The Proper Club
Santa Monica's most exclusive wellness membership
Editor’s Take
The initiation fee is steep but the Ammortal Chamber alone is worth experiencing. Best visited on weekday mornings when the pool deck is nearly empty.
About
The Proper Club is what happens when a design-forward hotel decides its wellness floor deserves its own universe. Housed inside Santa Monica Proper, this members-only club bundles sauna circuits, cold plunge, a heated pool, and the genuinely intriguing Ammortal Chamber — a bio-optimization room that feels pulled from a near-future wellness thriller. Surya Spa handles the Ayurvedic side, and the whole thing is wrapped in the kind of quiet luxury that makes you forget you're on Wilshire. The real play here is the lifestyle stack. You get a workspace that rivals any WeWork, a pool deck that functions as your outdoor office, and wellness modalities serious enough that you won't outgrow them in six months. The crowd skews toward founders, creatives, and the occasional entertainment executive who'd rather cold plunge than do lunch at Shutters. It's expensive — no way around that — but the breadth of what's included makes the math more defensible than most $$$$ memberships in LA. If you're the type who wants one place to handle your morning sauna, afternoon work session, and evening swim, The Proper Club is the rare membership that actually delivers on the all-in-one promise. The initiation fee filters out the curious, which keeps the spaces uncrowded. This is premium wellness for people who've already tried everything else and want it consolidated under one very good roof.
