Where WeHo unwinds in style.
Bamford Wellness Spa
One of the brightest spots in WeHo’s wellness scene — both literally and figuratively — is Bamford Wellness Spa at 1 Hotel West Hollywood. Created by holistic-wellness pioneer Carole Bamford, the light-filled spa uses only natural and sustainable ingredients for all of its products, from the massage oils to the moisturizers and face serums. The skilled practitioners ensure you’re red-carpet ready from the inside out with their robust menu of massages and other spa treatments.
Recommended massage: B Silent Ritual. This four-part experience aims to prepare you for a deep, peaceful sleep. You’ll start with a foot-bathing ritual, followed by a Japanese shiatsu rocking technique, therapeutic back massage and a temple balm and Indian head massage to encourage deeper relaxation.

Spencer’s
When founder Ryan McCarthy opened the first Spencer’s in New York City, he committed to two things: high-quality treatments and pricing that didn’t feel out of reach. That same approach defines the West Hollywood location, where the spa is styled like a cozy, elevated country home with floor-length drapery, warm wood tones and soft lighting throughout. It’s an easy place to unwind, whether you’re booking an affordable facial, upper-body massage, cryotherapy session or hot-stone treatment.
Recommended massage: Deep-Tissue Massage. If your muscles could talk, they’d ask for this. Firm pressure from hands, elbows and forearms works deep to loosen tight spots, flush out toxins and ease lingering soreness. With a focus on the neck, shoulders and lower back, it’s a go-to for shaking off daily stress and walking out looser, lighter and ready for a great night’s sleep.

The Spa at The West Hollywood EDITION
Awarded a Five-Star rating by Forbes Travel Guide, this spa at The West Hollywood EDITION hotel blends cutting-edge technology with treatments grounded in ancient rituals. Their spa menu includes an array of customizable massages, from a deep-tissue massage to light-pressure options for moms-to-be. Guests can also book sound and light treatments as well as self-guided meditations.
Recommended massage: Self-Love. This 50- or 80-minute experience lives up to its name with Le Labo massage oil, rose quartz gua-sha and a seasonal foot scrub, along with a flute of Veuve Clicquot Champagne, a chocolate pastry your own scented oil to take home.

Ole Henriksen Spa
If you consider yourself a self-care aficionado, you’ve likely heard the name Ole Henriksen. While Henriksen is best known for his line of premium skincare products, his West Hollywood spa is an insider favorite for massages of the highest caliber. Many of the services are designed for couples, making this a must for a romantic getaway. Every session begins with a private consultation where you can discuss your wants, needs and pain points with your massage therapist, creating a space for true healing and therapeutic bodywork.
Recommended massage: Herbal Heat. If you’re experiencing stiffness or sore muscles, this deep-tissue massage with heated pain-relief gel is just what the doctor ordered.

Spa at Sunset Marquis
Touted as a “respite for the creative mind,” the glamorous Sunset Marquis hotel has been a haven for musicians, actors and artists of all kinds for more than 60 years. As every creative person knows, we all need time to step away and recharge — that’s why Sunset Marquis’ music-themed spa menu offers a host of restorative in-room services, including wellness rituals, facial enhancements and, of course, massages, all tailored to the most discerning clientele. And no treatment is complete without a stroll through the hotel’s lush Spa Garden — a peaceful oasis amid the bustling Sunset Strip.
Recommended massage: Rolling Stone Serenade. While the Spa at Sunset Marquis can’t take credit for Mick Jagger’s endless youth, this 80-minute massage, which utilizes hand-carved basalt stones, was inspired by the songs the band wrote at the hotel.

Vie Healing
Also located at the Sunset Marquis, Vie Healing blends Chinese and Eastern medicine with the finest contemporary techniques and products. Created by Mona Dan — praised by Vogue, Forbes and Goop for her invention of 24K Gold Ear Seeds — the spa is rooted in acupuncture, with a menu that also includes facial rejuvenation, body treatments and energy work, all grounded in an intentional approach to wellness.
Recommended massage: Tui Na + Cupping. This hyper-targeted form of Chinese massage involves kneading, pressing, rolling and shaking to manipulate the muscles, tendons and pressure points throughout the body.

Sitting pretty on the Sunset Boulevard, The Sun Rose West Hollywood is one of LA’s trendiest hotels — and its on-site spa is no different. Lush greenery softens every corner of The Spa at Sun Rose, and the calming atmosphere invites you to slow down from the moment you step inside. Treatments are thoughtfully tailored to your needs, from stress-melting massages to restorative facials and bodywork designed to leave you feeling balanced, renewed and deeply relaxed.

Joanna Vargas
Aesthetician Joanna Vargas is something of a celebrity secret weapon. She opened her original West Coast outpost at the iconic Sunset Tower Hotel before moving to the ultra-chic Kings Road space she currently occupies. Vargas has introduced treatments and modalities from around the world to West Hollywood, including her signature facial — a hit during awards season — as well as luxurious massages and remedial body treatments. While at the spa, be sure to browse her popular line of science-based skincare products that will leave you glowing.
Recommended massage: The Jet-Setter Massage. This tension-relieving neck and shoulder massage is a fantastic way to get your body feeling its best post-travel.
