Hotel Bel-Air

Los Angeles, US

Hotel Bel-Air is 12 acres of subtropical paradise in the middle of bustling Los Angeles. After passing through the iconic alabaster gates, guests are instantly immersed in a network of gardens populated by 1200 different plants from redwoods to roses. Elegant paths and footbridges wind through the horticultural display to reveal the grounds’ delights. Behind one hedge is the hotel’s legendary oval pool, site of Marilyn Monroe’s last photo shoot. Around a different corner, one finds Swan Lake, a favorite of Grace Kelly. Today, the property still attracts a bevy of A-list guests, functioning as a more private, serene counterpart to her sister Dorchester property, the Beverly Hills Hotel. Enhancing that emphasis on privacy - and security - the 103 rooms and suites in the pink Spanish Colonial buildings are also reached through the gardens. The Alexandra Champalimaud designed dwellings offer a refined mix of modernism and retroglam. Polishes from Frette, Bang & Olufsen and Natura keep visitors pampered. If you’re not planning to take the house car to nearby Beverly Hills or Century City, The Restaurant’s innovative California cuisine will keep you sated and the hip Bar & Lounge will slake your thirst with craft cocktails.
