Spa Luce's waiting area offers plenty of peace and serenity

Hollywood, CA, has long enjoyed a reputation for being an epicenter of innovative design and creative vision. With the debut
of Spa Luce, a 6,400-square-foot luxury boutique beauty destination, you can chalk up another winner for the city.
A pierced dome ceiling and a reception desk crafted from a felled 300-year-old walnut tree dress up Spa Luce's foyer.

Situated in the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, a stone's throw away from the Kodak Theatre—home to the Academy Awards—Spa Luce's
interiors boast an evocative palette of textures, surfaces and tonal subtleties, including hand-chiseled Jerusalem stone,
smooth petrified wood, sleek teak wood surfaces and gently undulating sweeps of stucco walls, reminiscent of Santorini, Greece
or Capri, Italy. The result is a mood-enhancing ambiance for soothing 21st century souls.
Luxurious and relaxing treatments that are ideal for both the spa beginner and seasoned veteran further set Spa Luce apart.
Signature treatments include the Japan Ritual, a five-part massage treatment layering the therapeutic properties of flower
oils and fruit essences with rich minerals from the earth and sea; and the Hammam Ritual, where spa-goers undergo a five-step
process that includes an intense cleansing with Moroccan mint tea and silt and then a vigorous scrub with coffee, olive stones
and fresh lemons.
To be sure, the treatments and the space work in tandem, instantly transporting guests beyond the everyday fast-paced excitement
of one of the world's most famous cities and revitalizing their minds, bodies and spirits. —KELLEY DONAHUE
