This was my first stay at Hotel Bel-Air and it is now my preferred hotel in LA. The sense of privacy and relaxation is unparalleled in the city, and the quality of all of the offerings -- from the amazing bar, to incredible poolside service makes for a restorative stay no matter your reason for visiting. The hotel is on a 12-acre piece of land tucked away in a valley in Bel Air, yet is a short drive from Beverly Hills, Westwood and (by LA standards) Santa Monica. I booked a Deluxe Room but was upgraded upon arrival and am not sure what room category I stayed in. Needless to say, the rooms are lovely. The bed was plush, the desk and seating area were comfortable and stylish and all of the technology in the room worked well. The bathrooms have mosaic tile details, large tubs, Japanese toilets and waterfall showers. I was on the second floor and had lots of natural light in all rooms. It was a pleasure enjoying the restaurant, bar, pool and spa which are all a short walk from each other separated by immaculate landscaping. The gym was compact but well stocked with water, chilled towels, fruit and new Technogym equipment. I never saw more than one other person using the facilities while I was there. The gym is right above the spa so it was easy to use the steam room after workouts as well. All of the food I enjoyed on property, whether it was room service, at the restaurant, pool or even a few snacks at the bar was excellent. The bar especially deserves a shoutout -- it is a wonderful place with perfectly crafted drinks and live music every night. Well worth a trip even if you are not staying at the hotel. There is a house car that took us to an event on Sunset one day and was also available to go to Beverly Hills Hotel (where Hotel Bel Air guests have signing privileges) if needed. It was a really smooth experience and a great feature of the hotel. There were a few service missteps -- room service food arrived much later than the quoted time, a requested item never made it to the room etc., but otherwise was great. The arrival and departure experience and service in the restaurant and bar were absolutely stellar. I will definitely be back on my next trip to LA (and am counting down the days)!
