Located on Grand Avenue directly across the street from the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Conrad Los Angeles is an elegant modern hotel in downtown Los Angeles that was heralded by the vision of legendary architect Frank Gehry. In addition to a 16,000-square-foot rooftop terrace with a private pool deck, guests can enjoy dramatic views of DTLA from numerous outdoor patios and floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a selection of fine dining options including San Laurel, a signature dining experience from Chef José Andrés.

The hotel is also home to Conrad Spa, an urban sanctuary that features a boundary-free wellness concept to its offerings and provides guests with a completely curated and personalized experience. The treatment menu includes a wide variety of therapeutic massages, advanced skincare services, and an innovative selection of high-tech wellness therapies and performance tools delivered in private recovery cabins.

LA Spa Guide: The Best Los Angeles Spas

We interviewed Alina Medyanikova, Director of Spa & Wellness at Conrad Spa Los Angeles, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: At Conrad Spa Los Angeles, both our hotel guests and LA locals love the infusion of high-tech wellness technologies into our traditional spa treatments. We’ve applied a boundary-free wellness concept to our offerings providing spa visitors with a completely curated and personalized experience. Whether they want to experience a treatment featuring a cult-favorite brand, relax in one of our recovery cabins or experience an innovative treatment, we’re able to cater to all of our spa guests’ needs.

Key Features: Our 7,000-square-foot spa features seven treatment rooms and includes a curated wellness bar, enlightenment lounge, recovery cabins dry saunas and private infrared sauna. Our treatment menu includes personalized, Ayurvedic and innovative treatments, and we even have a non-touch treatment with the Gharieni Welnamis wave table for intense body and muscle relaxation. Our spa amenities truly complement our wellness offerings at the hotel including our rooftop pool deck, fitness center, and of course, the spirit-free offerings available at our José Andrés Group food and beverage outlets.

Insider’s Tip: Most of our facials feature a comprehensive facial massage to promote circulation and muscle sculpting. All of our providers (both estheticians and massage therapists) not only have years and years of experience and are highly-requested but they also undergo extensive trainings to ensure we offer the latest techniques and services available. Additionally and perfect for locals visiting our spa, we recently debuted a spa recycling program. Here, guests can return any used and emptied beauty product container from shampoos to creams to serums and receive a $1 credit per item to use toward our luxury spa collection featuring products like Angela Caglia and Augustinus Bader.

Bonus: Since our boundary-free wellness concept infuses various wellness technologies into spa treatments and experiences, we’ve built upon this concept by offering complementary Core Meditation Trainer Devices in our Enlightenment Lounge for guests to further enhance their wellness journey. These devices guide them through a meditation and breathwork sessions with biofeedback.  

Snacks Served: Our Conrad Los Angeles culinary team makes gourmet popcorn and gluten-free and vegan savory tomato rosemary biscuits daily for our spa guests. We also offer Qi whole flower teas. Guests also leave with a customized tea that they blend themselves at our Tea Blending Bar.

Splurge Treatment: One of my favorite packages is the 3+ hour Recover Package that starts out with an Infrared Sauna to promote detoxification followed by our exclusive Body Planing exfoliating treatment and Lymphatic Massage. The treatment concludes with a Couture Facial treatment with bespoke serums blended just for the guest. It truly is the ultimate spa day!

Unique Treatment: With our boundary-free wellness concept, we offer a variety of unique treatments that focus on hyper-personalization with the newest and latest technologies on the market. One that stands out and is currently offered only at Conrad Los Angeles Spa is the Body Plane exfoliating treatment by Esker. It features Esker’s cult-favorite body plane tool inspired by the Greek and Roman bathhouses. It exfoliates and promotes lymphatic drainage as the therapist uses long, invigorating strokes working the energy up to the heart center. The steam, aroma mist and warmed detoxifying body oil make this a luxurious and ultra-relaxing treatment.

Insider’s Favorite: Because I’m always on the go, I absolutely love our transformative recovery cabins combined with the Normatec Compression therapy, Higherdose Infrared Bio Mat & LED mask, and a quick NuCalm meditation session. The recovery cabin with the NuCalm meditation session relaxes my mind, the compression therapy revitalizes my legs and feet after a long day and LED gives me a nice glow. It’s an absolute must for those that are constantly on the go and perfect for the business traveler who needs a quick pick me up!
