The Top Luxury Spas in Los Angeles

In the sprawling grounds of the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, Chuan Spa is a tranquil oasis offering signature holistic treatments inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine. The journey starts in the Contemplation Lounge, where you can discover your element for the day, then step through the Moon Gate and enjoy the heat experience. The Chuan Stone Therapy treatment balances yin and yang energies by integrating hot and cold stones in a therapeutic massage. Another favorite is the Chuan Muddy Elements which turns the five Chinese elements into muds for a healing body wrap. The journey ends in the relaxing Dream Room where you’re offered a choice of teas: sip, and relax.

At the ultra-chic hotel by the same name, the Spa at Beverly Wilshire offers organic treatments and the latest anti-ageing innovations. Go on an exotic journey with the Moroccan Ritual Scrub, where hot argan oil is incorporated into a traditional Moroccan massage. For the ultimate spa and cuisine package, A Taste of Beauty starts with a 90-minute spa treatment, followed by a private seven-course dinner prepared by the hotel’s executive chef. You’ll definitely leave satisfied.

A stone’s throw from the beach in Santa Monica, ONE the Spa is nestled in a relaxing corner of luxury hotel Shutters on the Beach, with the sound of ocean waves the backdrop for this relaxing experience. Feel renewed from head to toe starting with the Hot Stone Massage in which heated lava rocks are massaged into your body with hot oil. We also like the sound of the Gold Re-Surfacing Facial which claims to detoxify skin with Hungarian moor mud. Finish off the session with Chocolate Sun, an organic fake-tan treatment that nourishes skin and gives you that just-back-from-vacation glow.

The Beverly Hills Hotel Spa has a five-star treatment menu featuring more than 40 services.

Next to the hotel’s tranquil roof garden and heated outdoor pool, the Peninsula Spa is a rooftop retreat that offers guests uncompromising levels of luxury. A series of unique treatments include facials labeled as “liquid surgery”. If you’re after the works, indulge in the comprehensive mani-pedi which smoothes, tones, and brightens hands and feet by using all kinds of antioxidant-rich berries, mushrooms and plant extracts. It also comes with a complimentary glass of fizz, so it’s Hollywood glamour through and through.

A favorite among celebrities, the Hotel Bel-Air Spa treats all guests like VIPs.

Treatments include facials from Swiss skincare brand Valmont, exclusive to this hotel; try the Signature Facial, an ultra-luxe treatment that includes an indulgent hand and foot ritual. Complete the experience with a full body massage, and you’ll be red carpet ready in no time.

This hidden gem in Beverly Hills treats guests to the ultimate Japanese spa experience. Everyone from Jessica Alba to Mindy Kaling has sampled Tomoko Spa, which offers a series of unique and rejuvenating treatments including their signature Ofuro bath. The Japanese Experience for couples is a must-try, beginning with a foot soak, and followed by an Ofuro and signature Tomoko massage. The experience takes place in a private suite and includes lunch: sushi from Sugar Fish, organic green tea, and Japanese sweets for dessert.

Tucked away in the cozy coastal community of Manhattan Beach, Trilogy Spa offers award-winning massages, facials, and body treatments designed to relax and reignite the mind, body, and soul.
