Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Are you struggling to find the right gift and/or dining experience for your special loved one? The Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills has your back! Available throughout the month of February, the Spa is offering a romantic retreat specially formulated for a Valentine's celebration by using Spellbound treatments that stimulate desire and chemistry. Ooh-la-la!

 

The pheromones used in The Spa’s Spellbound Treatment stimulate Nature’s way of sending signals to your partner. The pheromone Oxytocin is known as the "love pheromone", for it has the ability to trigger feelings of attraction, intimacy, and affection. In order to cater to your senses, the treatments are mixed with natural oils such as gardenia, vanilla, frangipani, and sandalwood. The Spellbound Treatment is used to bring the couple a feeling of closeness and affection.

 

The romantic suite will feature scattered rose petals, candlelight, chocolate truffles, relaxing sounds, and the specialized pheromone used for the Spellbound treatment. Along with a beautiful and comfy night's rest, celebrity nutritionist Kimberly Snyder has created an aphrodisiac elixir to make your bonding experience even more special. It is formalized to increase fertility, libido, and energy. It consists of ingredients such as rand aw cocoa, serotonin, phenylethylamine, anandamide, ginger, and bee pollen, which keeps the skin and hair healthy from its high content of B Vitamins and antioxidants.

 

You can choose from a 60-minute treatment ($180) or a 90-minute version ($260). For the best skin results, the 90-minute Spellbound Surrender is perfect for you! For only $285, you are gifted with a full-body exfoliation by the use of luxury salts and oil scrubs; topped off with a relaxing massage, you are bound to walk out with flawless skin.

 

After some relaxation and pampering, you can continue the romance at the hotel's Culina restaurant, where Chef Mette Williams has prepared a specialized Valentine's Day four-course menu. You will begin with a choice of three appetizers: roasted leek and potato soup with vanilla poached lobster, insalata di raddichio with blood orange and crispy pork, or hamachi crudo with candied kumquats and mini rose petals. The first course will consist of beet ravioli with buratta and black truffles; pizzetta with cocoa nib crust, lamb sausage or harissa; and risotto with porcini mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, and parmesan. The second course includes black bass with creamed spinach, pickled chili, purple potatoes or crab guru; the manzo beef rib and short rib, walnut romesco and celery root puree; or stuffed qual with Venetian black rice, pomegranate and quail jus. Lastly, satisfy your sweet tooth with gianduja chocolate cake smothered in delicious caramelized hazelnuts and blood orange gelato, or red passion panna cotta with raspberry, pomegranate and passion fruit.
