About Proper Hotel San Francisco
Housed in an historic flat-iron building, the Proper Hotel San Francisco offers a luxurious stay in an area of the city revitalised as an innovation hub.
The beaux-arts landmark has been meticulously restored and its heritage showcased with modem design elements. Renowned interior designer Kelly Wearstler has envisioned the rooms and suites as elegant pied-à-terres and decorated with a mix of rich textures, vintage furnishings and expertly clashing prints. Not to be missed is Charmaine’s rooftop bar where you can take in unparalleled views of the city by the Bay.
Layered with deep hues, rich textures and natural materials, the hotel collages a graphic vibrance with vintage design cues from early Modernist, Cubist and Secessionist eras.
