Winter in Los Angeles

December 17, 2020

Lifestyle and Los Angeles are one and the same; see our sampling of life under the Californian sun starting with a relaxing moment with the celebrated swans on the lush grounds of Hotel Bel-Air.

The Swan Lake at Hotel Bel-Air

The Swan Lake at Hotel Bel-Air is the home of three beautiful white swans which float serenely amongst tropical greenery. Over 483 specimens of trees and more than 4,000 plants surround paths that weave through the hotel grounds for an incredible oasis.

An extra special staycation

Hotel Bel-Air is determined to spoil its guests with ‘extra’ special offers to enrich one’s stay – without ever leaving hotel grounds or one’s room or suite, if desired. Experiences include: a bespoke picnic basket from Wolfgang Puck; a California market-inspired tasting menu for in-room or private patio dining; a create-your-own-cocktail trolley with necessary ingredients for mixing the hotel’s signature drink, Pepino’s Revenge or a selection of spa packages including invigorating aromatherapy treatments.
