Where Celebrities Go to Unwind in Beverly Hills, CA

Beverly Hills has always been more than a glamorous ZIP code; it is both the apex and antithesis of the Hollywood lifestyle. Keeping the bright lights and paparazzi flashbulbs (mostly) at arm's length, Beverly Hills represents the opulent, luxury-laden side of the A-list equation, a sanctuary of lavish sophistication. For celebrities, it's a place to retreat, reset, and re-center. Beyond the constant din of cameras and red carpet premieres, this enclave offers a curated lifestyle built on privacy, discretion, and a level of personalized service that makes even the most public figure feel at home.

And when it's time to unwind, relax, and live life out of the spotlight, regardless of whether at a spa, restaurant, or private club, Hollywood's elite know where to go and how to lay low in style in Beverly Hills.

From A-listers seeking a holistic wellness journey to stars seeking cutting-edge skincare, or those who prefer a simple, classic massage, residents of Beverly Hills often rediscover their true selves within one of the city's celebrated spa and wellness centers. These are three of the most elite options.

Discreetly located within The Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, one of Beverly Hills' most iconic hotels, the Forbes 5-star Beverly Hills Spa is a haven of calm amid an otherwise chaotic lifestyle. Known for its high-touch, bespoke treatments, the Beverly Hills Spa is where celebrities book transformative facials, post-travel massages, and wellness journeys, including California radiance and the Beverly Hills Journey. Also offering red light therapy, private yoga classes, and access to the state-of-the-art Beverly Hills Gym, the experience here is full-body immersion designed to rejuvenate, detox, and unwind.

A steadfast emblem of Old Hollywood glamour, The Beverly Hills Hotel, aka "The Pink Palace," is legendary, and the spa nestled within its confines is equally beloved. Privacy is a key ingredient here with serene suites, private entrances, and top-tier service that caters to everyone from A-list regulars to global dignitaries. It's the go-to for deep-tissue massages, pre-event glow facials, and hyper-personalized salon services or nail treatments, or simply an hour of uninterrupted peace.

Understated and exquisite, and often lauded as the best spa in Beverly Hills, Tomoko is a one-time hidden gem that maintains its private, intimate ambiance even as its broader notoriety continues to grow. Built around multiple worldwide treatment philosophies, including those culled from the Japanese healing approach of Chi (blood) and Qi (energy), the experience here is indeed otherworldly and highly personalized. Celebrities prize it for its serene environment, flawless service, and treatments—including restorative, facials, and pregnancy treatments, as well as offerings for couples—that fuse Japanese and Swedish massage techniques. Post-session rituals include green tea and traditional sweets, a fitting end to a meditative experience.

Even in Beverly Hills, not every celebrity dinner happens under a spotlight. Many prefer tucked-away dining rooms, alfresco terraces, and discreet, familiar haunts where the service is seamless, and the ambiance does the heavy lifting.

At The Beverly Hills Hotel, the Polo Lounge is an institution for both power lunches and quiet early dinners. Known for its lush garden patio and signature cocktail list, this is where movie moguls and music legends close deals or catch up with friends in an atmosphere that leans elegant—be mindful of the comfortable but sophisticated dress code—but never stuffy.

Though it may seem cliché at this point, more than 40 years after it first opened, Wolfgang Puck's flagship Spago restaurant still draws Hollywood royalty, even if for the spectacle of dining at one of Beverly Hills' most famous eateries. Thankfully, the food remains well-executed, and the stylish interiors and warm, familiar service promise a lavish night out. Expect to spot producers and performers during seasonal specials and Champagne pairings in the always-popular garden courtyard.

The upscale Mediterranean Avra Beverly Hills seafood restaurant is prized for its airy ambiance, shimmering bar, and menu that feels as light or indulgent as the mood dictates. Situated adjacent to the Beverly Canon Gardens, behind Two Rodeo in the city's Golden Triangle, its stone walls and olive trees are a natural fit for stars seeking a slice of European calm.

• The Rooftop by JG atop the Waldorf Astoria for panoramic views and sunset cocktails.
• Funke is an Italian favorite with impeccable service and extraordinary handmade pasta.
• The Maybourne Beverly Hills Hotel offers an array of celebrity-approved options, including Dante Beverly Hills, The Terrace, and the Maybourne Cafe.

In recent years, Los Angeles has welcomed a new generation of private social clubs. These intimate spaces blend hospitality, lifestyle, and community in a way that feels both current and enduring. These include The Aster in Hollywood and Soho House off Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Beverly Hills, however, only features one such club, though it's often recognized as the most exclusive of all.

Established with privacy in mind, Gravitas delivers black-car service, private entry, and curated social events for an invitation-only crowd. With a high-end wine program and elevated dining experiences, Gravitas is where celebrities network, decompress, or entertain in a fully off-the-radar setting and is a modern alternative to the traditional Beverly Hills scene.

In Beverly Hills, celebrity relaxation is less about being seen and more about recapturing moments of calm and stillness away from the glaring public eye. Of course, the most prized retreats are the places where celebrities choose to make their home. It's no coincidence that Beverly Hills remains the premier choice for where the stars live.
