The Restaurant at Hotel Bel-Air

"Even if you don't stay here, you might consider a cocktail at the cozy bar; or brunch, lunch, or dinner either inside the highly regarded and ultraromantic restaurant, or on the flower-filled outdoor terrace"

"Wolfgang Puck at Bel-Air is the main restaurant in the hotel serving California cuisine with Mediterranean touches"

"Taking advantage of the eternally blue skies, all public spaces incorporate the outdoors: a retracting roof over the restaurant, lovely alfresco seating in the bar, and patios in the spa"

"Leafy and low-key (we love the outdoor fireplaces), it exudes intimacy and restrained luxury, from the plush, living-room-style lobby with central fireplace to the dark, slinky bar and discreet alcoves of Wolfgang Puck's outstanding Californian restaurant"

"The additions—which include new lofts and hillside suites, a La Prairie spa and fitness center, plus upgraded room features—are impressive, but thankfully the overall vibe hasn't changed much: Guests still enjoy spending long afternoons by the pool, meandering through the gardens or subtly trying to spot which Hollywood player is sitting at the next table in the Wolfgang Puck restaurant"
