Bel Air Information

Bel Air is a small neighborhood in the Westside region of Los Angeles, California. It is notable for its affluence and famous residents. Iconic celebrities who have lived in Bel Air estates include filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, actor Leonard Nimoy, and actress Elizabeth Taylor. As the upscale neighborhood spans less than 6.5 square miles and is home to merely several thousand residents, Bel Air has one of the lowest population densities in Los Angeles County.

The heart of the Bel Air community comprises the historic Hotel Bel-Air, American Jewish University, and Bel-Air Country Club. Boasting a nostalgic Hollywood ambiance and acres of surrounding gardens, Hotel Bel-Air is a picturesque boutique hotel that once housed celebrity guests such as actress Audrey Hepburn, actor Paul Newman, and singer Judy Garland. The hotel provides dozens of fantastic photo ops with its lovely gardens and glitzy décor. The American Jewish University features many galleries and museums to educate its students and visitors about Judaism. At the university, visitors can explore the Borstein Art Gallery, Marjorie and Herman Platt Gallery, and Ostrow Library which has one of the largest collections of Jewish media and electronic resources on the West Coast. Founded in 1925, the Bel-Air Country Club is a culturally significant spot that serves as the neighborhood’s primary social club. It offers tennis courts and an 18-hole golf course.

Santa Monica is located about a half an hour’s drive south from Bel Air. The beachside city is renowned for its gorgeous sunsets and pier that has carnival rides and fantastic seafood restaurants. Additionally, visitors should also make way toward Third Street Promenade, a vibrant outdoor shopping center that boasts a multitude of local and chain eateries, shops, and entertainment. Heading west from Bel Air with around an hour’s drive, visitors can explore numerous points of interests in Hollywood. From following the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to browsing the shops at the Hollywood and Highland Center, Hollywood is a prominent neighborhood offering an abundance of activities to do and things to see. Moreover, situated about a half an hour’s drive northeast of Hollywood is Griffith Park. Griffith Park has hiking trails, a prominent observatory, and splendid views of the city.

Most of the accommodations in Bel Air reflect the affluent neighborhood’s luxurious reputation. Furthermore, Bel Air vacation rentals offer a quiet, peaceful escape from the otherwise hectic atmosphere of Los Angeles. Tripping.com features a number of Bel-Air properties ranging from modern mansions with infinity pools to gorgeous villas replete with a romantic ambiance and scenic views of the mountains. There are also more modest options such as cozy, gated houses.

The Los Angeles public transit system has very limited service in the small neighborhood of Bel Air. Consequently, driving a car would be the most efficient mode of transportation to navigate in and around Bel Air. Visitors who plan to stay exclusively in the Bel Air area can travel around the neighborhood by biking and walking.
