By Carrie Rodgers January 29, 2026

In the West Coast Capital of Wellness, you can rise with the sun during rooftop yoga, recharge with cutting-edge spa treatments and savor healthy cuisine that tastes as good as it makes you feel. West Hollywood’s innovative, hyper-modern wellness scene elevates luxury pampering into a full sensory experience where every detail feels curated especially for you. 

The city’s boutique hotels and world-class spas make it the perfect home base for a self-care weekend — but our location between sun-kissed beaches and the iconic Hollywood Hills keep Los Angeles’ best within easy reach.

Book a Stay for Rest, Recovery & Style

If relaxation is what you’re after, these four West Hollywood hotels have full-service in-house spas ready to cater to your every need.

Friday: Start Your Weekend Mindfully

Morning Flow

Begin your day with intention during a morning yoga session designed to awaken both mind and body. Try Sweat Yoga’s signature Sweat Flow class or practice sun salutations that lead to deeper bends and twists at Shiva Yoga. Or, let instructors guide you through dynamic poses set to upbeat music in a Yoga Sculpt class at The Sun Rose Hotel. 

Health-Forward Lunch

Order the famous-for-a-reason grain bowl from the Parisian-chic Zinqué or grab a flavor-packed smoothie or crisp salad from the Aussie-inspired Strings of Life (SOL) for your daily greens fix. If you’re on the move, stop by Kreation Juicery & Avoholic Bar for a cold-pressed juice or fresh ginger shot prepared with seasonal, locally sourced produce.  

Inner Peace & Ocean Breezes

Tucked just off Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades (about a 30–40-minute drive from West Hollywood), the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine is one of LA’s most special hidden gems. Recently reopened after the 2025 Palisades Fire, this tranquil sanctuary feels worlds away from the city. Reserve your visit to wander through the golden lotus archway, step into the storybook windmill chapel and pause by the quiet lake, home to two resident swans.

From there, you’re well positioned for a beach stroll. Will Rogers Beach is close by, with Santa Monica and Venice beaches just a short drive south along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). With the windows down and the sea breeze rolling in, even the journey becomes part of the self-care.

Dinner at a Renowned Vegan Restaurant

Back in WeHo, pair California wines with plant-based pastas like carbonara and cacio e pepe at Pura Vita, the nation’s first fully vegan Italian restaurant and wine bar. For a veggie-forward feast, Butcher’s Daughter serves creative dishes and refreshing juices. Elevate your evening at Gracias Madre, where organic, meatless Mexican cuisine and a curated tequila selection celebrate sustainability.
