Guerlain Wellness Spa at Regent Santa Monica Beach is like a temple to the Parisian brand, which has been making perfumes, cosmetics and skin care since 1828. It looks more like a chic Beverly Hills boutique than a spa shop with white stone tables and gold shelves showcasing museum-like displays of Guerlain products and fresh orchids. But there’s more on offer than artfully made glass perfume bottles — the 10,000-square-foot facility is Guerlain’s first spa on the West Coast. The 12-treatment-room spa provides massages, body treatments, facials, makeup applications and consultations for customized skincare and fragrances.
And Guerlain adds its touch to all parts of the spa experience, from check-in, where you receive a hot towel scented with the fresh-smelling Eau de Coton, to the white terrycloth robes embroidered with a large golden bee (the brand’s emblem), to the Eau Impériale shampoo, conditioner and shower gel tucked into the white marble showers in the locker room.
