Santa Monica Proper introduces a looser kind of luxury to Santa Monica.  Here, along sun-drenched Wilshire Boulevard, within walking distance to the beach, each of the 271 rooms, suites and spaces successfully optimize the city’s abundant ocean breezes and natural light, while the interior design finds inspiration in the organic tones and textures of the local coastline.  Santa Monica Proper beckons guests with the only rooftop pool deck on the Westside (opening June 27th), a one-of-a-kind setting that includes a Balearic restaurant, bar, and cabanas, where guests are front-row for sunsets over the Pacific; meanwhile, the landmark restaurant, Onda (opening August), marks an iconic collaboration between James Beard award-winning chefs Jessica Koslow and Gabriela Camara.  With an emphasis on Eastern inspired wellness , the hotel’s Surya Spa (opening November), presided over by internationally renowned Ayurvedic guru Martha Soffer, offers custom-designed programs supporting physical, mental and spiritual health.  Santa Monica Proper offers a true local experience in the heart of the city, walking distance from the beach, boutique shopping, health-conscious cafes, the world-class farmers market, and indulgent fine dining.  Anything less just wouldn't be Proper.
