Best Korean spa I've been to in LA. Everything was very clean and well maintained -- clay room,…read moresalt room, jacuzzis, steam and dry rooms were all spotless. The atmosphere was calm and respectful, and the staff was wonderful. Helen did my scrub and did an excellent job (on the harsher side, which I loved). The gentleman at the front desk was very polite and friendly. I immediately recommended this place to my group chat and will definitely be back. The only thing missing is food options -- hope they add some in the future.

Came on a weekday morning which is much quieter and rooms/jacuzzis are smaller in comparison to…read moresome of the other Korean spas I've been to (i.e. IrvineSpa, KSpa in Buena Park). This is great if you want it quiet. Not a place you come with a bunch of friends that want to socialize. $3 validated parking for the Central Plaza parking garage right across from it. Came when they had 50% off admission which was $25 but seemed overpriced if you are a guy. Pros: -Unlimited Reishi mushroom tea. They also have water and coffee everywhere. -Large sized towel, robe, slippers in the locker. -3 jacuzzis (Himalayan salt, alkaline, citrus) , wet sauna (love that it's like a fog/mist and not shower sprayers!), dry sauna, and 3 specialized rooms (Infrared, salt, and mud room w small heated balls which was my favorite). All was great, but wish there was a cold pool in the women's area too. Cons/Room for improvement: -Though they now have a clothed, co-ed section, it is underwhelming. -The jacuzzi was warm, not hot. -There was a waterfall pool but was very shallow and also just warm. -Cold Plunge is a 5 ft. deep pool that had a rickety ladder to get in/out of. It would've been nice if it had a seat. -The wet and dry saunas were off and took a while to turn on, but never got hot. My guy friend gave feedback on the men's locker room: -no restroom inside -no sinks inside - no sit down showers which the women's side has If I were a guy, I wouldn't come just for the spa as it just feels like a side amenity. And definitely expensive even at $25.

I was in town and wanted to go to the Korean spa. I had good memories of going to Olympic some…read moreyears ago. This is a women-only Korean spa and bathhouse. My friend and I booked the Goddess package, which is the most complete. You arrive early to soak in the hot tubs (which were not as hot as my last review indicated), and then are taken back to the wet massage area. After a very thorough scrub and wash, you are massaged, and you also have your hair washed, and they do an anti-aging face mask. It was about $220, which is a little more expensive than I remember, but that's about an hour and forty-five minutes of service. I did feel like if I went back, I'd probably try one of the shorter services. You don't have to have cash for a tip, because they put the tip on your bill, and you can pay with your credit card. I didn't hang out in any of the saunas, just in the mood for a hot tub. They did have a nice, tranquil outside area as well. Also, they had a cafe that had some snacks and water, and also a sign saying you can order food. I didn't get the name of the person who did my service, but she was great! She was very friendly.

If you loved Olympic spa in the past because it was a calm, authentic, reasonably priced place to…read moresoak in not only amazing pools and saunas but also in Korean culture, join the club. Olympic used to have mugwort soak, places to scrub yourself and to get to know the community. They had mats readily available to lie in the heated floor and the best broccoli dish at the restaurant. And they were $30 foot a simple soak. You learned to whisper, shower before dipping, and to put up long hair while getting to know about Korean bathing culture. It was a ritual experience. No more mugwort, scrubbing stools, or mats, or restaurant. Now it's $60 to go to a place with seemingly Caucasian women's silhouettes on all the literature, Costco granola bars and plastic wrapped fruit. There was obviously a strategy in changing the business model to cater to rich white ladies. I can't be mad at them for wanting to make a buck. But now it's less homey Korean spa and more whitewashed and sterile. Again, you do you. It was just a big change in vibe and cost. The new ice room and patio are fantastic. They kept the buckwheat tea. It's still sparkling clean. But for the new price, the trade off is not worth it. I'll go to another K spa that enriches my body, and desire to be a student and supporter of the Korean community.

I have been to many Korean spas and I must say Hugh Spa was by far the best massage and body scrub…read moreexperience I've ever had. My masseuse was amazing. You could tell she was very thoughtful with her touch and technique throughout the entire session. She was quiet, professional, and gave the perfect amount of pressure during both the massage and scrub, especially on the pressure points. Everything flowed so smoothly and felt incredibly relaxing. My 1.5 hour massage honestly felt like 2 hours in the best way possible because I was so relaxed and immersed in the experience. My skin felt incredibly soft and rejuvenated afterward. I especially loved the hot honey milk she poured and massaged into my body. It felt absolutely amazing and made the experience feel extra luxurious and calming. Although Hugh Spa is on the smaller side, it still has enough amenities to enjoy and unwind. The only thing I wish they had was an ice bath, but they do have an ice room which definitely helps. Also, the front staff was very sweet, welcoming, and kind from the moment I walked in, which made the experience even better. Thank you Hugh Spa for finally making me believe in massages again. I will definitely be back!

I recently went to Hugh Spa and got the 30-minute Korean body scrub and 60-minute massage, and…read morehonestly it was one of the best treatments I've ever had and I get massages pretty regularly. The woman doing my treatment (unfortunately didn't catch her name) was amazing and the overall experience was incredible. Before my scrub, I spent about 30 minutes in the steam sauna, which I'd definitely recommend because it helps prep your skin and gives you the best results from the scrub. The body scrub itself was definitely an experience. If it's your first time, don't go in expecting it to be super relaxing because it's pretty intense and certain parts can feel rougher than others. But the results are absolutely worth it. My skin has honestly never felt so smooth and soft. All of the dry, dead skin was completely gone afterward and my skin felt unbelievably clean, hydrated, and refreshed. The spa itself is a little smaller than some of the other Korean spas I've been to, but it was still very clean, nice, and had all the essentials like the sauna, Himalayan salt room, and other relaxation rooms. Spa entry is included with your treatment purchase, and you could honestly spend the whole day there if you wanted to. There's also a traditional Korean kitchen inside that had really good food. Overall such a fun experience and definitely worth trying at least once.

It was actually my second time here, though it had been a few years since I came last. I'm happy to report I loved it just as much the second time! The service included: - A soak in a copper tub, complete with a private room, rose petals strewn everywhere, candles, a glass of champagne and a cupcake - A full body scrub, personal shower and body melt - A 60-minute massage, customized to you with essentials oils and pressure I loved my experience from start to finish! The spa is also well appointed with plenty of towels, secure lockers in the locker room, and a lounge with various flavored waters, teas, and comfy lounge chairs. The one issue here is parking -- there are only 4 spots in front which are taken quickly and are hard to get in and out of. I ubered so I wouldn't have to deal with that. If you're looking for a spa with excellent treatments and the chance to feel fully pampered, I definitely recommend checking out Larchmont Sanctuary Spa!

INCREDIBLE!!! Wow! I also loved the skin analysis -- this was my 2nd time so they were able to compare which was nice. She was thorough in her analysis, just like the first time I had been. The room was relaxing and I loved the warm foot bath. Highly recommend -- especially with Maria! (And don't forget to enjoy the tea at the end)

Visited Wi Spa in LA and it truly exceeded my expectations…read more When I first arrived, the front desk was very crowded, which felt a bit overwhelming at first. However, an employee named Minwoo stepped in to help, and he really stood out. He seemed like a manager, not necessarily by title, but because he was noticeably more professional and kind than the other front desk staff. He carefully went over each of my reserved services and explained how to prepare and where to go in a very clear and easy-to-understand way. It made the whole experience much smoother, especially for a first-time visit. After using the sauna, I spent time in the co-ed jimjilbang area, which had a relaxing and authentic atmosphere. I also received a skincare treatment and an acupressure service, and both were very satisfying. Later, I had a meal at the restaurant with friends, and we went up to the rooftop to get some fresh air. The patio area was nicely set up, and the cool breeze made it a perfect place to relax and unwind. Overall, it was a very solid experience, and I would definitely come back, just maybe during a less busy time.

The moment you walk in,…read moreit feels like you've stepped out of the chaos of the city and into a completely different world. I love how many different sauna rooms they have--each one has its own vibe, from super hot and detoxifying to calm and relaxing. It's easy to spend hours just rotating between them, soaking, and cooling off without ever getting bored. The hot baths are especially amazing after a long day. Everything is kept really clean, and the space feels well taken care of, which makes a huge difference when you're trying to relax. The vibe is lowkey and peaceful, not pretentious at all. Also, don't skip the food. Eating Korean comfort food in a robe after sweating it out just hits different. Shoutout to Minu as well--super kind and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Perfect spot for a solo reset day or even a chill hang with friends. I always leave feeling refreshed, lighter, and way less stressed. Definitely worth it.

Tomoko Spa is located on a very busy street, but you forget all that as soon as you step inside. They do a really great job of creating a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The experience starts with a 15 min foot soak/massage, and that already was divine. The masseuse puts the perfect amount of pressure, and that combined with the warm water, almost put me to sleep, haha. For the body massage part, the masseuse asks you what parts you want focused on and how much pressure you would like. They are also really good at checking in at various parts of the massage to make sure you are completely satisfied. I really appreciated how thorough they are with the massage and also how proactive they are in making sure you are enjoying the experience. At the end of the massage, we were given hand-whisked matcha tea to drink, and they also provided us jelly, a handwritten note, and a rose to celebrate our anniversary :) We had such a lovely experience, and I cannot recommend this place enough, whether to celebrate a special occasion, or just to treat yourself! ** If you book a couple's massage, they provide complimentary parking in the lot next to the spa, otherwise there's paid street parking or parking garages available nearby
