Traditional Korean communal bathing, saunas, cafe, and relaxation
"There are Korean saunas — a classic LA experience — and then there's Wi Spa: the 24-hour mega spa is open to kids and adults, much to the lament of anyone in search of a relaxing experience (me). Offering an extensive list of spa services, the best bang for your buck is the flat entrance fee. For 25 buckaroonies, you get full access to five different heated rooms, hot tubs, dry and steam saunas, a library and sleeping rooms, where you can chill (and sweat) with the whole fam or your new squeeze on a nap mats in the communal jimjilbang for as long as you like, or basque on the quiet rooftop. If that's not enough for you, Wi has a full restaurant and a gift shop filled with Korean beauty products and services. Ideal if you need a serious backrub (go for the accupressure massage) or want to have skin like baby (even if you're not one, their body scrub treatment can get you there, bro)." - The HR Dept
"This Koreatown jimjilbang is a full-service wellness staple with separate men's and women's areas: guests shower, soak in medicinal tubs (including cold treatments), and can pay extra for body buffs, seaweed massages, and facials before relaxing in a communal cafe, cavernous saunas, a sleep room with soft leather recliners, and a full gym — all experienced in the provided Wi Spa shorts and t-shirt." - Maxwell Williams
"This is what you get for setting up your two best friends. They eventually break up, despise one another, and then make you take sides. Skip all that and go into hiding at Wi Spa in Koreatown. This five-story metropolis is an LA institution where 40 minutes becomes four hours in the blink of an eye. Sign up for private acupuncture, slurp spicy chicken stew at the 24-hour cafe, or roll around in hot clay balls with strangers in matching uniforms. It’s a beautiful, phone-less world at this Korean spa, and that’s just what your soul needs." - brant cox
"Perfect For Writing: A mini-series about strangers who can communicate telepathically, or a WestWorld rip-off. Koreatown has many great day spas, but Wi Spa is the undisputed grand master of them all. This massive, four-story spa has separate mens and womens floors, family areas, a full-service restaurant, computer rooms, a gym, and every type of sauna imaginable. And after clearing your mind through a much-needed clay meditation, head up to the rooftop terrace (in your Wi-spa provided uniform) where there’s free wifi, plenty of seating, and a quiet environment ideal for writing/staring at your computer." - brant cox
