Los Angeles, California
If I could choose one place to stay every time I’m in LA, it would be Hotel Bel-Air. The history of Hotel Bel-Air dates back to the early 20th century, making it one of the most iconic and historic landmarks in Los Angeles. With it’s lush, tropical setting, it’s so easy to feel like I’ve escaped the city and found my way to a literal 12-acre pink paradise. With it’s exclusive & serene setting, this hidden gem is where discerning travelers and celebrities alike can maintain their privacy and unwind.
Part of the Dorchester Collection of luxury hotels, Hotel Bel-Air is one of 11 hotels worldwide, and one of only 2 in Los Angeles. The other being the fabulous Beverly Hills Hotels (another feature entirely)!


The hotel offers a range of luxurious rooms, suites, and private villas, each designed with elegant interiors and modern amenities, including cozy fireplaces. Other amenities include the always fantastic Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air outdoor restaurant as well as a spa and stately pool that has surely witnessed the most glamorous guests.


To add more intrigue, there is even a gorgeous, tranquil lake that meanders through the property and houses swans. Yes, actual, live swans. A stay here will cost at minimum $1,200 per night, but I can’t recommend it enough for a true elevated experience.
