Hotel Bel-Air is located at 701 Stone Canyon Road in the Bel Air Estates neighborhood of Los Angeles, just outside Beverly Hills and Westwood. The hotel occupies 12 acres of gardens featuring ficus, fig, palms, and continuously blooming flowers. Swan Lake runs through the grounds, crossed by foot bridge to reach the hotel entrance. The setting reflects the property's original 1922 design as a themed oasis.
The hotel contains 103 rooms, of which 45 are suites. The accommodations follow an Old Hollywood design aesthetic established when the property was converted to a hotel in 1946.
Hotel Bel-Air was originally built in 1922 on 60 acres by Alphonzo Bell. In 1946, Texan entrepreneur Joseph Drown purchased the property and, working with architect Burton Schutt, transformed it into a luxury hotel. The grounds were redesigned as an oasis centered on Swan Lake.
After Drown's death in the 1980s, the hotel passed to the Hunt family of Texas and became part of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. In 1995, Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei purchased the property. The Dorchester Collection, owned by the Brunei Investment Agency, acquired the hotel in 2008 and undertook a two-year major renovation before reopening in October 2011.
Hotel Bel-Air has historically served celebrities, heads of state, and dignitaries. The hotel's setting in Bel Air Estates, surrounded by private gardens, and its Old Hollywood design reflect its heritage since opening in 1946.
