From consciously sourced seafood to seed oil-free kitchens and regenerative grains, it’s food designed to restore, energize, and bring people together.
Setting a New Standard in Wellness-Focused Hotel Cuisine
Proper is proud to set a new standard in healthy dining by becoming the first luxury hotel group to eliminate seed oils across all kitchens at our flagship brands, Proper and By Proper.
