Santa Monica Proper Hotel

The Santa Monica Proper Hotel is a stunning example of contemporary design infused with California's coastal charm. Designed by renowned interior designer Kelly Wearstler, the hotel reflects her signature style—bold, vibrant, and artfully eclectic. The interior spaces are thoughtfully curated, creating an inviting atmosphere that resonates with both luxury and comfort.

A standout feature of the Santa Monica Proper is its use of DDS American Quarry Zephyr Tile, which brings a unique texture and depth to the spaces. This beautiful tile, now discontinued, complements the hotel’s design ethos by echoing the natural beauty of the California coastline. Wearstler's use of the Zephyr Tile showcases her ability to blend color and form, crafting spaces that are both visually striking and highly functional, making it an excellent choice for commercial design.

In the hotel’s bathrooms and common areas, the tile's soft, earthy tones and subtle variations harmonize with the overall aesthetic, creating a serene backdrop that enhances the vibrant furnishings and art pieces throughout the property. Each area feels like a curated art gallery, where the tile work plays a crucial role in grounding the space and providing a cohesive look that is essential for successful commercial design.
