Review of Hotel Bel Air Los Angeles – Highlights
- Managed by the Dorchester Collection, the hotel Bel Air is one of the top 10 hotels in Los Angeles. Modern and luxurious, the hotel seeps of exclusivity. This enclave of the rich and famous head here for rest and relaxation. An oasis in the heart of Los Angeles.
- The entire property feels more like your own sprawling estate rather than a hotel or resort with staff caring for you like family and addressing you by your name. Likewise the hotel has just 45 suites and 58 room, though even the rooms are quite spacious.
- All rooms are very well appointed, designed with luxury in mind, from the soft Egyptian cotton sheets to the marble bathrooms with rainfall showers. The rooms are heavy with technology as well. From the tv above the bath, the bang and olufsen tv in the room and an iPad type controller to call for hotel services or control the lighting and ac in the room.
- The onsite Wolfgang Puck restaurant does not disappoint, the outdoor dining is small and private. You can also order the same menu pool side which is served on elevated trays. The menus are simple but the dishes are exceptionally executed and beautifully presented.
- Caring on the feeling of being at home, the Bel Air hotel bar, referred to simply as The Bar, with live music, is the ideal pre dinner watering hole to unwind before heading out in the plush seats surrounded by photographs of local celebrities.
- The surroundings and property are very lush with large trees grown over years rooted into the property alongside fountains and its own lake complete with swans that swim around gracefully.
- Hotel Bel Air’s main hang out during the day is the large heated oval pool with plush comfy day loungers circling it. Snacks given by the pool during the day such as ice cream in mini cones as well as fresh lemon aid.
Review of Bel Air Los Angeles – Things to Note
- Rates at the hotel range from 650 USD to over 2,000 USD for suites and in high season.
- Since there are so many different types of rooms from deluxe room, loft studio, canyon studio, Bel Air suite, and a list of signature suites such as swan lake suite and stone canyon suite your chances of getting an upgrade to a higher room category are quite high.
- The gym at the hotel is quite small, though the areas surrounding the hotel and property itself are quite sprawling so you can walk around and enjoy the scenery with some fresh air.
Review of Hotel Bel-Air Los Angeles – Tips
- The hotel has its own S class Mercedes used to drop off or pick up guests within a 3 mile radius of the hotel. This service is complimentary and available on a first come first serve basis, just let the bell staff know and they will make the arrangements.
- Speak to the concierge about art galleries and private estates in Beverly Hills and they will arrange a private tour of closed personal collections in nearby homes. The team at the hotel is absolutely wonderful, so whatever your interests they will help tailor exceptional itineraries for you.
- When asking the staff for suggestions of where to eat in Los Angeles they of course recommended local favorite In-and-Out Burger.
