Ask Susie: Late Night Spas

QUESTION:

I’m trying to find a spa that is open all night, not just ‘til late evening.  Any ideas?

ANSWER:

If you live in Los Angeles or New York you are in luck.  New York has the popular Juvenex Spa, which I have enjoyed (although only during the daytime). The jade igloo, Japanese style soaking tubs with additives like Sake and Ginseng, and spa treatments are available 24/7.  In LA, you can choose between two spas: the Grand Spa or the Wilshire Spa.  The Grand Spa’s amenities include myriad spa facilities in addition to Karaoke.  Wilshire has a mineral salt room, a charcoal room, and a pure onyx room.  Both spas have beauty salons and restaurants and are open around the clock.

While the concept of “24/7 spa-ing” is relatively new, I wouldn’t be surprised if it begins to spread.  I remember when the 24 Hour Fitness chain started in the early 80’s.  Everyone thought it was a bit crazy, yet the company has over 400 clubs nationwide today!  Although these hours of operation are still a novelty for spa-goers (and usually available only in areas where people are living a round-the-clock lifestyle), it’s a great option for people who either work late night shifts or need a place to “detox” after a long night out.
