A plethora of treatments await spa-goers, including body treatments, skincare and beauty rituals, massages, facials, acupuncture, body scrubs, eyelash extensions and more.

In September 2024, The Benjamin Royal Sonesta Hotel debuted the initial phase of its reimagination, including a refreshed lobby, a renovation of all 209 guestrooms and the introduction of the Beverly Suite. Its Rest & Renew Sleep program, created with Dr. Rebecca Robbins, includes a curated pillow menu, a meditation cushion, a Loftie Alarm Clock, a Loftie Night Light and a Nodpod Body Weighted Blanket.
