1. Cross that bridge to a stress-free world at the Chinese-style pagoda on the grounds of the Four Seasons in Westlake Village. Peaceful surroundings invite meditation.

4. Go ahead — make a grand entrance on the hotel’s staircase, with its chandelier, woodwork, thick carpeting and the bucolic mural.

5. Catch up on some reading in the library at the California WellBeing Institute. The on-site medical clinic is another kind of luxury for the health-minded.

6. Need a facial, massage or some other pampering? The hotel’s large Euro-Asian spa is just a short stroll from guestrooms.

7. There’s a welcome abundance of light — and lighting — in the hotel’s well-appointed guestrooms. The amenities include flat-screen TVs and DVD players.

8. Watch the aquatic Olympics in the elaborate tank in the bar at Onyx, the hotel’s Japanese restaurant. Now, about that sushi order ...

9. Workouts in the hotel’s state-of-the-art fitness center are part of the package. Obey the personal trainer, then slip over to the spa for a much-deserved massage.

10. The hotel’s exterior might be a little uninspiring, but inside, the concept is multi-layered: This is a luxury medi-hotel that weds holistic self-care principles with the pampering of an upscale resort spa.
