Tasty treats complete the ultimate spa experience at
Kinara
Kinara means "on the edge" in Hindi, a phrase which
may describe your state of mind and your reason for visiting
a spa in the first place, but
by the time you leave it will have lost all meaning.
Famed restaurateur Christine Splichal and derma diva Olga Lorencin
have teamed up to offer a new take on luxury relaxation. Kinara,
a day spa and cafe¢ nestled
in the heart of West Hollywood’s home design area, marries gourmet fare
with top-of-the-line treatment facilities. Architect Hagy Belzberg created
a retreat with soothing natural lighting, clean honey-colored wood accents
and a modern front wall of glass.
With assistance from superstar chef Joachim Splichal, the menu is not all smoothies
and fruit salad. Instead, try cucumber-mint tea sandwiches or a smoked salmon
sandwich with roasted onion marmalade. For real decadence, take a cappuccino
and a coconut macaroon with you to the pedicure foot bath. Continue the extravagance
by plunging into a hydrotherapy tub for a Cleopatra milk bath or try a detoxifying
Bora Bora Scrub. For the ultimate unwinding experience, opt for the Kinara
Signature Massage, which combines Swedish, Shiatsu and Deep Tissue techniques.
For beauty made-to-order, let Lorencin do wonders with a Kinara Custom Facial,
tailored to the individual.
