a bucket list stay: santa monica proper
Flying in from Stockholm, staying at Santa Monica Proper Hotel in LA was a long-awaited
experienceâand it did not disappoint. Ever since opening, this hotel had been on my bucket list,
and from the moment I arrived, it was everything I had imagined: stunning design,
a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, and that perfect blend of California cool.
The rooftop views, seamless indoorâoutdoor flow, and impeccable hospitality, made it truly special.Â
Despite the recent devastating Palisades fires, the ambience remained incredibly friendly, with
a strong sense of community and warmth. It was a reminder of the resilience of this beautiful place.
Sometimes, dreams do come trueâand this stay was proof of that.
