Amid the touristy hustle and bustle of downtown Hollywood, the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel offers a respite of calm, cool, and good value. Spa Luce's seven treatment rooms are spacious, with their own large showers in case you'd like a private pre- or post-treatment cleansing. It's best to schedule a moisturizing deep-tissue massage late in the day, however, to let the delicately scented lotion stay on overnight to deeply penetrate skin. Facials use either Somme Institute's regimens or Sonya Dakar's homeopathic products. Local residents—or guests who identify themselves as such—get 15 percent discounts on their treatments. Important: Finding a spot in the byzantine Hollywood and Highland Center can be time-consuming, so allow 20 minutes for parking.
