The Bar at Hotel Bel-Air

Walking across Hotel Bel-Air’s cobblestone bridge feels like being transported to a hidden estate deep in the Italian countryside. This is one of the city’s most luxurious hotel properties, nestled in a Bel-Air canyon that couldn’t possibly be ten minutes from the 405. A night here is not cheap, so we like to just cozy up to the bar and just pretend we’re staying all week. The Art Deco space opens daily at 3pm and features comfy sitting areas, a roaring fireplace (even in the summer), and the opportunity to feel as rich as you want.
