The Beverly Wilshire’s sleek 8,000-square-foot spa stands out for its day facilities. There’s an aromatherapy-crystal steam room, a tranquility lounge, and “experience showers,” which use colored lights, scents, and different water pressures to create the sensation of a “Cool Mist,” an “Atlantic Storm,” or “Caribbean Rain.” A full range of massages, facials, body treatments and waxing are available as well.

At The Eliot Suite Hotel, guests can order room service, schedule reservations at the hotel’s James Beard award-winning restaurant, Clio, research attractions, restaurants, and bars, and even schedule turndown service — all via an in-room touch screen.
