Hotel Bel-Air is an elegant hideaway within the hills of one of the most exclusive L.A. neighborhoods. For decades, the signature pink property has been beloved by celebrities and notable figures, including Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, and Princess Diana. Accommodations are airy and bright and combine old-world glamour with contemporary style. Most of the 103 guest rooms and suites open directly onto gardens. (The 12-acre property has more than 1,200 types of plants.)
While it has undergone refreshes since it opened in the 1940s, the hotel recently added two new dining experiences. The Patisserie, an intimate bakery, offers house-made pastries, savory bites, and artisanal coffee and teas, while the Living Room serves afternoon tea, light lunches, and specialty cocktails.
