The service I received at Hotel Bel Air was flawless. From the minute I arrived to the moment I left, the staff was genuine, friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome. The property/ grounds were impeccably maintained and gorgeous from the front entrance to the most remote location. It's private, secluded, and luxurious, yet not intimidating and pretentious. I would... more

My wife and I have just spent five days at the Bel-Air. In my view, it is probably the best small hotel in the world, and will certainly be so when its new spa is opened. The hotel is ravishingly beautiful and sits in exquisite gardens. The pool is stunning, rooms are perfect, and the food is exceptional. However, what... more

It's just sad to watch it happen. A hotel with a great staff and great location is slowly, slowly declining. The Hotel used to be the highlight of several trips a year for us. Lauren Bacall taught one of my daughters to swim in the pool, Brendan Fraser charmed my kids with some of his wedding cake, and Reese Witherspoon... more

The Bel-Air is really beautiful, quiet and cozy. The staff is pleasant (though the concierge had an attitude). And you will run into the occasional movie star, which is fun. But the food and food service at the hotel is really quite poor and annoyingly overpriced. You really can't eat there, even for breakfast. Luckily, there are a zillion great... more

As a hotel owner, I know not only how hard it is to hit a perfect score, but I also recognize it when I see it. This was my first visit to the Hotel Bel-Air in LA, and I have to say: perfect. Absolutely perfect. Bravo. From the finest detail (housekeeping, landscaping), to the best trained employees ever (every waiter... more

For my partner's 45th birthday I planned an incredible surprise: booked 2 tickets round trip from NYC to LAX. I arranged w/Ariana G at Hotel Bel Air a private table w/swans and candles and flowers for the special Champagne Tea celebration. We flew 6 hours to LAX, rented the car, drove to the hotel, and then were flying home back... more

This august, we did our 2nd and 3rd stay at Hotel Bel Air. My partner, mother-in-law and I had been staying here last year as the highlight of our US vacation, and liked it so much we wanted our sisters to share the experience. It started with on a great note, with the valet parking greeting us from last year,... more

The Bel Air is one of the most civilized hotels in the world. It's not loud or ostentatious, rather it is quiet, beautifully appointed with the most outstanding service I've ever experienced. I highly recommend this bastion of graciousness. more

We were invited to a wedding being held at the Bel Air in late August. We decided to splurge and stay at the hotel for the weekend. Check-in went smoothly and the front desk people were very friendly and professional. We had booked a Grand Deluxe King Fireplace & Patio room, and it was lovely. We really enjoyed sitting out... more
