“While many Austin boutique hotels emphasize their down-home roots, the Proper Hotel is unapologetically urban, and architecturally, it’s as contemporary as they come. The design is by the same Kelly Wearstler who’s responsible for the mini-chain’s California installments…”
“…every corner is imbued with locally inspired décor and furnishings that have a layered refinement.”
“The country’s indie-cool capital gets a stylish hotel that everybody wants to hangout in.”
