Santa Monica Proper draws the Westside’s light and coastal ease into a richly collected interior by Kelly Wearstler, a short walk from the beach. Natural textures, sculptural furniture and muted tones distinguish its 263 rooms and suites. Planted courtyards and terraces soften the transition between indoors and out. Calabra occupies the rooftop beside the pool, while Palma creates a more intimate setting at ground level. Surya Spa is centred on Ayurvedic treatments and includes a recovery suite, with the hotel’s layered public spaces opening towards Santa Monica’s streets and sea air.
