THE SPA Le Spa features individual tea service, products from Paris Decleor and Carita, heated-rock foot soaks, and foot massages before every treatment.

SETTING Between Hollywood and Beverly Hills, this spot is ideal for shopping and nightlife.

SIGNATURE TREATMENT Winter's decadent Treatment of the Season is a dark chocolate and champagne mask, with a peppermint milk bath. You also get bonus use of the VIP Couple's Suite with personal changing area, steam shower, and chromotherapy tubs.

MORE THAN MASSAGE Shop with the stars in the designer boutiques on Rodeo Drive or explore walkable L.A. neighborhoods like Santa Monica and Silverlake.

CUISINE The hotel's restaurant, Simon L.A., ladles up a healthy market minestrone and tosses a mean filet-mignon Cobb salad. Follow it with a sticky warm molten banana-caramel pudding cake.
