A former basketball court and an indoor swimming pool are unlikely starting points for hotel suites. At Downtown L.A. Proper Hotel, they explain much of the appeal: a historic Broadway building has been given a distinctive second life through Kelly Wearstler's interiors. Its 147 rooms and suites share a rooftop pool, Cara Cara restaurant and a downtown address at 1100 South Broadway. This is a Los Angeles hotel for guests whose plans revolve around DTLA's architecture, galleries and entertainment venues, with enough to enjoy inside the building to justify an afternoon off.
Queen rooms with a roll-in shower are also available.
Tall original windows frame the historic Downtown LA streets in most layouts. The bedroom includes a compact sitting area. Woven fabrics in earthy colors sit against textured plaster walls. Custom and vintage pieces furnish the room.
Hand-glazed tiles give the bathroom its Moroccan style. In standard layouts, a walk-in shower sits within the tile-lined bathing space, alongside twin sinks sharing a stone vanity. Rattan wall lamps and glass lights add more layers to the room.

The red-brick landmark at Broadway and 11th Street dates from the 1920s. Architects Alexander Curlett and Claud Beelman gave it a Renaissance Revival exterior, and the building's sporting past remains evident in its unusual accommodation. Proper's design does not treat that history as a reason to keep everything restrained. Pattern, tile and vintage furniture sit alongside custom pieces, making the interiors an important part of the stay.
Wearstler's rooms have hand-raked plaster walls and woven textiles, with Moroccan influences in the tiled bathrooms. Local art adds another layer to the mix. Guests who enjoy looking closely at materials and furniture will find more interest here than in a hotel built around a neutral design scheme. It is expressive, though the bedroom palette is softer than the richly colored lounges.
Deluxe Queen rooms start at approximately 270 square feet, with a sitting area and a walk-in shower. A Deluxe King offers around 337 square feet and adds a settee with a table for working or dining. These are useful distinctions for a stay that includes working in the room: the extra seating matters more than the bed size alone. View categories look toward downtown streets and buildings, rather than promising the same panorama from every window.
Bellino linens, custom throws and Aesop bathroom products are part of the room furnishings. Practical details include a fabric steamer and Bluetooth speaker, with Nespresso machines available on request. Connecting rooms and accessible accommodation are offered. Families should establish the exact room combination before booking, especially when separate sleeping areas are important.
The Premier Suite is a more conventional alternative to the hotel's headline suites. At approximately 641 square feet, it has one bedroom, a separate living room and one-and-a-half bathrooms. Large windows, historical moldings and works by local artists give it character, while the additional guest bathroom makes having visitors easier. The main bathroom has a tiled shower and twin vanities. It is a sensible category for a longer downtown visit when living room space matters but a private pool does not.
The Basketball Suite occupies the building's original court, using double-height ceilings to give its approximately 1,430 square feet an unusually open feel. One bedroom, one-and-a-half bathrooms, and living and dining areas sit within a Spanish-influenced interior. Its attraction is the architecture and scale of the former court, rather than the promise of a sports facility attached to a bedroom. A guest spending several evenings in the suite will appreciate it differently from someone stopping for one night before a meeting.
The Pool Suite is more unusual still. A 35-by-12-foot indoor pool from the building's YWCA past sits within a suite of approximately 2,777 square feet. A separate bedroom accompanies the open living and dining arrangement. Los Angeles artist Ben Medansky created the ceramic mural beside the pool; marble and stonework take inspiration from Portugal. Here, swimming is private and indoors. Other guests use the hotel's rooftop pool.
A Two Bedroom Pool Suite configuration expands the accommodation to approximately 3,055 square feet, combining king and queen bedrooms with two en suite bathrooms. For guests traveling together, that layout provides separation without losing the shared living area. Room dimensions are approximate, so the chosen configuration is worth confirming before planning an extended stay around it.
Cara Cara brings the hotel outdoors. The rooftop restaurant and bar overlooks the downtown skyline, with planted seating areas and fire pits giving guests different places to settle. California produce guides the food, alongside cocktails, wines and local beers. It works for a meal as well as a drink with a view; the appeal is being above the streets while still looking directly at the city.
After visiting a gallery or attending an event, the rooftop offers an evening close to the room. It is also a destination for local diners, which gives it a different atmosphere from a residents-only lounge. A table reservation is worthwhile when Cara Cara is a particular part of the plan. Guests seeking an entirely secluded hotel experience should bear that public restaurant setting in mind.
Cabrillo occupies the ground floor, serving California-inspired breakfasts, fresh juices and smoothies. Wearstler's interiors continue here, so even a simple start to the day feels connected to the rest of the building. For guests leaving for a conference or an early appointment downtown, breakfast downstairs is a practical option before heading out.
Dahlia changes the mood with pink and amber tones, textured tiles and vintage furnishings. A custom glass installation by Los Angeles's Judson Studios gives the lounge a local point of reference. Afternoon tea is part of its offering, with savory bites, pastries and scones alongside teas and drinks. The smaller room favors conversation over the broad skyline outlook upstairs. In-room dining provides another option when privacy is preferable to either restaurant setting.
The heated rooftop pool and sundeck make a useful break between appointments, with city views keeping the location in sight. This is an urban pool experience, not a substitute for a beach resort. The fitness center includes Woodway treadmills, Peloton bikes, a rower and strength equipment, giving guests options beyond a brief cardio session.
Spa Connections provides treatments in guest rooms by arrangement, including massages and facials. That distinction matters when comparing wellness facilities: the treatment comes to the room. For a downtown business stay, being able to arrange a massage without another car journey can be more useful than a large spa itinerary.
The Fashion District and Broadway's historic theaters help define the neighborhood. Crypto.com Arena, L.A. Live and the Los Angeles Convention Center make this a relevant address for event-led visits. Elsewhere downtown, The Broad, MOCA and Walt Disney Concert Hall offer reasons to extend the stay beyond a single performance or meeting. These destinations are spread across DTLA; they should not all be treated as immediate neighbors.
LAX is approximately 16 miles away, and traffic should shape any airport plan. There is no hotel shuttle, although paid private car services and valet parking are available. Proper makes the most sense when downtown is the focus of the trip. A beach-led holiday or repeated Westside appointments call for a different location; here, the reward is a stay connected to Broadway, with a rooftop and rooms that have their own reasons to return.
Kelly Wearstler's interiors make the Broadway landmark worth exploring indoors, with local art, vintage furnishings, and patterned tile throughout its guest spaces.
Cara Cara's rooftop dining pairs California cooking with a view over downtown, so an evening meal keeps Los Angeles in sight.
Dahlia's bookable afternoon tea offers scones and pastries in an intimate indoor lounge, with a setting for conversation away from the open rooftop.

Book a suite if you want more space or a more memorable design experience. The hotel's most famous specialty suites are shaped by the building's former basketball court and indoor pool.
