What is the waiting area like at The Peninsula Beverly Hills Spa?
There is no waiting area in The Peninsula Beverly Hills Spa per se; but the relaxation area is incredibly inviting. When you check in you're immediately escorted to the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star spa's locker room and to a locker, where you'll place your belonging and change into your robe and slippers. Here, in the locker room, you can relax and read magazines or lounge in the Eucalyptus steam room. Or choose to venture back out into the lobby, where a staff member will escort you to the relaxation area, just around the corner that is draped off from the. Here, you'll find plenty of magazines and newspapers to read, tea and fruit-infused water to keep you hydrated and raw almonds and fruit to keep you satiated.
This quiet and relaxing room is decorated in blue, green and cream hues and features lounge chairs and a more secluded bench that is draped off so if you and a friend want more privacy, you can crawl into this space, cover yourself with a blanket and prop your legs up on an ottoman. You'll wait here before your treatment and can also unwind and rehydrate here afterwards. When you return, your therapist will most likely offer you some tea and a chocolate-covered fortune cookie — take them up on it — it's a great ending to a relaxing treatment.
