VIBE

After a recent refurb, this decadant, ultra-pampering spa offers eight luxe treatment rooms as well as several outdoor cabanas. All services start with a divine foot soak and tea service in the Serenity Lounge before clients are whisked off for customized treatments. A testament to the celebs LeSpa caters to, two private spa suites offer every possible amenity …including a separate area for bodyguards. The decor is dominated by calming dark wood, and locker rooms are spacious and luxurious. The separate mani and pedi spa is good for groups.

WHY WE LIKE IT

The tea and the foot soak are a lovely way to start, giving it a small edge over similar luxury hotel spas in town. Also, as it’s just across the street from the Beverly Center, this is a great post-shop stop.

WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE

The pool is super itsy-bitsy and not as fun or atmospheric as other luxury hotel pools–if anyone else is in it, you’ll feel crowded out.

GOOD TO KNOW

There’s a private entrance for the spa, so you won’t have to wander through the main lobby or corridors of the hotel to get in. Stone Rose Lounge located off the hotel lobby is great for meeting friends for a post-massage cocktail. Definitely make sure you book in advance–LeSpa only schedules a max of two new guests per appointment time.
