Spa Palace

Spa Palace sits on S Union Ave in the Westlake section of Los Angeles, a neighborhood known for its cluster of Korean-style bathhouses. The draw here isn't a single pool but a circuit of themed rooms: a Himalayan salt room, a gold room, a Loess soil room, an Elvan stone room, a forest room and an ice room, with a waterfall feature and a garden area rounding out the grounds.

Beyond the heat rooms, the spa runs a standard day-spa menu of body treatments, massage and facials, booked as individual services rather than sold as a fixed day-pass package. Reservations are required, either online or by calling the spa directly, so this isn't a walk-in soak-and-go operation.

It's classified as family friendly rather than adults-only, which sets it apart from some of the stricter Korean spas in the area. Pricing lands in the moderate tier for the Los Angeles market. The only published hours show the spa open around the clock on Sundays; hours for the rest of the week aren't listed, so it's worth confirming the current weekday schedule before planning a visit.

For anyone exploring Westlake's bathhouse scene, Spa Palace's mix of mineral and material-themed rooms—salt, gold, soil, stone—gives it a slightly different character from the typical jjimjilbang layout, even as the core format of saunas plus bookable treatments stays familiar.
