Hotel Bel-Air — backstory

Backstory

Founded as Alphonzo Bell’s estate planning offices and equestrian stables in 1922, the grounds were transformed into a hideaway in 1946.

Hotel Bel-Air — eat & drink

Eat & drink

Cal-Med dishes are served across garden terrace alcoves, while the wood-paneled bar draws evening crowds around a grand piano and fireplace.

The neighborhood

Tucked deep inside Stone Canyon behind residential gates, the secluded estate feels completely removed from the sprawl of West Los Angeles.

“Tucked away in the hills above Los Angeles, staying at Hotel Bel-Air is like being a guest at a grand private estate with lush gardens, extreme privacy, and old Hollywood glamour.”
