The 22 Most Notable Hotel Openings of 2020

Hotel June: Each of the Kelly Wearstler-designed Proper Hotels, in San Francisco, Santa Monica, and Austin, instantly became hotspots when they opened. It’s not surprising, then, that Hotel June, Proper Hospitality’s more laidback and affordable offering, would also make a splash. The inaugural location, in a building by famed midcentury architect Welton Becket on Los Angeles’ Westside, was designed by Venice, California-based Studio Collective. Coastal influences include sea-glass hued ceramic shower tiles, textured carpeting that calls to mind seaside casitas, and blue upholstered daybeds in the guestrooms. Bursts of green—on the glazed terracotta tiles and quartzite stone at the bar and the emerald powdercoated metalwork—add another layer of vibrancy to the lobby, which is wrapped in New York artist Alex Proba’s abstract mural and full-height sunlight-filtering oak shutters.
