50 Best, September 2024Secluded in the canyon and fringed by tropical gardens, the understated luxury of this legendary estate has been enchanting guests since 1946.
Tatler, January 2024Built in 1946 in a style that can only be described as romantic Mediterranean, the Hotel Bel-Air, with its rose-colored mission-style bungalows, is about as elite a hideaway as you can find.
Guide Michelin, September 2023The Hotel Bel-Air is the very definition of exclusivity, and the closest you'll ever get to feeling like Hollywood royalty.
Condé Nast Travaler, December 2018One of the most stunning properties in Los Angeles, if not the world, the Hotel Bel-Air screams luxury in the most private and understated way.
Fodor's, July 2018There's much to love about this sleepy hollow of a place. Be prepared to be swept away by the scents, sunsets and stardust: this is pure California in big, spirit-nourishing doses.

Hotels Own Introduction
A hidden LA gem nestled in the iconic canyon hills, Hotel Bel-Air offers an escape from the bustle of life just beyond its gates. Spanning 12 acres of lush, tranquil paradise, this estate blends relaxed residential charm with a touch of luxurious celebrity allure. No noise, no spectacle—just quiet serenity. As you arrive, the birds sing, the swans glide on the lake, and you cross the familiar bridge into this world apart.
Unlike typical long hotel corridors, most rooms and suites open directly onto vibrant gardens, embracing nature at every turn. The dining experience here captures the essence of modern Californian cuisine, infused with Mediterranean flavors. Whether enjoying a meal in the elegant dining room, under the open sky on the terrace, or in the chic bar and lounge, every dish is crafted with perfection and served by our exceptional team. Welcome to Hotel Bel-Air, where refinement and nature harmoniously meet.
