I am relatively new to this travel site and find it wonderful for information on locations around the world. I am trying to catch up on relaying my experiences on our travels this past year. We have had some wonderful experiences and have been very fortunate to find boutique hotels that offer so much more than the "chain hotels" of... more

This place continues to amaze. We spent a week in January and it rained every day but we still had a great time. Upon check-in I asked for another room due to a lack of a dresser in the room. We were upgraded to a grand deluxe room, the only one on the property without a patio or fireplace. It... more

My family and I stayed here for two nights in January 2007. I had grown up in nearby Pacific Palisades and had come here dozens of times over the years for special occasions, Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, etc. The Bel Air Hotel has always been, and continues to be, a fabulous place. It's just a few miles off busy Sunset... more

My and husband and I were guests at the Bel Air in January. Every detail was as close to perfect as you can get. Our room was absolutely lovely with a view of the swans from a bay window and a terrace. High ceilings and lots of windows. The most comfortable bed and beautiful high quality linens...changed daily. Large flat... more

Spent 2 wonderful nights at this charming hotel with my large family. The staff was very accommodating and the atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful. The rooms are spacious and have been updated yet they have preserved the old world charm of the hotel. The Sunday brunch unlike many Los Angeles restaurant establishments make every patron feel welcome and comfortable. The... more

Unfortunately, this hotel did not live up to my expectations at all. I agree with others who have written that you need to "look the part" to get better service. I... more

My wife and I spent 4 days in November at the Hotel Bel Air. We arrived around noon and our room was not yet available, we were treated very cordially and we chose to enjoy lunch on the Terrace. This open air restaurant has the same menu as the dining room, but is an oasis of flowering plants and classic... more

We stayed at the Hotel Bel-Air from 10/29 - 11/1 and, while we really enjoyed our second stay there this year, the service was a little uneven. Specifically, we were treated a little more like the poor cousins this time - which I think is due to the fact that we don't really look or act LA/Bel-Air glamorous, and as... more

We usually stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel when travelling to LA, but wanted to give Hotel Bel Air a try, over an intermediate leg of our 3-week vacation to West USA last summer. We booked 2 rooms on the Getaway Package ( = stay 4 nights pay only 3), direct with the hotel, since it did not show directly... more
