About Hotel Bel-Air

A bridge across Swan Lake introduces Hotel Bel-Air, where twelve acres of gardens shape the experience of staying in Los Angeles. Its mission-style main building began as Alphonzo Bell’s estate planning office before Joseph Drown and architect Burton Schutt transformed the property into a hotel in 1946. That residential character still matters: most rooms and suites open directly onto gardens, and the interiors take their cues from Hollywood Regency. The Restaurant serves Californian cooking with Mediterranean influences, while the Bar & Lounge centers on a fireplace and grand piano. Together, the architecture, garden paths, and intimate gathering spaces give this Bel Air address the feel of an established estate.

Why Celebrities Love Hotel Bel-Air

Paul McCartney

Hotel Bel-Air Nestled in a dozen acres of lush gardens in the canyon hills, the secluded Hotel Bel-Air is just a mile west of Beverly Hills but seems to occupy another time and place entirely. Many of the 103 rooms and suites open directly onto private gardens, the ideal way to soak up the Californian sunshine away from the buzz of the city or, well, any distractions at all. Hotel legend has it that at one time, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were all staying on site and none of them even knew the others were there.
