Kya is the most incredible bodyworker I've ever encountered. I met her at Ole Henriksen several years ago and I will follow her anywhere. Her hands are pure magic - she's so intuitive that I never have to give her any feedback on pressure and she always manages to find the source of all my discomfort. A massage with Kya is unlike anything you've ever experienced - her slow, intentional movements feel like a dance, and it's almost as if she's having a dialogue with your body. Her energy is also extremely healing. I always walk out of the therapy room feeling like I've had a nervous system reset. I'm not usually a fan of hotel spas as I feel like you usually get overpriced, mediocre massages. Kya, on the other hand, is worth the splurge. read more

I really love the spa at Hotel Bel Air. First of all, the entire hotel gives the vibe that you are outside of Los Angeles in this beautiful- peaceful forest. Secondly the service is wonderful, everyone is nice and friendly, all the masseuse I had there kept checking initially to make sure I'm comfortable. I highly suggest this place for a relaxing day. read more

Hotel Bel-Air Spa - Waiting area - Hotels Near Me - Los Angeles, California

LOVE THIS SPA!!! Went here recently for some early birthday pampering, and this place didn't disappoint! I had the Firmness of the Hills facial with Suzanne! She's amazing! Perfect massage pressure, and she was super sweet and knowledgeable about skincare! Then, I experienced the ultimate Valmont pedicure with Lysette. Wow!!!! The greatest foot and leg massage I could ever imagine! I'm so happy with my services I received! They no longer retail La Prairie, which I was glad to hear. They retail and use Valmont, a British skincare line that I forgot the name of, and Aromatherapy Associates. The only thing missing is that they lack snacks and fruit in the relaxation lounge. Do try their Swan Song tea, which is exclusive to Hotel Bel-Air! Their locker room was beautiful and had everything you could think of, that you would need. Steam room, lockers, showers, etc. My experience was Spahhmazing!! Although very high end and pricey, this place deserves to be tried once in your lifetime. Cheers! Highly recommended! Go see Suzanne and Lysette! Bucket list worthy!!! read more

I had the best facial here at this spa. Hotel Bel Air is super understated and elegant, and the ambiance at the spa wasn't any different. My sister and I had a massage and facial, respectively. What we discovered was that our treatments are the best that we've had, despite visiting top spas all over the world including the Dior Spa at Cheval Blanc in Paris. It felt like both of the masseuse and esthetician just went out of their way to make the experience unique - sometimes at spas, you feel like the staff is phoning it in. Not these folks. My esthetician was amazing - she used the best products but just treated my face, my body nonstop. I felt so relaxed during the treatment and afterwards - pretty sure there were a couple of snores through the treatment! The only weird part is that the treatment rooms and relaxation area was co-ed. The woman's dressing area had the door open which was kind of uncomfortable. Top class services and staff - you can tell that the hotel treats its employees well because they pass that on to their clients. read more

I had a girls' weekend in LA, and my friend suggested that we do a spa day at one of her favorite hotels, the Hotel Bel-Air. It did not disappoint! We got the Ultimate Escape spa package which was a massage, hydration facial, manicure and pedicure which is about four hours of spa treatments (and also includes a glass of champagne). All of the treatments were lovely but it was almost too much of a good thing (if that's possible!). My favorite treatment was a facial with Suzanne. She did a wonderful job spending time with my skin, spending extra time on certain areas and also recommending products that she thought would be helpful. The manicure and pedicure with Miho were excellent - I especially appreciated the care and detail she took with my manicure. Unfortunately, we were so rushed getting to the spa for our treatments that we didn't have a chance to enjoy the grounds or the relaxation room as much as we would have liked. The relaxation room is on the small side (as is the locker room) but all of the facilities are well-designed and thoughtfully constructed. There are some complimentary snacks and beverages (tea, water) and it looked as though you could order food to the relaxation room. read more

If you are wondering whether to go to Hotel Bel-Air or its sister hotel, Hotel Beverly Hills... then I'd say to go for Hotel Bel-Air for several reasons. First and foremost, it's very private and secluded. Coming here is almost like driving through a forest/a maze. If you want to do a weekend getaway with very low chances of bumping into someone you know, then this is your spot :) ~What they offered: I wanted to spend the full day here, so I got the whole package that gives access to all the facilities. First- You can choose either a full-body massage or full facial by a certified esthetician. Second, you can have whatever lunch at the hotel restaurant which happens to be Wolfgang Puck. Third, you end your day with a mani/pedi + champagne. ~What I chose: I went with the facial instead of the massage bc they use all Valmont products (it's European & difficult to purchase) which I've wanted to try for awhile now. Long story short, Valmont was not compatible with my sensitive skin type, but overall, the facial was a good, relaxing experience nonetheless. The robes & showers & beds were cloud-soft. Nothing like putting on a fluffy robe that's twice the size of you. The individual shower room was interesting. Showers were coming out of every inch of each wall, so my body was covered in water, like a full 360 degrees at all times. It was a similar sensation to being in a warm tub, except you are not in still waters; it's constantly running. It felt like a cool experience at first, but I wouldn't want something like that inside my house, if that makes sense. It was too much for me. The eucalyptus steam room was the BEST part though. Now That is smthg I would love to have at my own home, but I'll just have to come again for more next time. It's exactly what it sounds like, a steam room with eucalyptus oil scent. It relaxes the mind & body, and opens up all your pores which makes for a great pre-facial step. Also, the ceiling is gorgeous; it's like star gazing in Yosemite. Dreamy :) In-between my facial, lunch, and nail appt, I got to hang out at the lounge, where they have snacks and drinks with a beautiful garden view. Overall, I rate this as a great experience but a tad pricey bc of location. Total came out to $380 + tip for the aesthetician, which is pretty standard. Valet is not included. Great place to unwind, by yourself or with a gal pal. Highly Recommend! read more

I live near by. This is one of my favorite hotels in the world. I flew my mom in for Mother's Day and I wanted to take her for a spa treatment. The mail tech helping my mom asked if we wanted something to eat. I'm pregnant with twins so I said that would be great. Then, upon hearing what I was planning to order... she said that was more food than she could allow me to have in the spa. Pro Tip: Don't tell a woman carrying twins she's ordering too much food. Anyway, so I ordered a salad. Then the server came back and asked if I would like to order something else because the salad is very small. LOL I was like, please just clearly tell me what I'm allowed to eat in here. No one seemed to have an answer. Anyway... like I said, this property is beautiful and so special. And my massage was not exactly relaxing but effective and removing knots (which I'll take). I'm in the process of waiting on the food and getting the mani. Will change review if warranted. Wish me luck. lol read more

The spa is tiny and doesn't offer amenities other than a sauna. The services are overpriced for the quality and what they offer. Additionally, the heater on the bed wasn't working so they stuck me in the facial room. They also add a 20% gratuity automatically. I was unimpressed. read more

I so wanted to like this spa.....but I didn't. The locker room is tiny and there is nowhere to get changed. I had to go into the WC to change just to feel like I wasn't standing in a hallway. I had 4 service. My massage and facial were lovely. Great services delivered in a lovely environment. Then the day took a turn. My nail tech came to get me and took me for my pedicure. The chair is awful and because you are in a robe they should help to give you privacy. You face a walkway that is very busy so it's a issue. The pedicure was okay but not worth the price. And everything is an add on...they keep asking you to the point that is annoying. But then another woman walked in and was having a full on facetime call without headphones. This went on for a few minutes and I looked at my tech and asked if she could address it. She looked really annoyed and put out - seriously? And then during my manicure she CUT my cuticle and it bled. Not alot but this is literally nail 101 - and she made it seem like it wasnt a big deal. When I checked out noone asked how my services were...just wanted to collect my payment and be on my way. Won't be going back. There are much better places to go. read more

This is my go to spa and it's absolute paradise. I love the services but I will admit I appreciated them more when it was la prairie not sure why it changed ugh!!! The facials even after are fabulous as are the massages & manicures. I love the steam room it's absolutely gorgeous and the relaxation room is also very relaxing and simple yet just enough. I find my vists here oddly resorting for a spa day i think it's due to the facilities and how well they are maintained. It's a small spa but tranquil and I can't stop coming back!! read more

I came here for my anniversary to get a couples massage and it was absolutely amazing. When we arrived to our suite were given water, champagne (optional) and chocolate cover strawberries with "" happy anniversary " spelled out ooh a cookie. We were also allowed to soak in a perfect temperature bath together with the most perfect lighting and ambiance. Then at around the 5 mIn remaining mark they quietly knocked on the door to give us time to dry off and proceed to the massage tables. The beds were nice and warm and my masseuse who was named "Carol" was very kind and friendly. Let me Say she gave me one of the best massages I've ever had! Hands down. I give her a 15 on a 10 scale. I will definitely be back to see her i had a headache when I started and by then ens of it i waLked out of there feeling completely pain free and super relaxed. Rather your a guest or a local I highly recommend Carol. read more

I came to the Hotel Bel-Air Spa after my client had been raving about it and urging me to try it. So on a random Thursday I decided to treat myself after a long few months I've had personally. I called a day before and booked by phone. The receptionist seemed very nice and seemed to have given every detail for my arrival the next day (so I thought.) A debit or credit card is required before booking and they will charge if you cancel less than 24 hours before. Cool, no problem. So when I arrived everything seemed to be going good I took a black car and was dropped off at valet. It was quite a walk to the spa but still no problem. When I finally arrived to the spa, I checked in. Both receptionist were very nice. I had to fill out a short form with health history and then I was walked to the lockers. The first strange thing I noticed was there was no changing room. There was one rest room but since nobody else was back there with me (so I thought) I changed really fast into my robe and slippers out in the open... near lockers. That was very bizarre. I would have expected there to At least be 3-4 changing rooms I mean after all it is the BEL air hotel, darling. No. So after I changed and locked my handbag and cloths up I was introduced to my masseuse. I requested a male masseuse. And they paired me with a guy named Ishmael. He was phenomenal. My massage was heavenly. He asked me before we got started what I had issues with and he tailored a massage just for me. He ironed out every knot and kink, I felt like a noodle after my 60 min session with him. He was 5 star! So after the massage I had the option of using a sauna followed by tea and refreshments. When I went back to the public bathroom I went in the sauna and in comes a guy who I didn't even know was back there, this man stared at me and kept groping himself I don't know if he was trying to give me a signal but I ignored it. It was bizarre and I was so uncomfortable so after 5 mins I exited the sauna and left him in it alone. And took a shower. I would have loved more privacy and preferably one "creep free". Side bar I think this guy is a regular there because I over heard my masseuses saying "how have you been, it's nice to see you". Anyways that's a whole other can of worms that I do not have the energy for in this review. After putting back on my clothes I headed over to what they have called the "relaxation lounge". I was promised a glass of champagne by my masseuse, well he told me he had someone who would have it there waiting on me, but it wasn't . I had to re walk all the way back to the receptionist desk to ask for my glass. Also there were no plates and napkins already laid out so I had to also walk back to the desk and ask for that. Whoever was on relaxation lounge duty seemed to have not came in that day. I stayed in the lounge about 15 mins and I was ready to go. So here is the kicker and what really made me knock off stars aside from it not being dressing rooms. When I get ready to pay the receptionist goes "instead of your total being just the $275 (the cost of 60 min massage) I added gratuity here so we added a $55 tip". I was caught off guard. Ishmael was great and I had already planned to at-least tip him anywhere from $30-$40, but to be forced to tip a number was off putting not to mention the receptionist could have told me that small fact the day before when I was booking on the phone. I've never heard of that for a massage place, the only time gratuity is acceptable is for large groups at a dinner table, or for a club for bottle girls. I think she purposely did not tell me ahead of time. And it also makes me wonder if that was just specifically done to me or if it's done to everyone because it could easily have been a thing where I was singled out because I'm black. People seem to think that black people don't tip. But that is such a incorrect stereotype. I do plan to get to the bottom of that. So anyways it was annoying, not only that per law I could have refused to pay the gratuity and tipped what I wanted. So because I feel like I was put on the spot I gave an additional $28 to my masseuse making his total tip $83. Again I plan to follow up about that whole ordeal to see if it was discrimination. Hopefully it wasn't. Would I go back? Yes maybe once more with a friend and after that I probably wouldn't just off those two negative experiences i experienced. But if you go for massage, ask for Ishmael. He is beyond skilled at his craft. read more

I recently went to Hotel Bel Air Spa, upon entry of the grounds we were greeted by valet who was very pleasant, hotel receptionist who graciously gave directions to the spa. Once we arrived to the spa the front desk receptionist walked us over to the changing rooms & walked us to the relaxation room. PS it's very relaxing in the room! I had the pleasure of having a manicure, Victoria was great and made it a point to compliment and give suggestions for future visits. Overall, it was a great experience and will be returning soon... read more

Ambiance amazing , massage therapist was horrible with bad energy.... made a complaint while checking out and the and the girl working the desk laughed and made and excuse for her actions smh never again read more

My favorite spa in LA! We go about once a month. Everything has been wonderful from nails to massages to facials. The service is top notch, very personalized and detail focused. The environment is beautiful and provides a relaxing and calming space. The grounds are lush if you have a chance for a stroll before or after your service. We have been extremely impressed with Lissethe and Patty on the nail team, they give the best mani/pedi we have ever experienced. They also have a polish called dazzle dry that is a regular polish but last weeks (not gel but holds up the same or better). Also, they are very Covid safety conscious and are able to open the door in many of the treatment rooms. Pro tip: you can order from the room service menu to enjoy a snack or drink in the relaxation room between services. read more

We went for a couples massage + pedicures and Ismael was my massage therapist. I was blown away at how amazing the massage was -- he was absolutely amazing!! He did wonders and I felt like a brand new person Lisette the nail technician was so amazingly lovely as well Def recommend the spa !! read more

I called this spa in the morning to make arrangements for 3 for several services. They asked for time to find a few other service providers - no response to date. That was at 10:00 am and it's now 5:19. The manager, Nicole, who chose to answer rev phone on a speaker phone (unprofessional) had no record. This place has left a poor taste for a first experience. This is not the experience that one would expect for a place that seem to have had a good reputation. #unprofessional read more

What a disappointment. Let me first start off by saying I love Hotel Bel Air. I had my daugther's 100th day celebration at this hotel as well as her first birthday party here. Service and food is exceptional at the hotel and I expected just as much if not more at the spa. What a let down. When I got to the spa at 8:30am, (the spa opens at 8am), the spa was not up and running. I tried to use the steam sauna but the lights were out. The front desk suggested that I leave the door open and use the steam sauna so I don't trip, so I did, and then a floater comes in and says I should close the door because it was fogging up the vanity area. Are you serious? For my treatment, i booked the early bird special where you get the 90 minute massage for the price of 60 minutes. I really liked my therapist Suzanne, but unfortunately, La Prairie products did not jive with my face and left my face burning. We had to take everything off and I'm still peeling to this day. It's been 1.5 weeks since the facial. When it was time to pay, the front desk, said she'd give me 15% discount for all the "inconvenience" I had to go through. But seriously, just 15%?? Also, they erroneously charged me for a regular 90 minute massage, but I corrected her right away. When you book the early bird, you also get a drink of your choice before or after the treatment. I had to remind the front desk of this offer but I never got the drink even after waiting around 30 minutes after treatment. I think this spa needs a new spa manager. What a huge disappointment. read more

We had the most amazing experience at this spa!!! When we arrived at The Spa, Michelle was extremely helpful accommodating us. She was genuine and wanted to make sure our whole experience was perfect! We got the Bachelorette Bliss package for 5. One of our party members was arriving late straight from the airport and they made sure she was taken care of when she arrived as well as her luggage! Once we got into our robes and slippers, we were directed to the relaxation room where we can sit together for a bit. The snacks provided were great and delicious! Especially the Happy Day hot tea! With natural honey! The most amazing tea we had! After relaxing a bit 2 went off get a massage and the rest of us went to get Manicures! I have to say Patty, Lissethe, and Jojo were the most amazing girls everrrrrrrrr! We had a great time laughing with these 3 ladies! They did a fabulous job on our manicure! I'm coming back to this place because of those 3 ladies plus Michelle! After we were all done with manicures and massages we met back up at the relaxation room to enjoy some chocolate covered strawberries and champagne! This place is just the perfect size for a group of 5 girls coming for a bachelorette! I suggest this place to anyone! The price is not half bad either! And who knows, you might end up seeing someone famous! Thank you everyone that helped us out and made this experience extremely special!!! We will be back soon! read more

for yoga experience. the charge were 175.00 per person ( it was 2 of us) per hour, in busy GYM, , loud, no space, when we came in,( someone ells was lifting weights in same space as we end up doing yoga later).
