About 40 minutes from downtown Los Angeles (traffic permitting), is a getaway that has no equal when it comes to convenience of location and serenity.
This Hotel/Wellness Center is located in Westlake Village and once you enter its beautiful confines, you won’t want to leave. The staff, a lovely group of warm and welcoming people, makes you feel relaxed from the minute you cross the threshold. The building itself, with wide corridors and soft music, makes you feel you are in an almost Zen ambiance. As you look out and past the warm lobby lounge, through the windows you can see beautiful tall trees, flowers and waterfalls. What a perfect place to decompress after a hard week at the office (or during the week for that matter).
Settle into your nicely decorated and beautifully appointed room, get unpacked, and explore the property. Let the art work in the beautiful corridors make you feel that the outside world has been left behind. Walk to the Wellness Center, see the teaching kitchen where healthy and delicious cooking is demonstrated, take a walk through the large and well equipped Gym, located right next to the indoor covered swimming pool, check out the Spa, and when you do, you will never want to leave.
The Spa’s beauty defies description. Once you have seen it, you will know the true meaning of serenity. Naturally, all kinds of services are available at the Spa, and when you have finished your desired treatment you can relax and nourish your mind in the wonder of the Spa’s Tranquility Lounge.
Walk through the Spa until you reach the beautiful outdoor Pool and Cabanas. This is an adults only pool, a place for you to relax, swim, and take the sun. And when you have finished sunning, walk out into the gardens; enjoy the flowers and a hot house full of growing plants that will make your eyes dance in delight. Stop and listen to the waterfalls and the sounds of nature.
Getting hungry, need a libation? The Bar is wonderful and adjoining it is a room with pool tables and often music, it simply invites you to have fun.
Food is served in the bar if you feel like snacking. There is also breakfast and lunch service in the lovely lobby lounge, a quiet retreat in its own right. Want a wonderful dinner? Try Hamptons (Continental Cuisine) overlooking the garden, or the exciting Onyx, with its superb Asian inspired cuisine.
This is a treat to the mind and body, a hotel which will give you sensory joy and pamper your wants.
We mentioned the wonderful staff. They are always there for you, always able to assist you and always showing, by their actions, that they love being at this hotel and love working with and helping guests. These people reflect the care, extraordinary hard work, and the loving attention to detail by General Manager Tom Gurtner. He has made an oasis for you that will make you want to return over and over to the happy enclave known as The Four Seasons, Westlake Village.
