I live for the sauna and ice plunge combo. It’s my favorite way to de-stress. City Spa is my fave - they have the hottest rock sauna in LA and they are coed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. When I want something more serene, I go to Olympic in Ktown. Their steam room is cut with mugwort and their deep sea facial will make you look five years younger.

Maybe it’s because one time I was lucky enough to live in a house with a sauna, or as a rowdy teenager I spent after-hours on weekends at London’s gay bathhouses, but, truly, still, at least once a week I need to decompress in a spa. When I lived in the Bay Area, I’d go to the Kabuki or the Russian Banya, and sit in silence and sweat. In L.A. I’ll nip down to Koreatown. Even the seedy spas are fab. I just want to exfoliate. Pls send spa tips 🙏🏼

idk if u can call it a hobby but going to the spa and sitting in a hot room sweating, reading, thinking, drifting in and out of sleep, really does wonders for your mind 🌀 the spa is the perfect place to reflect or to not think at all :-)

I had the pleasure of experiencing Wi Spa for the first time this past Sunday, and all I can say is every penny spent is worth it. $30 for full access to 6 different saunas, 3 baths, showers, a restaurant (with decent food and reasonable prices) and a "sleeping room" with mats, pillows and blankets on a heated floor. I went with a couple of friends after a trip to the beach. We arrived sandy and ready for a bath at 9:30 pm, took showers, had ramen and smoothies at the restaurant, went back downstairs for hours of soaking heating and cooling our bodies at various lengths of time. We didn’t leave until 1:30 am. This place is an institution that should should be celebrated. Can't wait to come back!
