Hotel Bel-Air

Nestled in the canyons of Los Angeles, Hotel Bel-Air has been a hideaway for world travelers for over 50 years. A visionary significant in the development of the area, Alphonso E. Bell created Bel-Air Estates in 1922. Bell acquired over 600 acres west of the city of Los Angeles, naming his new purchase "Bel-Air." Determined that the estates would become an exclusive and upscale neighborhood, he enhanced the surrounding area with new roads, utilities, a country club and lush, exotic vegetation.

Over the years, the hotel has developed into one of the most luxuriant and respected properties in the world. As the hotel and city have matured, Hotel Bel-Air's original ambiance has remained intact.

Each of the 91 guestrooms and suites at Hotel Bel-Air were decorated with custom fabrics, exquisite furnishings and luxurious Italian linens. The French-Country interior design features the highest standard of luxury, where the lush atmosphere of the property is brought inside the guestroom or suite, providing visiting guests with the ultimate in residential comfort. Rooms have Bose Radio, DVD players, plus many rooms have private patios, outdoor spas and wood-burning fireplaces.

All accommodations feature private entrances from the gardens or fountain courtyards, plus romantic touches like fireplaces, french doors and intimate tiled patios with private outdoor spas.

Hotel Bel-Air is part of Dorchester Collection, The Leading Small Hotels of the World, Virtuoso and Relais & Chateaux
