Memories of Santa Monica are tranquil and beautiful. Strolling along this charming coastal area, the sea breeze gently caresses my hair. In my mind, I can clearly picture the blue coast and soft sandy beaches, swaying palm trees, and exploring the five-star Proper Hotel designed by Kelly Wearstler. The warm beige-white walls match the tropical-style decor, flipping through the art and design books, enjoying a delicious brunch, and the latte.
Santa Monica的記憶,閑適美好,漫步於這塊迷人可愛的沿海地帶,海風舒服地吹拂髮梢,腦海中清晰浮現蔚藍海岸和細軟的沙灘,隨風輕搖的棕櫚樹,探索 Kelly Wearstler所設計的五星飯店 Proper Hotel,暖調米色白牆搭配熱帶島國風格的裝飾,翻著藝術與設計藏書,品嚐美味的早午餐,和香氣撲鼻的拿鐵。

Interior Design 裝潢
大廳兩面與燈飾結合的大扇子,跳光映照著牆面散發出暖黃的光芒
The large fans in the lobby are integrated with the lighting fixtures on both sides, and the reflected light shines on the walls, emitting a warm yellow glow.

角落每張椅子都是獨特的設計,圍繞著圓桌擺卻沒有違和感,反而增添玩味!Each chair in the corner is uniquely designed and arranged around a round table in harmony with a playful touch

Palma Lounge 餐廳
我在這裡吃早午餐,非常推薦這個空間,充滿創意的傢俱,完全沒有重複設計的區域,又有藏書可翻閱,喜歡設計、藝術、建築類的朋友,可以點杯飲料享受寧靜悠閒的下午
I had breakfast here and highly recommend this space, filled with creative furniture and no duplicated design areas. There are also books to read. For friends who are interested in design, art, and architecture, you can order a drink and enjoy a peaceful and leisurely afternoon.

從另一個方向拍過去,中間三個內推的圓拱洞穴,增添點隱私感
Taken a picture from another angle, those three arched caves give a sense of private space.

電梯前的玄關,喜歡 Wearstler特殊造型的擺飾,大玩材質與色彩的混搭
In front of the elevator is a foyer, where Wearstler’s unique decorative sculptures are displayed. She skillfully mixes materials and colors to create a playful and vivid atmosphere.

每張椅子都有強烈的個性,像是這張以橄欖葉裝飾椅背,雕刻南島圖騰的造型椅,誇張的比例卻充分展示著飯店的海島主題而不失美感
Each chair represents a strong personality, such as this one with an olive leaf decorated backrest and a sculpted South Pacific totem, with an exaggerated proportion that fully showcases the hotel’s island theme. Still preserving the balance of beauty.

圖書沙發區,我最喜歡的角落!
The book and sofa area is my favorite corner!

藏書多關於設計、藝術、建築,和時尚
The topics of books are related to design, art, architecture, and fashion.

Cuisine 美食
我選擇鮭魚貝果沙拉、Chai Latte

Calabria on Rooftop 餐廳



如果逛到 Santa Monica想找個地方歇腳,不妨來 Proper Hotel瞧瞧,窩在一樓的 Palma Lounge看書或是待在屋頂的 Calabria,享受戶外陽光、吹海風,都是不錯的地點,推薦給大家!
If you’re ever in Santa Monica and looking for a place to relax, definitely check out Proper Hotel. You can appreciate their book collection in the Palma Lounge on the first floor or enjoy the outdoor sunshine and sea breeze on the Calabria rooftop. Both spots are great for taking a break and I highly recommend them to everyone!
