This is the most beautiful hotel (in an urban setting) that
I've ever stayed at. The service is impeccable, but not snobby.
It IS pricey. But you can save some money AND get a complimentary up grade by booking directly on the hotel's website: hotelbelair.com. Also, check out their special packages.
I get to stay at a lot of high end hotels. Without a doubt, this is the finest hotel in LA.
The grounds are magnificent. Flowers everywhere.
Even has a small lake with swans.
It's very private. In LA that is oh so glitzy, It's the kind of place where people go to NOT be seen. (Although I think I saw Nicole Kidman having breakfast.)
The bar is extremely cool. Dark wood. Fireplace. Guy in a tuxedo playing Cole Porter ...or anything you want.
Tip - jackets for guy, but no ties. (This is a very grown-up place for a drink.) Theme: HotelComparison: more expensive than averagePhone: 310.472.1211Directions: Close to Beverly Hills, Westwood, Century City. About 10 minutes from the UCLA campusWebsite: hotelbelair.com
