A design visit to remember ✨
Our time at Downtown L.A. Proper Hotel was just as inspiring as it was memorable. Designed by renowned interior designer Kelly Wearstler, the hotel is a beautiful balance of historic architecture, bold creativity, and effortless California style.
Originally built in the 1920s, the property preserves its historic character while introducing a layered, eclectic aesthetic through vintage and contemporary furnishings, rich patterns, sculptural forms, colorful tile, art, and unexpected material combinations.
The design is rooted in Mexican modernism, with influences from Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Moroccan design woven throughout. What makes the interiors so captivating is the juxtaposition: historic architecture paired with contemporary forms, vintage furniture alongside custom pieces, rich textiles and rugs balanced with bold tilework, and warm, earthy tones punctuated by unexpected color and pattern.
