    One of many hallways
    James A.

    A now CO-ED day spa in Koreatown, Spa LA is a large underground jjimjilbang with a bevy of different treatments and saunas. My wife and I visited on a weekday, with the service and sessions being good. Spa LA recently finished a large renovation/expansion resulting in the opening of a co-ed in early 2026. Previously, it was female only, with my wife/daughter coming for a mom/daughter spa day when we were still living in Santa Monica. This time, I wanted to treat my wife to a Simply Classic Body Scrub ($125 for one hour) and Mini Facial ($85 for 30 minutes), booking it on-line. They open at 9:00 am, so figured we could come a bit early for the appointments starting at 10:00. We took the train, and it was an easy walk from Normandie station on the Purple (D) Line. Once entering, the check-in desk is right in front. The attendant could be doing a tour, so need to wait until they come back. There are specials to reduce the price a bit and the knowledgeable front staff (Angela) helped us to apply what was applicable. The main one (follow them on Instagram) was to get 20% off a full facial for my wife, which also resulted in my entrance fee being reduced by half ($50 drops to $25, with wife fee being waived since she was having a treatment). The facial change required changing of the reservation times and esthetician availability, but it was no big deal (so must have good availability of staff for same day changes). You pay first with credit card, allowing a tip to be added later (though like most places, cash is preferred directly to the provider). We were both given locker keys that went around our wrists, and then Angela gave a tour of the underground facilities, focusing on the co-ed sections that I would use. Swimwear is mandatory for the co-ed sections, with the female section being exclusively no-swimwear (provided robes only, and au-naturelle in the spas). I was the only person (besides my wife) using the co-ed facilities during the 4 hours I was there. This meant 1). I could take pictures to post here 2). I could imagine the whole quiet place was mine, definitely making the $25 charge worth it for me. The spa closes at 9 pm, so one could spend the whole day if one want to. The male locker room was a typical set-up, with my locker containing slippers (so no need to bring your own), light robe, and towels. There is a large common area where they intend to put in a light snack bar in the future....for now, it is pretty barren. The centerpiece of the area is a foot-deep waterfall fountain, where you can lounge. I really liked the constant sound of moving water that it produced. There is a very large deep whirlpool and cold/ice water plunge pool (no thx). The steam sauna was fully prepped, with enough steam to make visibility non-existent...I could only last about 4 minutes at a time there. The dry sauna was pleasant, but not particularly hot, with the machine not producing much heat (the controls are out of the customer's hands). There are filtered water stations everywhere, private bathrooms which were nice, and cold water showers to rinse (before and after). Phones ARE allowed, with a decent private Wi-Fi (ask the attendant for the password, since cellular doesn't work down there). My wife went to the female section after checking out the co-ed area, and later told me the female-only area has a lot more facilities/treatments, including many different types of pools: akaline, citrus, mineral. As for the treatments, my wife later told me that both the esthetician (Michelle) and the masseuse (Helen) were very skilled, and took their job very seriously. My wife likes whole body scrubs in general, and knew what to expect. As for the full facial, it ended up being a bit too painful for her, so thinking if she does it again, a mini one would be more appropriate.

    Updated remodel version of Wilshire spa. They have a closed paid parking lot adjacent. Love the remodel look. They do a coed version now Definitely will return. So many relaxing rooms. There are 3 different pools to soak, steam room, and sauna. Many stone rooms to detox and take a nap too Many Instagramable spots here too Check their website for body treatments too

    Just got back from an amazing day at Spa LA! I'll admit, I was a little nervous when I heard they switched to a co-ed format, but no worries, there is still a women-only section. I arrived around 10 AM and it was pretty quiet, maybe six other people total. Staff were walking guests through the new co-ed area, and honestly, it's beautiful. I would come back just to hang out there. The co-ed section allows bathing suits, but the women-only area is still no-clothing. While I was there, I noticed staff constantly cleaning and checking temperatures, which I really appreciated. I got the Simply Sugar Scrub and it was amazing. I didn't catch the name of the woman who did mine, but she was so good, totally worth the money. They also have an $85 scrub-only package if you don't want a massage or hair wash. The only downside was a group of ladies talking loudly, but I did see a staff member ask them to lower their voices. Tip: If you're a bigger woman like me, you can ask for a larger robe!

    I loved the vibes of this spa! It was super relaxing. I have never been to a Korean spa so it was a bit of a culture shock. I got the Lavender Scrub and it came with a facial, scalp massage, body scrub, and regular massage. I almost fell asleep with how peaceful it was. My friends and I enjoyed all of the sauna rooms and baths. My favorite was the clay room I underestimated how deep it was. They offer free coffee, tea and water in the lobby. Additionally, they have an area to blow dry your hair and do makeup etc after enjoying the amenities. The only downside is that near the end of our visit we noticed roaches in the entrance to the saunas. :((((

    his spa is quite nice! It's in K-Town and even though I took Uber, I noticed there was a parking structure nearby. It was a confusing to get to at first, the address routed me to the Bank of America on Wilshire which was incorrect, once I walked around the block - I found out where it was. I wish there were more detailed instructions on the website on how to get there. Check in was easy, got my own locker and was given instructions on where to go downstairs. It is on the bottom floor, so no windows. The service was amazing! I booked the Aphrodite with Wendy. I would come back just for that! I also really liked the mushroom tea that was provided in the sitting area. I didn't get a chance to try out all the rooms but was thankful they marked each room by order number. I haven't gone to many spas in LA so don't really have much to compare to but overall it was a pleasant experience!

    Would you like to go to heaven, become a baby seal, and leave with a glow all in one afternoon? I managed to snag an appointment on the weekend and went by myself bc a Korean body scrub is a solo adventure unless that's a bucket list item with your friends. Do not do this unless you're comfortable being in your birthday suit in the pool area or if you aren't wearing your glasses. I didn't have my glasses on most of the time so that made this even easier. You get a key (shower, towels, and slippers), hop in the shower, and then you have the option of the steam or sauna, jacuzzi of varying degrees and benefits, and the all the detox zones. Follow the first timer guide depending on your chosen treatments and try their homemade reishi tea, I would dilute it if you're not a tea drinker. Turn off your phone and turn it back on if you get the SOS signal. There's a co-ed area but I did not go into that side. Huge thank you to Angela and Nadia for helping me at the front desk and on the phone, Yoona is an absolutely angel who got me to the right spots whenever I got lost, and thank you to Helen and Michelle who got me so relaxed that I spent most of my time asleep.

    I loved this spa! The 3 soaking pools were all different and provided unique benefits. The sauna and steam room were a little small, but did the job. I loved the other rooms that they had though. Especially the one with the clay balls. They have showers to clean up with after, and the amenities you would expect from a spa.

    ASK FOR JJ! I came…read morehere to redeem my fragile self after my last horrific massage--which we've all agreed was a learning experience. I had just landed in LA after a six-hour flight. Snow wrecked the team's plans, my bones were screaming, and my inner voice said: Koreatown. Massage. Now. The very friendly girl at the Moxy front desk recommended Silver Lake Spa and casually dropped the words "mid-week special." $55 for one hour. Sign. Me. Up. No questions asked. Just one boundary: if I get poked, I'm out. The place is modest and unassuming. JJ was my therapist. Between my moaning, grunting, and aggressively pointing at my neck and shoulders (note to self: don't lift weights the day before a six-hour flight), we agreed on a relaxing Thai/Swedish combo. Friends... JJ knew exactly what she was doing. She found knots in my skull. My actual skull. Then proceeded to perform some kind of kung-fu Thai magic where I felt what used to be my brain turn back into mush--in the best way. She moved to my shoulders and back, mixing deep Thai stretches with light kneading, locating muscle kinks like five-carat diamonds and polishing them until they no longer existed. At one point I'm fairly certain I was purring. HR would not approve. Then came the oil and relaxation portion. Pure bliss. She was gentle, focused, and so intentional that I may or may not have teared up slightly. One hour was simply not enough. I could've moved in. If you live in LA--go see JJ. If you're visiting--go see JJ. It was a glorious hour, and I'm still wiping the drool off my face. This girl is going straight to bed. But I will find JJ again. Just don't tell HR.

Afterward, my partner mentioned he received hot stones and additional services that I did not receive, even though we both booked the same Thai massage. My massage was average, while my partner said his was great. I also didn't feel like the space was the cleanest, but for the price, it was acceptable. My main concern is that we booked the same service but had very different experiences and treatments. I believe the service should be consistent when booking the same massage.
