Los Angeles, California
The spa at Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills treats every guest like a movie star. Poolside cabanas let you feel like a VIP, and innovative therapies include an inner-peace immersion to balance your emotional well-being and a DNA facial that utilizes the OxyGeneo machine from plastic surgeon Ronald L. Moy, MD.
Chicago, Illinois
The rooftop deck of Soho House Chicago will transport you with its views and stainless steel swimming pool. The boutique hotel’s Cowshed Spa caters equally to both sexes, with a dedicated barbershop for gents. Fitness fans will love the 17,000-square-foot gym, which boasts a professional boxing ring and old-school pommel horse.
Austin, Texas
Travaasa Austin embraces the Texas Hill Country spirit with mechanical-bull-riding workouts and male-focused spa treatments that culminate with a local craft beer. At night, you can dance the Texas Two-Step or snuggle up around the fire pit. A three-acre working farm grows organic ingredients for both meals and spa treatments.
New York City, New York
