Celebrating International Women’s Month at Hotel Bel-Air
March 04, 2020
March marks International Women’s Month, so we’re celebrating by showcasing some of the remarkable women at Hotel Bel-Air.
Denise Flanders, General Manager
As general manager of Hotel Bel-Air, Denise Flanders brings a keen eye for luxury to Los Angeles. After studying social science and psychology, she headed into hospitality, rising to hotel management roles in New York and Chicago. Since joining Dorchester Collection in 2012, Denise has excelled at bringing Hotel Bel-Air to a new era of excellence. She’s passionate about curating magical moments for guests, which has been recognised throughout the industry including Condé Nast Traveler’s ‘Gold List’ and Travel + Leisure’s ‘World’s Best Awards’.
There’s a quote by the famous philosopher Albert Camus that has inspired me throughout my career. It speaks of how ‘great ideas come into the world as gently as doves’ from lots of different sources, emphasising the importance of listening and working together to create a real difference in the world.”
Lucinda Landers, Server Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air
Before Lucinda joined the team at Hotel Bel-Air she was a department store buyer. When the industry took a turn for the worse in the 1990s, a friend asked her if she would be interested in working as a server at the hotel. After 22 years she still loves serving as every day is different. She’s established a wonderful relationship with many of our regular guests and really enjoys seeing them return time and time again.
Tiffany Lai, Director of Sales and Catering Events
After studying hospitality and tourism, Tiffany graduated and took a job in sales for an engineering company. She then moved to Northern California where she became a hotel catering assistant and knew that she had found her calling. Following a couple of catering manager roles, including working at The Beverly Hills Hotel, she moved to become director of sales and catering for Hotel Bel-Air and was a member of the reopening team in 2011.
By not measuring yourself against anyone else, you give yourself permission and freedom to grow exponentially without the hindrance of comparison.

Hotel Bel-Air
A hidden sanctuary amongst the wooded hills, untouched by the clamour of life beyond the gates of Bel-Air. The most quintessentially private and exclusive hotel, delivering low-key elegance since 1946.
