Proper Hospitality Plans Three New Hotels

Proper locations in Santa Monica, Austin, and the DTLA are all slated to open later this year.

Words by: Will Speros

Three new hotel properties are set to join the Proper Hospitality portfolio this year as part of a partnership with designer Kelly Wearstler. The Santa Monica Proper Hotel, the Austin Proper Hotel & Residences, and the Downtown Los Angeles Proper Hotel are slated to open in May, June, and September of this year, respectively.

The upscale Santa Monica Proper Hotel will integrate a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival structure—designed by Arthur E. Harvey—with a sleek new build on Wilshire Boulevard. The modern new structure will be layered with textures across a natural material palette including wood, stone, and plaster accented with metal. Home to 271 guestrooms and suites, the hotel will be furnished with a range of styles reflective of coastal California and timeless residential comfort. A rooftop deck and pool will crown the property along with a sweeping indoor-outdoor restaurant and bar. Additional amenities will include a 2,500-square-foot fitness center, 8,000 square feet of meeting and event space, and a 3,000-square-foot spa concept.

“As with the design for all of the Proper properties, we were intentional about working with local artists to bring a truly authentic and localized experience to Santa Monica Proper. Earthy, raw materials, organic textiles, and a layering in of art and landscape bring a rich sensory feeling into the hotel,” Wearstler says.

In the Texas capital, the Austin Proper Hotel & Residences will span 32 stories, and house 244 guestrooms and suites in addition to 99 residences. Onsite amenities will include five restaurants and bars, an outdoor lounge, two swimming pools, a spa, and 10,000 square feet of meeting space. A monolithic wooden staircase will anchor the lobby as one of many moments that express both Austin’s history and local craftsmanship. The staircase will be wrapped in more than 60 conjoined vintage carpets topped with assorted pottery and ceramics.

Finally, the Downtown Los Angeles Proper Hotel will be housed within a red-brick volume originally designed by Curlett & Beelman in 1926. Inspired by the California renaissance revival styles of downtown LA, the hotel will be crafted with lush textures and colors reflective of the city. Lobby ceilings will ascend 24 feet, while dark wood and brown plaster will offset historic architectural paneling and marble details. Handpicked furniture will also balance the residential-style ambiance amplified by colorful custom tiles and stained glass elements that contrast wire-brushed wood and leather finishes. Rooms will each feature restored windows that illuminate deep texture and hand-raked plaster walls as well as local artwork and ceramics. The lobby and hotel rooftop will be home to F&BE options.
