OVERVIEW
Formerly a Ritz-Carlton, this hotel is in a country-club-like setting in leafy Pasadena, adding to the get-away-from-it-all experience. During the summer, the spa offers manicures and martinis by the pool bar. Popular treatments include Java Rejuvenation, in which a blend of ground Arabica beans and Dead Sea salt exfoliates while detoxifying, regenerating, and improving blood flow.
