how we pick these, and what the hats mean

Three places to stay in Los Angeles: the splurge is the best sauna at $$$$, the sweet spot the best sauna for the money, and the steal the cheapest hotel ($ or $$) with a sauna worth using. Any other hotel here whose sauna scores 50 or more out of 100 sits under the three with the label of its price band; together they are our curated list for Los Angeles. The dollar signs are rough nightly price bands. The sauna hats rate the sauna, not the hotel, against the others here: the best sauna in Los Angeles gets five. Heat counts most, then what guests and critics say, the setting, the cold side and any sauna ritual. Saunas you can only use with a paid treatment, infrared pods, steam rooms and closed saunas never get picked. No hotel pays to be picked.
