Santa Monica Proper Hotel a Member of Design Hotels

Superb

California Dreamin'

Liked: Really nice well appointed room with excellent choice of furniture which was apparent throughout the hotel. Great shower that was both hot and powerful.We enjoyed the in room service with food that was of a very high standard with the indoor restaurant helping to promote a feeling of being at home sitting on your sofa surrounded by lovely furniture, books, sculptures and lamps of all shapes and sizes.The swimming pool was adequate with great city roof views, providing a nice relaxing atmosphere and service when not driving around LA! The adjacent roof bar and restaurant was also a very nice place to be at night, albeit probably better in the summer months when its a bit warmer.An additional nice touch was the free coffee and muffins in one of the lounges downstairs every morning.
Disliked: Its worth noting you are not really located next to the best beaches if that's what you are after, such as Hermosa in the south and the many surfing Malibu beaches further north. Santa Monica is close but certainly not the most charming of those available.LA is a big place so expect a bit of driving, but thats what adds to the charm and atmosphere IMO.

The place to be in...

Liked: Excellent location, great design and restaurants. Fully equipped for fitness with a professional gym and yoga studio, as well as a great spa and sauna, cold plunge.
Disliked: Wellness area requires a pricey day pass on top the room fee. Understandable for outside walkins, but less so for hotel guests, particularly if you book treatments at the spa. Still ok as the amenities are of great quality.
