Accommodation: I booked a Deluxe King room, which ranges from 355 to 375 sq. ft. The moment I walked in, I was completely "WOWED" by the room's thoughtful design and luxurious features. Here are some of my favorite aspects:
Aesop Amenities: Talk about feeling fancy! I had never heard of this brand before, but I instantly became a fan. The high-quality toiletries added a touch of elegance to my stay.
Motorized Shades: I was stunned by this feature! The motorized shades were incredibly easy to use and added a true sense of luxury to the room. Whenever I see hotels with updated features I always think of my dad.. because he believes that his email is his own website LOL. But even these features were “Pops friendly” ;)
Curated Minibar: The minibar was impressively stocked with top-tier, healthy snacks. It was clear that every detail had been carefully considered to enhance the guest experience.
Amenities: The Santa Monica Proper Hotel offers a range of amenities to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. Guests can enjoy a rooftop pool with stunning ocean views, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and beautifully designed communal spaces perfect for relaxation or socializing.
Spa: The Proper Hotel's spa, Surya Spa, is a true sanctuary of wellness and relaxation. Offering a variety of treatments based on ancient Ayurvedic principles, the spa provides personalized therapies designed to rejuvenate both body and mind. Although I didn't get the opportunity to experience a full appointment, I left with an AMAZING bundle of Surya Skin Rituals. Have you heard of a Kansa Wand? I hadn't before this moment! Let me tell you, I am officially obsessed and can truly see a difference in my face when I use it. It came with an incredible oil that you apply first. The Kansa Wand offers a range of benefits for skin health and overall well-being!
Dining: The dining options at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel are equally impressive, with something to satisfy every palate.
Onda: A collaboration between celebrated chefs Jessica Koslow and Gabriela Cámara, Onda serves up a delightful mix of Californian and Mexican cuisine. The fresh, locally sourced ingredients and innovative dishes are sure to please.
Palma: Located in the lobby, Palma offers a cozy setting with a menu of light bites and handcrafted cocktails. I truly experienced one of the best breakfasts EVER here. It’s is also the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring Santa Monica.
