The sun-soaked city may be known for its high-end shopping and glamorous restaurants but Los Angeles is also home to incredible spas. From healing thermal pools to bespoke facials, these wellness sanctuaries cater to every whim and need.

Hotel Bel-Air’s spa is a five-star retreat with male and female steam rooms, fancy Valmont spa products, and a nail suite. Couples can choose the Enclave Suite for a private retreat.

Hotel Bel-Air

Guests of Hotel Bel-Air find themselves worlds away from the noise and roar of downtown LA when they enter the gates. The hustle and bustle of the city melds into a quiet, elegant oasis surrounded by lush gardens and pristine canyons. At this place the best spas in Los Angeles come into focus.

This historic 1950s property is a full-service resort, and the 103 rooms and suites ooze Hollywood glamour with comfort and style. Rooms feature large windows and views of the garden, while modern furnishings and white bedding blend classic California living with a touch of modern. Bathrooms offer deep soaking tubs and luxury spa products, plus a separate shower and vanity. Some rooms also include a furnished patio with a private spa pool and fireplace.

Designed with estate living in mind, the rooms and suites feel more like a home than an hotel. A variety of opulent rooms and suites are situated throughout the hotel grounds, from a sprawling Herb Garden Suite to the presidential-sized Bel Air Retreat. Some rooms even open to a lush courtyard garden with resident swans. Rooms with sliding glass walls are a perfect way to take in the verdant surroundings.

The Hotel Bel-Air is known as a celebrity hangout, and well-heeled celebrities often flock to the property for its low-key enchantment. The vibe is luxurious yet relaxed, and snobbishness is left outside the gates. The property is located within a 10-15 minute drive of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, and is just a stone's throw from UCLA.

The Conrad Los Angeles

This hotel, which opened in 2022, is part of the stunning Grand LA complex designed by Frank Gehry (best known for his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and The Walt Disney Concert Hall across the street). It feels like stepping into a different era, with its wood furniture, soothing earth tones, and dramatic views.

The Conrad Los Angeles is a sleek modern oasis in downtown LA, set within the cultural corridor and a short walk to major attractions. It offers a range of luxury amenities to complement its elegant rooms, including an upscale spa with recovery cabins. The hotel also makes a difference in the community by employing a percentage of its staff from local non-profit organizations that support formerly incarcerated individuals and women experiencing homelessness.

For a bite to eat, guests can visit the on-site restaurants led by acclaimed chef Jose Andres. San Laurel is the hotel’s fine dining venue that celebrates Spanish flavors with California ingredients, while Alto and Airlight serve light bites and drinks. Both restaurants offer a romantic ambiance, making them great options for couples on a romantic getaway.

The property’s spa takes healing to new heights with a menu featuring innovative massages and facials using elite skincare brands such as Augustinus Bader and L.A-based Angela Caglia. Guests can also treat themselves to PEMF infrared sauna sessions, NuCalm Recharge meditation, and compression therapy.

IntoMeSea

This state-of-the-art Quantum GalaxSEA of Wellness focuses on healing and intention with treatments that use the powers of water, salt, light, sound, and sweat. Jen Williams, founder of the studio, says she aims to “ground and balance” and “create peace and zen.” The open space on Lincoln Boulevard includes floatation tanks and crystal soaking tubs and features sustainable design by local environmental architect David Hertz. Solar panels and thermal panels provide energy to power the spa and a machine called Skywater pulls moisture from the atmosphere for showers and floatation tanks.

The spa also has a lounge and locker rooms with herbal saunas, an oxygen bar, and a relaxation room. It offers several packages for couples, including a copper hydrotherapy tub and massages with jade stones.

There’s also a full range of facials, from classic to deep tissue, as well as dermaplaning and microdermabrasion. The menu also has a variety of nail services, from manicures to pedicures.

The spa is small and intimate, but the therapists are great and the services are worth the trip. I highly recommend the Goddess wet treatment and the Goddess foot scrub. The staff is super friendly and the facility is very clean and inviting. It’s also affordable and conveniently located! I will definitely be going back. I haven’t been to another spa that compares.

Den Mother

The Den Mother is a healing house that offers a wiser form of wellness, bringing together healing techniques from ancient cultures. Its services include Ayurvedic bodywork, Japanese acupuncture, Chinese reflexology, Nordic bathing, and Asian tea ceremony in serene social spaces that bring you back to yourself.

The space is curated by Heather Tierney, who leads the design for Venice’s Butcher’s Daughter restaurants. Tierney says she’s always dreamed of extending the “oasis in the city” feel to a restaurant component. “This is an opportunity to do that,” she says.

Its menu is inspired by the idea of a nourishing, cleansing meal, with an emphasis on fermented foods and drinks. Sawtelle Sake, a local California producer, is on tap; the cocktails are made with herbal infusions; and tea from Huxbrook and Wild Terra is available.

The Den Mother is located at 1209 Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California. There are several ways to get there using public transit, including bus and light rail.
