Beverly Hot Springs
Did you know that the densely populated center of Los Angeles is home to a natural hot spring from Southern California? In Koreatown, halfway between Downtown Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, are the Beverly Hot Springs. The spring's alkaline water reaches 95 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit and is high in sodium bicarbonate, which was discovered during oil drilling in the early 20th century (35-41 degrees Celsius). The water contains a variety of minerals and chemicals, but one of them—sodium bicarbonate—is also included in antacids, which is why it has long been used for its therapeutic benefits.
Drive to adjacent Hearst Castle, William Randolph Hearst's enormous mountainside mansion for a luxurious getaway. The day spa opened in the 1980s and was constructed on top of the spring. There include a dry sauna, eucalyptus-infused steam room, cold plunge pool, and natural hot springs pool. Beverly Hot Springs provides a variety of spa and massage services in addition to its waters. Choose the heated bamboo sticks that are used in the bamboo fusion massage, which will help you relax.
Weekday day visitors can visit the spa. You must reserve a service (massage or facial) in order to enter on the weekends. The springs, pools, steam room, and sauna each offer a separate space for men and women. In some regions, nudity is not required.
