Talk: What's New
L.A. Update
The City
of Angels is proving to have a voracious appetite for quality spa-going with
new contenders joining the pack at a furious rate. Here are a few of the most
glamorous entries.
THE
FRESHEST SPA on the scene is a destination for whiling away the
day—there's enough space and distractions to almost get
away with it. Kinara's magic formula is grounded in the pedigree
of of its founders, Christine Splichal, wife of food impresario
Joachim Splichal, and Olga Lorencin, facialist to the stars (notably
the glowing Natascha Henstridge and Christina Applegate). The
result is a temple to skincare and hedonistic escape. For starters,
the place is drenched in natural light, and that includes the
treatment rooms. A color hydrotherapy bath awaits lucky clients
as does massage therapist Christopher Warren. As for food, the
Splichals celebrate fine dining and think you should too—an
easy task in the elegant café reserved for clients (though
guests of clients are welcome for a pre- or post-treatment meal—with
wine, of course).
