Highs & Lows

  • There are a few boutiques in and around SF, but the Proper might be the only modern, creative, and stylish hotel in the heart of the city. This one is for the downtown crowd.

  • New to San Francisco? The whole staff is incredibly friendly, and will give you the insider scoop in no time.

  • Kelly Wearstler. Her touch is everywhere, but it's really in the rooms that her design amplifies the comfort.

  • Sadly the rooftop bar and coffee shop weren't opened yet, but that'll be rectified soon!
