About this hotel

Santa Monica Proper Hotel sits in the coastal heart of Santa Monica, California, a boutique property designed for guests who value thoughtful architecture and walkable beach proximity. The hotel earned Forbes Travel Guide recognition in 2026, a mark of consistent service and design standards. Santa Monica Proper draws a mix of leisure travellers and those seeking a quieter alternative to the busier hotel corridors nearby. The location offers direct access to Third Street Promenade, the pier, and the town's slower pace compared to central Los Angeles. Guests tend to appreciate the property's emphasis on room design and its position within Santa Monica's village-like retail and dining scene rather than sprawling resort amenities.
