By Sheryll Alexander

For some major mind and wallet stress relief, try the brand new The Ritz-Carlton Spa at The Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles. Located at downtown LA’s super hip L.A. LIVE entertainment venue, the Ritz LA’s spa is now offering deep discounts on select spa treatments when booked midweek (Monday through Thursday).

Massage, Facial & Mani-Pedi Deals
The 50-minute “Swedish massage,” which eases the mind and alleviates muscle tension, costs $99. The “cleansing facial” is a traditional European-style facials to cleanse, tone and hydrate the skin (also $99 for 50 minutes). Or, how about an “express mani/pedi” that lasts an hour for just $75.

The 8,000 sq. ft. spa, which is located on the second floor of the hotel, is a sleek and sophisticated environment. The luxurious mani-pedi room, for example, is decorated like a Queen’s palace with golden chairs, marble floors and floor-to-ceiling silk drapes.Central to the Spa experience are treatments featuring products from premium lines such as Eminence, Carita and Skinceuticals.

Guests are also invited to enjoy the spa’s skyline-view fitness center, rooftop pool and whirlpool, which features some of the best city vistas. Spa guests also get two hours complimentary parking. (There is a $10 charge for each hour thereafter.)

Please mention “Midweek Pricing” at the time of booking. To make an appointment, please call The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Los Angeles at (213) 763-4400.


The Amazing Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles
The Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles at L.A. LIVE features 123 well-appointed guestrooms, including 13 suites and one 3,000 square-foot The Ritz-Carlton Suite.

In addition, the hotel is home to WP24, which is the latest restaurant concept by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, and The Gallery Collection, more than 100,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space. 

Guests of The Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles enjoy some of the best views in Los Angeles from virtually any part of the hotel, including the 3,400 sq. ft. signature Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge and the exclusive, private rooftop pool and bar on the 26th floor. 

The Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles shares the distinctive, 54-story tower with sister hotel The JW Marriott Hotel Los Angeles at L.A. LIVE and The Ritz-Carlton Residences at L.A. LIVE. Steps away from STAPLES Center, Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE, The GRAMMY Museum and an array of restaurants, venues and nightspots, The Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles is now at the center of one of the most exciting parts of the city.
