Beverly Hot Springs

Been Here?

When downtown Los Angeles has gotten the best of you, a 10-minute drive toward Koreatown transports you to a world where the gurgle of hot springs replaces the roar of the crowd. In this most unlikely setting, crystal-clear spring water surges from a natural artesian well 2200 feet below Los Angeles. You’ve arrived at Beverly Hot Springs (map), the only natural mineral thermal spa in Los Angeles, where 100% pure alkaline mineral waters surge into the pools.

The springs date from the turn of the century, when prospectors drilling for oil struck the mineral waters. In 1931, the springs were rediscovered and the entrepreneurs started selling drinking water for ten cents a gallon. Today the crystal-clear waters continue to offer a safe haven for the weary right in the midst of a city on overload.

The luxury spa provides separate facilities for men and women, with soothing and sparkling hot and cold pools, steam and dry herbal saunas, shower rooms, shiatsu massage and body care treatments. Start by soaking in the hot pool of mineral waters, followed by the cold pool, then hot, then cold, then sauna, the whole culminated with a soothing massage or perhaps a Collagen Velvet Mask. The drawing card is more the refreshment of clean, sparkling alkaline mineral waters than fancy high-end skin care; it is truly a break from Los Angeles. The manmade rock waterfall, Oriental flower arrangements, soft chimes, and classical music all speak serenity.

If the idea of venturing back into all that is Los Angeles seems too abrupt for your newly soothed mind and body, stops at the spa’s beauty salon or Korean restaurant accord the perfect transition. But when you depart, the real comfort comes in knowing that whenever the whirl of Los Angeles wrings you out, the waters are only minutes away.
