PROPER HOTEL
MID-MARKET DISTRICT
The vibrant Californian city of San
Francisco has always been home
to some of the most imaginative
minds alive, from the thriving
high-culture art scene of the 1950s
to the ambitious entrepreneurs and
tech giants that prosper today. For
a city so rich in creativity, culture,
diversity and eccentricity, there
was no better match than interior
designer-to-the-stars and America’s
queen of maximalist style, Kelly
Wearstler. Tasked with reimagining
the 1909 flatiron building, designed
by renowned local architect Albert
Pissis, Kelly has encapsulated the
colourful and quirky nature of San
Francisco’s buzzing metropolis to
design the flagship Proper Hotel. >“The city of San Francisco
was our muse for everything,
from the colour palette to the
artwork displayed throughout
the property,” says Kelly, who
drew inspiration from the
surrounding physical and
cultural landscape for the
design. “The interior design
reflects the building’s rich
history and San Francisco’s
culture today.”SAN FRANCISCO, USA
