The Spa at Beverly Wilshire, Four Seasons. Beautiful facility and one of the best massages I’ve had. They have everything you need. Sauna, relaxing lounge, professional employees, snacks, drinks. They offer great facial treatments and red light therapies. Enjoy the pool and fitness center. Perfect for unwinding.
Really nothing missing here, just a bit more pricey.

A "bit", yes. One hour for around $260 plus tip. 
I can recommend Quantum Wellness Spa in Downtown. Not gonna lie, massages here are just as expensive, but that's not what I come for. I get my massage for 1/3 of the price at my Thai place. Nevertheless, the 5.0 stars on Google are absolutely deserved. Quantum is the best spa in Los Angeles. You get perfect wellness + the views. The whole place is designed to help you relax. It's way bigger than the pictures suggest, with different areas. That place is an experience.

I always end up at Olympic Spa. It's a women-only Korean spa and slightly more upscale than others. That place represents authentic Korean bathhouse culture. Try their salt room, clay & ice sauna. They have different pools and even an oxygen therapy room.
Whenever I deserve a special treat, it's that one.

My vote is Tulum Spa By Tomo in the Mar Vista/Culver area. It’s also sitting at 5.0 stars right now. Smaller and more personal than the giant hotel spas, which I actually prefer. Really relaxing if you want a massage and a proper reset without the whole Beverly Hills production.

I love Bossa Spa. It's a Brazilian day spa. Maria is amazing. You can tell she has decades of experience. If I want something faster and bigger, I go to Wi Spa. The spa is huge and open 24/. Sauna rooms, rooftop area, lounge spaces. It really depends on my mood and budget.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Wi Spa. Just don't come during peak hours and avoid the crowds. That's the lesson I learned.

It's okay if you go around 1-2 AM, but I still prefer Olympic Spa. It feels cleaner, quieter, less chaotic. Not saying Wi Spa is dirty. It's just not on the same level, but the prices are unbeatable, that's the reason why I keep coming back sometimes.

For me, it's pretty much Alchemie or Tikkun Holistic. Both are close enough to walk to. Alchemie has the better treatments. Tikkun has the better ambiance. I like to switch between them.

Hideko on Wihlshire. A smaller Japanese-style spa that gives me real peace.
They also offer couples' treatments. Perfect for anniversaries. The best part is the tea and cake at the end.

I would rather go to SPA LA (Wilshire Blvd). Not that small either. They have many beautiful rooms with different amenities, yet it feels more private.
As you wrote, Wi Spa can be okay as long as you avoid the crowds.
