Pros
Internationally renowned Ayurvedic treatments by Martha Soffer's team
Heated rooftop pool with shaded loungers and seasonal refreshments
Private yoga sessions with Los Angeles' leading instructors
Three dedicated fitness spaces with outdoor class options
Cons
1 mile from the beach and main tourist attractions
Limited dining venues within the hotel property
“Santa Monica Proper achieves a remarkable sense of place through Kelly Wearstler's design and attentive service. Its rooftop pool and dining, coupled with an Ayurvedic spa, create a relaxing wellness environment near the beach and Montana Avenue's shops, although set slightly back from the oceanfront bustle. I believe it's a particularly strong choice for those seeking a design-conscious stay with family-friendly amenities.”
