With city lights and vintage brick as a backdrop re-imagines and updates a landmark in the heart of South Park District 147-room destination hotel. Here, the creative vision of Kelly Wearstler seamlessly blends past and present with compelling design, vintage influence and local art.

The hospitality here is genuinely impressive. The staff was polite, attentive, and always ready to help. My room was extremely clean, and the bed was comfortable enough to give me deep sleep each night. The bathroom looked newly cleaned every day. Loved the peaceful environment.

Wonderful location, and they upgraded my room which was much appreciated. The view are absolutely amazing. Was really hoping that a hotel like this with an upgraded room, that I would have a bath but no such luck. However, the shower didn't drain so it was almost like Taking a bath (I'm being sarcastic). It's also the kind of shower without a door so you freeze the whole time..I've been to far less expensive hotels with far better amenities and rooms. But if you're looking for a great location with a super neat vibe then this is it!

Had an outstanding stay at LA Proper Hotel ! Highly recommend LA Proper Hotel for a luxurious, seamless stay in downtown Los Angeles
The check-in process was smooth and welcoming, making a great first impression. The property blends cozy warmth with contemporary style, making for a truly inviting and modern ambiance. The room was spacious and comfortable, and as an added perk, I received an upgrade through booking with the American Express Hotel Collection—which allowed for early check-in and late checkout options, making the experience even better.
What truly stood out were the hotel's excellent dining options; both on-property restaurants offered memorable meals that made my stay even more special. All staff interactions were friendly, genuine, and professional, enhancing the overall sense of hospitality and care.
