Learners sometimes say *"proximity of"* instead of *"proximity to"*, as in *"the proximity of the station"*. The natural pattern is *"proximity to"*: *"the station’s proximity to the hotel"* or *"the hotel is in close proximity to the station"*. Another point: some teachers call *"close proximity"* redundant, but it is very common and acceptable in real usage.
