a chill vibe

The bar was hopping and I met some interesting folks, made for great people watching while sipping my drink. Plus, the gym there? Exceeded my expectations-could still get my sweat on!

It wasn’t cheap, but still acceptable for the experience.

Rooftop pool offers amazing views and great vibes. Check-in process was chaotic and disorganized.

Stylish stay with great vibes

I had an amazing stay with spacious rooms, especially the large bathroom, and loved the rooftop bar's bustling atmosphere. The gym was fantastic, with lots of natural light and top-notch equipment, and the welcoming staff made my experience even better. One downside was the occasional noise from outside that disrupted the peaceful ambiance at times.

Great comfy bed and friendly staff. Limited publicity for Friday DJ, nobody showed up.

I previously stayed in a budget hotel in santa monica, but this place totally exceeded my expectations. The rooftop bar had amazing views, and the food was fresh The room was spacious and super clean. Texting the concierge for service was a nice touch.

elevator wait times were frustrating.

totally recommend

I absolutely loved the elegant decor and the spacious lobby seating areas, which are perfect for relaxing. The rooftop pool area is stunning and easily accessible, providing a wonderful spot for senior guests to unwind and enjoy the views.

Quieter hallways would enhance the experience for seniors.

Recommend for strolling

Amazing staff, amazing food, with exceptional restaurant and pool areas that made our stay truly enjoyable. It’s only a 10-minute walk to Downtown Santa Monica.
