I really wanted to love this place because I am a DTLA resident, would have loved for this to be my local spa but for the following reasons it won't be: 1.) I paid for a lymphatic massage and my "masseuse" Carmen had no idea how to do it. She was rubbing parts of my back, the back of my legs and forearms only. Similar to when you hit yourself against a surface and you rub over the injured part- except she rubbed extremely lightly. She didn't massage: above the knee or my armpits(lymphatic nodes are there), my neck or near my chest/collar bone. There was relaxing music playing in the background but it was hard to relax since hearing her breathe was louder than the music. She kept asking me "you ok?", I told her "I don't feel anything" and she kept going. Also, when it came to using the towel to dry off the oil she was really lazy about it, just mildly rubbed but didn't get even half of the oil off. She also put a good amount of oil in my palms which I don't understand because she didn't massage my hands? She forgot to wipe off the oil there too. I wanted a picture to post my review so I took one with flash and bam DIRTY HEADREST. SHE DIDN'T APPLY A DISPOSABLE HEADREST COVER!! HOW MANY FACES HAVE BEEN ON THIS HEADREST FOR IT TO LOOK THAT GROSS?? I felt so disgusted since I had JUST showered and had a clean face before I came in. Explains the smell when you lay down, also this headrest is plush and not too firm. When you lay down your head sinks in and your shoulders and rest of the body is higher than your head. 2.) Sauna didn't work. My car seat-warmers get hotter than the temp in that sauna. It's literally just warm. If you touch the glass from the inside, it's towards the cooler side. 3.) Location. Now, I should have known better to realize that between Broadway and Main the amount of homelessness and drug dealers is not something to brush off. I found parking right in-front of the entrance which made me feel safe. When I first arrived there was about 16-18 hooligans/ homeless on the sides of the establishment looking at me and my car. As I exited they had moved around the corner, but 2 remained in front as you can see in the pic. If you are a female please don't walk here alone or even think about walking here at night. A bunch of crazies even in the day. The best part about this place is Rene the guy answering the phones. Loved him.

I went to Desuar initially because they took the Spa Finder gift card and I had a couple to use. I’ve had several massages elsewhere, so I decided to get the Ocean Crest head/shoulder massage in November. The massage therapist I had must have never done that particular one before because it was unlike the description, completely. My head was on a rest that declined, so the blood rushed to my head. I asked if we could change the angle of my head and she adjusted the headrest, but then my head was resting on the edge which wasn’t terribly comfortable either. She mostly scrubbed the crown of my scalp continuously and it hurt. I asked her a few times to avoid that area because it was becoming raw, and she’d do my shoulders for a bit and then return to that part of the scalp. I didn’t want to be demanding so I just took it for 30 minutes. When I went to the front desk at the end, she was hanging around so I didn’t feel comfortable telling them that I had a bad experience. I still had a gift card so I decided to go back and get the same massage, but with a different massage therapist. I told them that I’d had a bad experience previously and they just said “oh sorry that happened”. The therapist they scheduled me with this time was much better. The massage was much more comfortable and professional. I didn’t love the “mist” they sprayed over me because it smelled musty, like it might be bad. All in all, I’d average the experiences to 2.5 stars, but I’m not thrilled to have used up $100 gift card plus $45 out of pocket for two 30 minute massages. Disappointing, I don’t want to go again.

If you haven't yet, YOU SHOULD. I went in for a Swedish Massage. 100% Satisfied. Was a special they had. I went for it. Was my first time there. Decor of facility is Set to Calm soothing vibes. Clean and Smells of good aroma. Lighting is perfect. Everyone there from the moment i walked in treated me Well. Honestly have been to many parlors, happy to say they'll be my only spot now. I will give you guys updates on Other services i get. I went in With high stress, High Anxiety & My head was full of worries. I had lots of worries in my Thoughts that Had to do with my own life. I knew i needed to relax but did every little thing to remedy a stress relief at home. Going to get a massage was my 1st big step to ease the stress happening to me physically. When i went in i was tense and knotted. But when I came out.... I had NOTHING but peace and all tension was GONE. My headache went away. I actually didnt have no worries. Just thoughts of needing to sleep. And yhats something i struggled with before the massage. Im going to keep going here. It was 100% what i needed for my thought process. Thank you Desuar for helping me with Peace of mind and relaxation. Couldn't have had a better restful week without the treatment i was given by your staff. Very professional treatment, and great prices! Loved my experience. Thank you. You all are Much appreciated, Sincerly Marlene

Desuar Spa DTLA is an absolute gem in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. From the moment I stepped inside, I was welcomed by a tranquil atmosphere and friendly staff. The spa's morocon and stylish decor immediately set the tone for a truly luxurious experience. I booked a massage and facial package, and I must say, it was an exceptional treat for both my body and mind. Alejandra was my therapist she is a true expert in her craft, ensuring that every moment of my treatment was pure bliss. The massage was perfectly tailored to my needs, relieving all my tension and leaving me feeling rejuvenated. The facial was equally impressive, leaving my skin glowing and refreshed. What sets Desuar Spa apart is their attention to detail and commitment to providing a personalized experience. Alejandra went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and pampered throughout my visit. The spa's amenities, including a sauna room and relaxation lounge, added an extra touch of luxury to my time there. I highly recommend Desuar DTLA to anyone in need of a little self-care and relaxation. Whether you're looking for a soothing massage, a rejuvenating facial, or simply a peaceful escape from the city's hustle and bustle, this spa is the perfect oasis. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Note: This review is based on my personal experience and opinion.

  • Jasmine Melgar

Booked at Desuar using my class pass credits bc I had too many rolled over and too busy with work to use them all. I booked a massage and wax after a day of work as a treat and really a necessity. They accommodated when I came in a bit early. However, my Brazilian wax has been one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had and I’ve been waxing a long time. It started off fine but towards the middle to end it got very painful and she kept going over parts multiple times which to me means she wasn’t pulling hair the proper way now looking back. I have a high pain tolerance and stayed the entire time without complaining however once I got home and checked myself out I noticed blood. When I took a mirror a discovered multiple wounds in my labia were my skin has been ripped from the wax. I have at least 3 open wounds that bleed and burn. I have been applying pain ointment since yesterday and still in a lot of pain. I’m furious and upset. I even tipped waxer 20% of the regular full price and I regret it so much I hope she doesn’t think she did a great job I the pain just had not set in. I will never come back to Desaur and would t recommend anyone else takes a chance.

A pleasant oasis in DTLA. Second time visiting the establishment and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff made sure we were comfortable the entire time. It could be difficult to find. You'll see a sign for Desuar. The front desk will buzz you in and you'll take an elevator down to the spa. Make your way to the left where you'll be greeted. Once checked in, you'll be escorted to the locker room to get robed. You'll head to the waiting area and you'll be guided to the room for services. Our package included deep tissue massages, facials and a soak. Massages were great. Wish I could remember the names. Once we were finished in the room, we were led to the tub. It was quite nice. Once entered, some salts and essential oils were added to the tub full of bubbles. A cart with towels and some candles lit in the corner. Depending on how hot you like your bath water, it can get really hot in there. Didn't seem to have much airflow. Also wished the room was better insulated for noise so you could have a conversation or listen to music. Conversations in the adjacent room could be heard.

  • Kashell Woodson

Today was my 2nd visit to Desuar spa. I received a facial and eye treatment. I was late and was still able to keep my appt so I definitely appreciate that! However, for the cost of services, I expected so much more. During my service, I could hear sirens, people talking, and what sounded like maybe something with wheels being rolled across the floor above us. The spa feels more like a dungeon than anything else. My esthetician was ok but seemed to be in a rush. She was constantly sighing very loudly and fumbling around looking for items. The chair squeaked the entire appointment. During the dermaplan, she was using the razor pretty fast. So it felt kinda scratchy. My skin feels fine but I was hoping for a relaxing service. Based on the prices, this is supposed to be a luxury spa. But the vibes were not luxury at all. I saw empty champagne flutes in the waiting area. I was shocked to see my esthetician wearing street clothes. All fine but not when you’re paying $200 for a facial. I could’ve gone to massage envy.

Gem of a spa in a weird basement location right across from The Last Bookstore in DTLA. At first I was a bit sketched out as I walked through the very industrial basement, past the laundry room, thinking "what did I get myself into?" but as soon as I got into the spa itself I was well at ease. Tasteful, comfortable decorations, fresh clean fragrance throughout and a friendly staff were waiting inside. My massage therapist Kristy was incredible - very strong, very knowledgeable, professional and responsive - and the deep tissue massage she administered managed to get rid of some persistent knots in my shoulder and lower back that had been troubling me for weeks. It was definitely a good bit more expensive than I was expecting, but to be fair I never even looked at the price until all was said and done. Still - a bit of sticker shock. Overall though, my experience was excellent and I would definitely go back.

  • Vina R

I have to say the massage was one of the best I have ever had! That said, I am giving it three stars and here is why: - the spa is in the basement, which is fine but it feels stuffy and there is an odd odor in the air. Not relaxing or pleasant. - there are no signs at the entrance, you just have to figure your way down to the basement. - the front desk person didn't seem welcoming by which I mean he kept telling us to sit and fill out forms, didn't seem open to a simple polite conversation. He also didn't look put together, was wearing jogger pants. Not a big deal but definitely doesn't help with the first impression. - he walked me into women's changing room. And I mean he actually walked in there with me! - the shower was not clean, hair everywhere. In conclusion the actual massage was great, but the ambiance was way off. I will definitely not go back or recommend this place to anyone.

  • Chris C

Hands down the worst massage experience I've ever had and it's not even close. Seeing empty glasses all over the waiting room was the first sign. Then a woman calls me out 10 mins late. She proceeds to tell me, "I've been doing this all day and haven't had a break. You're going to have to be patient." Ownership - overwork your staff much? She then, no kidding, loudly belches. "Sorry, I just had a coke." She finally arrives and within 1 minute leaves to get her phone. Returns. Leaves again to get some oils. I'm now about to walk out. Returns again. She starts and I can tell she's only using one hand and is distracted. I look up and she's texting: "I'm texting to see if I can leave early." I literally thought I was on some show being punk'd. Wait, was I! AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

  • Emilia Leon

New location: Silver Lake What a treat after such a rough year mentally, emotionally and physically. My body had been holding in so much stress and tension, so it was nixie to finally be able to relax and experience such a magical massage with a view of the sunset, city and twinkle lights that set the mood to melt away all those stress knots. My masseuse was extremely friendly, and profession. They took the proper precautions for Covid and still managed to make the experience feel somewhat normal, all things considered. The location was easy to find parking and the staff was very accommodating. I plan to return soon for a facial - another much needed service this year! Definitely a vibe that's perfect for a couples massage, too! (Also, on the list) Thank you all!

  • tiler cole

Worst spa experience I ever had....To start I was never offered my complimentary champagne....none of the staff spoke/acknowledge me besides the Hispanic lady behind the desk....my massage was awkward, they had a speaker that didn't work I was told to play music off of my phone (like literally out loud on my phone) the lady that did my massage had no consistency throughout the massage....I paid for a 50 min massage it ended at 35min I didn't make a big deal about it because I wasn't enjoying myself anyways....and my face became irritated the day after my facial....I will never go back to this place again I honestly wish I could get a refund and get my money back PLEASE TAKE YOU'RE MONEY ELSEWHERE They charge too much to have such low quality services

  • kenzie campbell

I was invited to the Desuar Day Spa for a massage. The place is a bit odd to get to, it’s downstairs in a building on 5th in DTLA but there’s clear signage from the street. Once I got down there it was BEAUTIFUL! The spa is a relaxing/boho vibe filled with candles, yummy smells and a sense of calmness. They offered me water, showed me the spa changing room (that has a sauna, showers and plenty of room to change/get ready/pamper in) then I headed to my massage. It was amazing the masseuse was so kind and easy to speaks with. She adjusted based on how I felt. My back felt amazing after. She worked magic, I didn’t want it to end! I am so happy I found this spa and am thrilled to go back! 5 stars ⭐️ Thank you

  • Caramell Kisses

Great Massage Place, and even better Masseuse.The Ambience is very tranquil , dark with low lighting. Like a Romantic candle lit room. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The Robes are soft and comforting. I had a deep tissue and foot massage with Nadia and I would highly , highly recommend her. Nadia and the spa is definitely over 5 stars. But I took off a star bc the walls are thin. So you hear those next to you as if they are in the room with you. And you hear things being rolled around. Usually that would take away from my experience tremendously to the point that I wouldn't want to return.But the massage was SOO GOOD that I could just loose myself in that.

  • Salina Sells

I left wanting more from the establishment and massage. I loved my masseuse as a human. he was polite, kind and thoughtful. I definitely think there is potential but there’s a long way to go to get there. The furniture and decor is gotti. The staff can use some training in professionalism. As my masseuse escorted me into the room to explain the process we were interrupted TWICE by staff coming in and out of the room. I am convinced one of them thought I worked there as she also updated me on the status of the room next door. My masseuse and I were confused. As someone said for the price you should get more. Instead I left feeling like I went to an undeveloped spa.

  • Rose Smith

Masseuse Luz was great, untangled my knots! except my time was shorten, not sure if that is the style to this place, shorten a 50 minutes massage more of 30 mins for $85 ( my 1st time to this place) and did not do the added service but luckily the service was not added to my due. I got my facial with Sahar and also amazing. Sahar made my face glow! 3 Stars for the staffs! Luz, Sahar and helpful front desk. The basement location is sketchy but I needed pampering that day, so I went. Will I go back again. Definitely not due to the location and service time spent $170 for Facial and Massage, $20 cash tip for each person. Total $210 for that pampering.

  • t akinstou (E-Nebula)

Wish I could give it 5 stars because the service was really good. My problem is that I had to pay $10 for parking around the corner and that it's not safe to walk to the place. A bunch of people hanging outside of the Alexandria hotel up to no kinda good and when we left one of the dudes asked my mother if she could make him lunch and in return he would do .....ummmm a DL. He propositioned my mother for a sandwich. The actual spa is cozy and they have very nice, big robes. We got a good massage and champagne. But unfortunately the location and parking is the problem. I just don't feel safe going there. Unfortunate.

  • Polina Timchenko

I've been here enough times to finally write a review that reflects my experiences at Desuar Spa and it is one of my favorite places to go to in LA. I usually get Swedish and occasionally facial here, I love Alejandra and Rene, they do amazing job on massage! facials are also very refreshing and make you feel younger and rejuvenated. I love hanging out at their facilities after, relax with tea, use sauna, just hang out in those awesome robes. I love those robes so much that I got some for my house. Facilities are always clean, staff is very friendly, outstanding service! I will definitely keep coming here for more!

  • Ken Mann

Adequate but overpriced for what you get; and uncomfortable in many ways. Tables narrow, orange sheets and a quilt, head support too low and flimsy (needed multiple adjustments during a time I wanted to relax), Oriental rugs throughout not conducive to super cleanliness. Then there was the maze to reach it in the basement - not a pleasant walk or views along the way. Zori the masseuse was sweet but crude in her movements; I never could completely relax. Then I was left oily in numerous places even after her quick wipedown. And......nothing says "healthy" like the bowls of starlight mints in each public room.

  • Mercades Schell

Y’all can always catch me at the spa. If anyone has a messed up back hi it’s me. I’m 1000% that meme where I don’t know how to sit in a chair. It’s super important to attend to yourself and release all that tension. Plus it never hurts to spoil yourself. I highly recommend Javier at desuarspa in DTLA, he’s really good at explaining what he’s doing and giving some at home remedies to help with pain. (He recommend I try deep tissue and cupping) tbh I felt some release and will 100% add that into my spa time for my next visit. My fav spa 10/10 Also fun fact - @desuarspa is Woman & Minority owned

  • Paula Camila Pinto

The massage with Beverly was great and very relaxing. She was very delicate and gentle! My pet peeve was I got there 15 minutes earlier than my appointment time, but ended up waiting 20 minutes over my scheduled time. The atmosphere of the spa is very relaxing and they offer a lot of different services. However, the surrounding area is kinda sketchy and parking is a hassle. It would be better if they have some sort of arrangement with a close-by parking. I didn’t feel very safe walking from the car to the building. Overall, it was a good experience! The staff is polite and the massage was great!

  • Sandra Spencer

I am a loyal client at Desuar Spa. This place is so relaxing . Today I received the best sport deep tissue message ever by Javier. My muscles very extremely tight and Javier made me feel like a new person. I now feel great and I was very impressed with his experience. Next I experienced non-painful waxing; it was incredible. Melissa M was very gentle and comforting. I also received a marine pore cleaning facial by Melissa M She is very experienced and amazing. With both services, she took her time and was very professional, and advised me at home skin care. Melissa M ROCKS !!!

  • Mia GONZALEZ

I had an absolute amazing experience at this Spa. I came in for a full-body massage and the staff at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. They guided me to the bathroom/locker room where they provided clean robes and sleepers. The locker room was very clean with a sauna inside, which I definitely used. I then got the best massage. Very relaxing but also deep enough to get rid of some shoulder/neck tension I was holding. I will definitely be coming back for a couples massage with my boyfriend because I definitely want him to try this place. I highly recommend.

  • T F

The spa is beautiful and serene with many warm and inviting features including a gorgeous bathroom, waiting room, and shower facility. The products they use are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! They feel wonderfully luxurious on your face. The spa has a beautiful salt crystal table also that has illuminating LED lights that change colors. I’m going to get a massage on that table next time. What I loved the most is that I wasn’t pressured to buy anything and Daisy described the procedure as she gave me one of my best facials ever. You deserve this treat so check it out!

  • Maria Ayon

I had the best deep tissue massage at Desuar. They took me the same day and were able to accommodate me for an 80min session. The therapist was amazing. She worked on my shoulders and neck (my problem areas) and took time to stretch out other problem areas. I felt so relaxed after my session and slept so good that night. The facility was clean. The receptionist I spoke with was nice and pleasant. They have an excellent monthly membership which I will definitely consider once I'm back in the workforce. I highly recommend Desuar to my friends and family.

  • jaymeson jiles

Thais my first experience. I was gifted a 50-minute massage and I added a wax. Elizabeth did both and was so nice and engaging. She put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. The place is very serene. When you step off the elevator, you smell the scents of the candles and aromatherapy. It's quiet and the staff is pleasant and friendly. You forget you're in the heart of bust downtown LA! It's clean and spacious. Music plays throughout. You immediately feel relaxed. I will be coming back. Elizabeth is the best. I was floating after my massage.

  • Hope Rehak

The worst. It's really odd because it looks like a place someone (?a careless investor?) spent a lot of money in order to make a horrifying DTLA basement into a nice respite-y spa, but it's understaffed and poorly managed. I assume, based on my experiences here, the front desk folks and the custodial staff are not compensated adequately/there is not enough of them. It's been empty every time I've gone, and I expect it to be closed within the year. I hope whoever's running it either hires more people or treats the ones they have better.

  • Whitney L

Was able to schedule a massage on short notice online which was great. The neighborhood and building are unassuming but once you enter the basement suite, you’re greeted with kind people and a soft, cozy, ambiance. I didn’t arrive early enough to use the sauna or soak tub but the facilities were clean. My 50-min massage with Kathy was amazing. Just the right pressure, continuous movement, and paid attention to where i was most tight. On my way out, staff were really friendly, especially Allen! A decent place for good price

  • Tavneet kaur

I saw this place on google maps, checked their website and saw discounts going on massage, so i called them to book an appointment for sunday 9/24 and the women told me total of 125 and asked for 62 advance, i said okay I’ll call u back and give my card number, I called back and this other women picked up the call and she was so rude and arrogant. The discount is not available on weekend and everything and disconnected abruptly. I mean thats how they treat people on call , god knows how bad they will be when I got there.

  • Dajana Gudic

I went to Desuar spa for micro channeling and it is, by far, the best treatment that shows results very fast. Immediately after, my skin looked nicer and had a nice glow. The scar on my forehead was visibly less noticeable after just one treatment. Deisy is amazing. She explained how the facial works, kept me informed and comfortable through it and gave me a great massage while we waited for my face to get numb. This facial hurts a little but beauty is pain, right? Thank you Deisy, I will definitely be back. :)

  • Gladys Aparicio

I received the best massage by Alejandra. I have been struggling with tension around my neck, traps and shoulders. After seeing countless therapists and masseuses I can honestly say she exceeded my expectations. She applied the right amount of pressure in the places I needed the most. It is evident she’s trained and experienced. She even gave me “homework” so that I can work on reducing the tension I carry from working on the computer and having had a baby recently. Will be returning as long as she works here.

  • Elizabeth Monterroza

My husband and I got a couples massage, and I highly recommended this place. Our masseurs were Luz and Carmen, and they were great! Be aware that on Sundays, 5th street has a farmers market. Parking is also a bit of a hassle. They have lockers in the restroom where you can place your belonging. The restrooms are spotless! I would say this place is very relaxing and beautiful. We will be going back soon! The picture attached to this review is the view while waiting to be checked in.

  • Yo Yo

I have been here many times over the years and I have had an amazing experience every time! Massages and facials are worth every penny. Alejandra was so informative and really made sure I got the best treatment for my skin. She didn’t rush through at all and went above and beyond. If I had the money, I’d be here every week and trying the whole menu. It’s hard to figure out what to pick but they really take the time to help you find what’s best for you. Thank you so much!

  • Ashil Todd

This is my go-to place. I've been coming here since they first opened. I just don't know why I haven't reviewed them before. I get massages here every 3 months, and I have my favorites. Javier is super knowledgeable and has good techniques. He also does cupping and physical therapy. Alejandra has a firm touch with soothing hands. Carmen is a very strong therapist. I don't think you will ever be disappointed. I highly recommend this place. Go support your local business..

  • Susheel Kumar

Luz the therapist was spectacular - I had played a game of cricket the day before and was sore - after a massage with Luz - I was pain free and ready to sleep and recover - I mean magnificent and ask for her - also she offered and came off her lunch break to do a massage. Talk about dedication and servitude to the client - I am grateful and deeply appreciative of her and the salons treatment of this client - thanks ladies and Rene- keep up the great work -

  • Kianna Vestuto

Being a trainer and fitness coach, I prioritize recovery days and my spa day at Desuar was much needed! One of the best massages I’ve ever had! Javier was incredible. I wanted a little bit of lymphatic massage and some deep tissue in certain areas, so Javier gave me exactly that. Ask for the “Javi special” and he pinpoints all the areas on your body that need some work! Also did the Cleopatra bath soak after. Super clean spa and nice staff. Thanks Desuar!

  • Sabrina Pazirandeh

I had a great experience at the DESUAR spa in DTLA. The place was so so nice and relaxing. I had Alejandra as my massage therapist and she truly did an amazing job. Not only did she help my back immensely but she also taught me some stretches I should be doing to help the pain. I was able to relax in the sauna after my massage which was so amazing! I also want to try one of their facials because they all sound so incredible! Highly recommend. :)

  • Tamara Chkheidze

My boyfriend and I had an experience in DESUAR recently. We’ve paid $250 for both and to be honest when you pay this amount you’re expecting more professional service. I wouldn’t like to seem like mean person but I had more service and more caring host in the cheapest spa. Plus we’ve paid for 50 min and the massage lasted for about 40 min We tried Swedish massage (it was ok not perfect but ok) We’re definitely gonna find another spa

  • Alandra Readus

Omg! What an experience! I would like to thank Deshaun for providing me with the best massage experience thus far. I am super relaxed & I just feel so refreshed. My girls & I typically find Spa's to go to when we are out of town & I can say that this one was fairly easy to find. When I come back, I'm definitely requesting him again. He literally understood the assignment. Again, thank you for treating my massage like royalty. :)

  • S P

I had a facial before an event. Specifically mentioned that I don't want anything that would peel my skin. Was assured that the recommended facial doesn't peel. Yet after the facial I had extreme dryness and peeling for days. When I mentioned the same to the manager, they tried their best to pass on the blame to me. Absolute worst! They will recommend expensive facials without taking into account your skin type and your needs.

  • Kaja Lovick

So today my husband and I had a “serenity healer” massage. This was not as advertised. There was actually no massage. It was literally me laying there with the stones for 50 min. In the description it specified a customized massage. But I was literally touched 4 times total for about 10 seconds each. Very disappointed being that this was a Father’s Day gift for my husband. I felt super bad because he was expecting a massage.

  • Maricela Hernandez

I received the best massage and facial treatment at DESUAR SPA after a nice greeting from no other than the owners Deisy and Keith. After a long week of work, I was able to enjoy their cozy and welcoming facility. I felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout my session at DESUAR SPA in Monterey since the staff is so friendly. It is so easy to get there and plenty of free parking either in the hotel or on the street.

  • LaTasha Cameron

Desuar Spa was so relaxing, I really enjoyed my birthday there. The staff and Daisy was fantastic, they made this a birthday to remember. The private area was set up so cute for my party, all the girls enjoyed themselves. Can't wait to go back. If you never been here before, make sure to take the elevator down to the spa. Since the door man was away there were no signs telling us where to go.

  • Big Stew

I took my mom to DESUAR spa for the first time. She always get these little massages at random places and always just says it was ok. When I picked my mom up from DESUAR spa, she had nothing but wonderful things to say. She said “OMG that was so good. I am so relaxed. That massage was great. I could go to sleep right now because I’m so relaxed.” Let’s just say she is a happy customer.

  • Timothy J. Carter

The ambience and staff were inviting and pleasant. The only reason for the 4 stars is the options and set up for couples is limited and I would have love for the bath soak or facial to be included as an add-on when purchasing the most expensive or exclusive package. Finally just a preference I would have liked to soak my feet and had wine/ champagne served as soon as we arrived

  • Isaac Trumbo

I had the most amazing experience at this Spa!!! From the moment you walk it, you feel the relaxed and healing atmosphere. Everything is very well decorated, relaxing lighting, soothing music and helpful staff. The facial was great and the massage was out of this world. Best massage I've ever had, hands down. I slept better than I have in 6 months. Highly recommend.

  • Laurelyn Mynhier

I hidden gem. Tucked away in a DTLA basement I wasn’t sure what to expect but my visiting friend and I thought we’d give it try because it was close to her hotel. She had a massage and a facial and I had a massage and a body wrap. Both of us enjoyed our treatments immensely and felt that our therapists were knowledge and caring. Thanks for a relaxing morning.

  • Alaïs Torres

I’ve had a lot of massages in my life and this one was truly one of the best. I don’t want someone who just rubs me with lotion nor do I want someone who destroys my body. The massage therapists are true professionals - I will definitely come back! Staff is kind and attentive and the whole vibe of the place is super relaxing. A wonderful hidden gem in DTLA!

  • Kelsey Hasick

Not the most romantic location to do a couples massage. Very dirty downtown location and also in the basement. The actual experience was ok. The pillow I had to put my face into was questionable with some stains. Also it would have been better if they dealt with our payment before the massage rather than after. Took forever and was frustrating.

  • Shirley Bogarin

First time at Desuar spa, got the 50 min Swedish massage with Carmen and I can’t rave enough about her. She made me feel so relaxed, and eased all my tension from my desk job and offered me champagne at the end of my session. She was so thoughtful and thorough through the whole process. Can’t wait to come back and see her …

  • Esther Tonea

Great customer service, nice vibe and amenities. Location isn’t great, but I loved my massage (Javier) and facial (Kati). Javier is AMAZING. So knowledgeable and actually read my massage info form I filled in before showing up (I’ve been to massage spots that don’t always show up prepared in that way). Def recommend DESUAR.

  • dominique P

The receptionist was amazing! I was going to be late and called to cancel our couples massage but she worked with me. Gave us a different time and room so that we wouldn't forfeit the money. I really appreciated it! The masseuses were amazing. He working out kinks in my shoulders I didn't know we had, so make sure you tip!

  • Yessenia Lopez

Had a couples massage with my husband and the masseuses were great. Our entire experience was great we will definitely return. Only thing that would have made our experience better was if the soaking tub was in a quieter place. We could hear people talking around us. Other than that great place and nice, respectful staff.

  • Grayling Purnell

I had an amazing experience…best massages! The Cryo Facial which had my face feeling smooth and tight. It was so cold 17 degrees but I enjoyed the experience and results. The Sweetish Deep Tissue massages was amazing and he even use suction cups. I can’t wait to go back and recommend them. Best massages in Los Angeles

  • Sylvia23

The couples massage with Alejandra and Allen were superb. My massage therapist Allen made sure I was comfortable for each step of the massage. I felt so rejuvenated. . The facial I also received was very gentle and my aesthetician very kind and knowledgeable. If you truly want to be pampered I recommend Desuar DTLA.

  • Patrick Brown

The location is convenient and I really enjoyed my massage. The folks are very nice and clearly know what they're doing. I was able to sneak in a 50min massage on my way to the airport, and it changed my whole day! It may be rough around the edges of the building, but once you're inside, it's all good. …

  • Marie C.

My bestie and I were in LA on business. We decided to treat ourselves and booked facials and massages. Both of rated our experience as phenomenal! My skin felt so buttery after the massage and facial. I would definitely recommend this spa to anyone. Now any trip to LA must include an appointment at Desuar!

  • Ana Sassin

Tried it on a Groupon special. $81 for a 50 min Swedish massage. Paid a little extra for the CBD rub. The spa is chill and relaxing even though it's off a busy road. Chrissy was great. Even got a complimentary glass of bubbly. I would like to try the DTLA location that has slightly more menu items

  • Rachel Wilkerson

I love this spa. Been coming here for a few years and it never disappoints. The lady’s locker room is clean, calm and convenient. They provide soft cozy robes and slippers and it even has a sauna to use before your treatment. The masseuses are top notch and I look forward to coming every month.

  • Sam Blakely

This spa is beautiful and tranquil. I’ve never seen such a beautiful spa bathroom! The staff was awesome. Javier was kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. One of the best massages I’ve ever received! The facial was also divine. Can’t say enough good things about this spa!

  • RASSI Lina

Not a place I would recommend for a great spa experience but more of an efficient treatment, basic. The masseurs are very nice and sweet but for the price you pay for the service, you need more professionalism. I’m sure there are much better massages in LA!! #Disappointing

  • Imaan

had a great experience here. parking is a bit tricky in downtown, but once inside, service was excellent. It was my first time doing Hydrafacial and I'm hooked!!! skin was glowing and clean after. All of their facilities are hygienic and staff were very professional

  • Maomi Chu

I’ve been coming here for four years now and it’s the best spa in dtla! I always get the deep tissue massage with Rene. As long as I live in LA I will be coming here. Very beautiful and zen space. Owner and staff are very inviting and nice.

  • Jacquelyn Brooks

My dear friend was visiting from FL and we decided to meet at Desuar Day Spa. This was my 1st time there and it it did not disappoint. All the things you read about read about the parking and it being in the basement are true. It did not

  • Dionna Williams

Love this place! Angel is my esthetician, and she is amazing! The staff are very friendly and the spa itself is very nice and relaxing. They use IS Clinical, which I've become a huge fan of. All in all this spa won't disappoint you!

  • Kara BS

I loved the experience that I had at this place. Being honest, the entrance was a little confused, but beside that, the costumer service was great and the whole couple package that I got for my husband and I was worth it …

  • B Harris

This is literally the Best spa I've had the privilege of experiencing. From start to finish, it was a Diamond level. Brava to the team for Everything! Just wish they'll consider Washington DC as a new location! …

  • Brianna Mike

Getting to the right location was a bit tricky. Thankfully the staff was very understanding and I was able to make it to my appointment. Beverly did an amazing job, very professional, and very nice. I feel so relaxed …

  • Sammael Elohim

Absolutely lovely service. Started with Champagne and ended with my whole body free of knots and tension. Extremely professional staff and the facility is quite decent. Would recommend to anyone looking to be taken care of.

  • cindy kim

If you're getting a massage, ask for Javier! He is the best! Very professional, ensures you're comfortable and gives sound expert advice. He will make sure you leave better than when you walked in! Thank you Javier!

  • Laura Kleinbaum

The space is lovely, the staff is lovely, the services are great. Street parking is virtually non-existent, so be prepared to spend $10 on a lot. But minus the parking, a truly relaxing experience!

  • sarah manneh

This was an amazing spa with all the amenities, private, secluded and just what I needed between flights. Swedish massage, and Katy was fantastic. FYI, you can book if you have Class Pass credit!!

I had today a great massage from Carmen. She took care of my neck problems, great massage therapist. I also had a good time inside the Sauna, this is my second time at this location and I love it.

I'm still glowing after 24 hours! First facial since 2019 and I'm sorry I didn't go sooner! Deisy is incredible! The spa was so relaxing and calming. I HIGHLY recommend Desuar Spa!!

  • Ross Lawrence

Best Deep Tissue Sports Massage I’ve ever had. Ray made sure he removed every knot in my upper back, as well as stretching my legs and intense IT Band work. Would highly recommend!

  • Al Kator

Great massage! The masseuse was great at finding my trouble spots and working them out. I wish I lived in LA because I would be getting a weekly massage here. Highly recommended

  • Pierjea lyon

I absolutely love Desuar Spa. Came in for the deep tissue massage and left feeling like I was walking cloud 9. Rene is a god send! Thank you! I will definitely be returning! ❤️.

Beverly is everything. Now I know. It was the best massage I’ve ever had. Melissa topped it off with a very relaxing and thorough facial. I’m glowing on the inside and out.

My favorite spot in DTLA to get a facial! I booked the Acne Clear facial with Ale and she was just amazing and super sweet ☺️ Will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️

I love desuar! I’ve been going for almost 2 years now. The endosphere works really well for uneven skin tones! Highly recommend trying with Alejandra!

  • Jean Wang

I had a swedish massage for one hour, it was good but a little bit pricey. I booked through classpass, like around $68 for the basic swedish massage.

  • Veronica Buenrostro

I love this hidden spot downtown. I was able to disappear for a moment from the day to day stress. Great massage and the best eyebrow threading.

  • Fernando Lopez

Love love love this spa! I’ve been coming here monthly since the start of the new year and I have yet to find a spa with better amenities.

By far the best massage I’ve even had. Javier is so talented. I left there feeling so relaxed and pain free. Can’t wait to go back!
