Evidence by area
All eight areas, in the order this index reads them. Every line was read and placed by a person.
Air Ecology
The hotel publishes air purification as a feature of its Wellness Rooms, a room category rather than the whole property. No system, grade or measurement is named on the hotel's own page.
In their words: “newly introduced Wellness Rooms featuring Eight Sleep technology, air and water purification, and curated sleep rituals”
Trade press names the Jaspr Air Purifier as the air purification unit in the Restorative Wellness Rooms. A named product, in a room category. Nothing is published on filtration performance, and no particulate reading exists.
In their words: “advanced air and water purification technology from Jaspr Air Purifier”

Girls Who Eat, a non-toxic travel publication that states its reviews draw on information the hotel gave it directly, reports air purification throughout the property, wider than the two Wellness Room categories the hotel itself names.
In their words: “the Proper Hotel combines seed-oil-free dining with a locally sourced kitchen, air purification throughout the property”
Water Integrity
Trade press names Filterbaby Pro shower and faucet filters in the Wellness Rooms, a room category rather than the whole property. A named filtration product. No water quality test panel is published.
In their words: “Filterbaby Pro Shower & Skincare Faucet Filters”
Read it: Proper Hotels Unveils Shoppable Wellness Suites in Santa Monica Archived copy
The hotel's own page publishes water purification as a Wellness Room feature without naming a system or a result.
In their words: “newly introduced Wellness Rooms featuring Eight Sleep technology, air and water purification, and curated sleep rituals”
Light Rhythm
The hotel publishes controls for lighting and shades in its rooms. No colour temperature, flicker or blackout specification is published.
In their words: “Signature Proper beds, premium amenities, and intuitive controls for lighting and shades meet a wellness-forward experience”
Trade press names Loftie sunrise alarm clocks in the Restorative Wellness Rooms, a named wake-light product in one room category. The wider room lighting carries no published colour temperature or flicker figure. Recorded as an amenity claim: a bedside wake-light is a device beside the bed, not the room's lighting design, per the Light Rhythm threshold rule.
In their words: “Loftie's sunrise alarm clock with guided meditations”

EMF Harmony
Not published. We looked and found nothing on this, which is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.
Materials and Textiles
Design press names the room materials: a base palette of light hardwood timber, and terracotta subway tiles in the bathrooms of the original 1920s Art Deco wing. Nothing is published on emissions or textile provenance.
In their words: “light hardwood timber and taupe”
Read it: Design Destination: Santa Monica Proper by Kelly Wearstler Archived copy
The millwork supplier publishes the hotel on its own project page: Delta Millworks Cypress Select in a Tiger Smooth finish, in Navajo White and Taupe, through the restaurant, library and lounge. A named supplier, species and finish, checkable from the supplier's end. Nothing is published on sealants or emissions.
In their words: “Throughout the interiors—which include an expansive restaurant, library, and lounge area off the check-in desk—the design includes our Cypress Select Tiger Smooth in Navajo White and Taupe”
Design press names the floor and wall build: wire brushed oak hardwood floors, hand troweled plaster walls, and vintage bamboo wall lights by Ingo Maurer. Named materials and a named maker; no finish specification is published.
In their words: “wire brushed oak hardwood floors”

Food and Kitchen
The hotel publishes seed oil free cooking as kitchen practice, with produce from the Santa Monica Farmers Market and responsibly sourced seafood. A named market and a named practice; the grower list and the share of sourcing are not published.
In their words: “Proper’s approach to dining honors sustainability, seasonality, and local sourcing, from Santa Monica Farmers Market fruits to seed oil-free cooking and responsibly sourced seafood.”
The hotel names the replacement fats behind the seed oil free line: extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and Zero Acre oil for high heat. The same page publishes grass fed meats, free range poultry, non-GMO proteins and biodynamic and natural wines. A named oil list is checkable; the grower list still is not.
In their words: “extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and Zero Acre oil for high-heat applications”
Read it: Santa Monica Proper Restaurants & Bars Archived copy
The group's nourishment page names the whole kitchen system at brand level: exclusively extra virgin olive, avocado, coconut and Zero Acre oil for high heat, organic and farmers-market produce with named partners Harry's Berries and Chino Farms, regenerative grains, grass-fed meats and free-range poultry, across every flagship kitchen.
It covers the operator or the group, not this property on its own.
In their words: “Our culinary teams cook exclusively with clean, stable fats: extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and Zero Acre oil for high-heat applications.”
The hotel's own wellness page states the kitchen rule for both named restaurants: menus at Palma and Calabra crafted with regenerative ingredients and no seed oils.
In their words: “nourishing menus at Palma and Calabra crafted with regenerative ingredients, no seed oils, and full of flavor”
Biophilic and Healing Design
The hotel publishes curved windows and garden terraces as features of its rooms. No planting scheme or daylight strategy is published.
In their words: “every room channels the rhythm of the coast-curved windows, sun-warmed textures, and garden terraces made for golden hour”
Design press documents the building as a 1920s Art Deco structure joined to a contemporary curved addition by Howard Laks Architects, with full-height windows in the extension.
In their words: “contemporary concrete walls and full-height windows”

Disclosures
Compare what each stay offers, how it was checked and what still needs confirming. Assessment labels describe the review, not an overall quality rating.
A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
A score describes proof: what a stay publishes and, on a Human Garage certified stay, what our assessor checked in person. It is not a quality rating of the property. Listings are free, and any commercial relationship is disclosed.
