hotels with saunas in los angeles
Los Angeles approaches the sauna the way it approaches everything — as wellness, as ritual, occasionally as scene. That means a lot of infrared (the city's favourite), some genuinely lovely dry cedar rooms, and steam built into spas that treat heat as a serious course, not a footnote. The hotels below are the LA properties with saunas we'd send a friend to: poolside cabins, hillside spas, and a couple of downtown rooms that feel like a secret. We note whether the sauna is open to all guests or gated behind a spa fee, because in this town it's often the latter. As always, listings are unverified until each hotel confirms — worth a quick check if you're booking specifically to sweat.
