We chatted with Sheneka Clark, Spa Manager at Sunset Marquis Spa, to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.
Why You’ll Love It: The Sunset Marquis Hotel, Villas, and Spa span across 3.5 acres featuring one of the most celebrated gardens and ambiance that Southern California has to offer. Most of our guests work throughout the entertainment industry and they truly cherish the privacy the setting allows, as well as the thoughtful treatments that speak directly to their lifestyle.
Key Features: In addition to the tranquil setting the spa provides, from the aqua and opal Bisazza tiles to the private showers, each guest receives a signature welcome amenity, five-star robes, and slippers (Cardi B loved hers so much she wore it out shopping).
Insider’s Tip: In addition to the spa, the Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas offers an array of complimentary activities to make it a full day. From the use of one of our private pools as well as our restaurant Cavatina, which offers an array of vegan, vegetarian, and California fare. For the fully committed, we also recommend an overnight stay in one of our coveted villas.
Snacks Served: We offer full access to our menu from our restaurant Cavatina, which is located steps away from the Spa. And for guests who like to keep it lighter, we offer wellness-inspired, small-bite fare like acai bowls, fresh sliced fruit, and fitness shakes.
Bonus: Upon arrival, each guest receives a signature Privai Welcome Ritual. This aromatherapy-infused ritual sets a transformational tone for the spa visit. We also offer champagne as well as French Bloom, a non-alcoholic champagne, for all our guests.
Splurge Treatment: The “Stairway to Heaven” treatment. Our Dreamscape Serenity ritual draws inspiration from the tranquil oasis of the hotel’s lush gardens. This treatment promotes deep and peaceful sleep through a full-body cocoon and massage. Guests luxuriate in decadent pillows and linens while parasympathetic massage techniques and soothing essential oils lull the client into serenity.
Weighted blankets provide comforting pressure akin to a loving embrace. The ritual concludes with an Ultra Rich Body Butter foot massage, using rose quartz (the stone of love) to ensure the client drifts into a blissful sleep.
Unique treatment: Our Sound & Soul Harmonization ritual pays homage to the creative energy of this iconic hotel. Rose quartz, the stone of love, reduces inflammation and promotes lymphatic drainage. The client enjoys a silk-infused full-body exfoliation and Aqua Gel Masque wrapped in the warmth of fine linen. A customized pressure massage releases stress and pain, leaving the client feeling reconnected and inspired. It is a sublime experience designed to reawaken love for oneself.
Insider’s Favorite: The client experiences the ultimate in relaxation with our Smooth as Tennessee Whiskey Body Treatment. This pampering body treatment includes a detoxifying dry body brush exfoliation, hydrating body masque, and an antioxidant-rich face, neck, and shoulder massage. The client’s skin feels more refreshed and hydrated than ever before.
Featured Products: The Sunset Marquis Hotel was started by George Rosenthal in the 1960s and is now run by his son Mark, co-owner of the hotel. It was important to the Rosenthals to continue in the spirit of family-owned businesses, which is why we chose to feature family-owned companies Natura Bisse and female-founded Privai in our product offerings at the Spa. We also carry Botanika Life and Vie Healing products.
