What comes with your stay

This programme does not publish its benefits, so we do not list them here. Ask us what your stay includes before you book and we will tell you exactly what applies to the property you are looking at.

Where you can stay

Proper Hotels: Austin, Downtown L.A., San Francisco, Santa Monica. By Proper: The Shelborne Miami, Montauk Yacht Club, Hotel June, Avalon Hotels, The Culver Hotel, Ingleside Estate.

  • The Collective

Proper is what happens when a hotel group hands its interiors to a designer with a strong point of view and then declines to talk her down. Downtown LA Proper occupies a 1920s Renaissance Revival building filled with tile, pattern and hand thrown ceramics; Santa Monica Proper is bleached and coastal; Austin Proper is all leather and Texas modernism. The group also runs By Proper, a set of adopted properties including the Shelborne in Miami and Montauk Yacht Club, and The Collective.

The hotels are good and the programme is real. What is not public is what it gives you.

These benefits come from the partner programmes this practice belongs to, and they are added to your reservation when we make the booking. They cost you nothing: the rate you pay is the rate you would find yourself. What varies is the property, because each programme sets its own terms and a few of them set them hotel by hotel.
