LeMazing!

by violet07

I absolutely love the sleek, modern and very earthy design of the spa-such a refreshing change from the average airy day spa. I was greeted by a friendly front desk girl who showed me back to the locker rooms. They are small, but very well-appointed and elegant. The foot soak and tea service were a fantastic way to start off my service-very relaxing! The service rooms are beautiful and the beds are soooo comfy! My massage was extremely good. I chose the So You and the therapist did a fantastic blend of hot stones with deep tissue and I don't know what else-I was too relaxed to remember what they said! But they only charged one flat price for the blend and I felt that my massage was customized to my issues, which is rare in Los Angeles. Overall a really lovely experience.

  • Pros: knowledgable staff, beautiful decor, comfy beds
  • Cons: smallish

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!

by roleilei

This spa (and the service provided therein) was PROFOUNDLY BAD. You'd have a more fun-filled and relaxing experience sitting in the Brookstone massage chair at your local mall.

Sad, but unfortunately true.

  • Pros: The only good thing is that I learned never to go back to this black hole of a spa again.
  • Cons: I wasted 1.25 hours of my life and 150 of my dollars at this establishment. A con indeed.

Le Spa is THE SPA!!!

by zuga5000

I have a stressful job and was looking for a place to unwind. Most of the spas in LA are nice but are all vanilla. Everything is the same. I pretty much thought that I would get the same experience that I received from other places?WOW was I wrong. I have never had a spa experience that was even close to this nice. From A-Z they have you covered. If you are looking for a great spa experience you cannot go wrong with Le Spa?I highly recommend.

Spa Heaven!

by ricsc

I am not a big fan of Spa's. They are usually overpriced and being a "male from Mars" I don't really get off on somebody rubbing my feet. After a long days "jet lag" travel I checked into the Sofitel and my wife talked me into going to the LeSpa. Bless her heart! First I had my feet soaked and enjoyed a cup of tea. Then a fantastic massage that got all of the knots out of my spine. I didn't want to leave. I could care less about the price all I wanted was to stay in the Spa and never go back to our room. When you get there check out the shower. I am 6'5" and I never get a real shower. This thing is like being in a rainstorm. A fantastic experience not to be missed. I couldn't rate this place any higher. It is a real treat that I will make a destination stop from now on!

  • Pros: A total sensory experience
  • Cons: Hard to find. They need a larger sign
