Hotel Bel-Air, Dorchester Collection

Receive the star treatment at Hotel Bel-Air, whose glamorous aura was skillfully enhanced by designer Alexandra Champalimaud. Sure to amaze are the seven one-of-a-kind suites; all offer grand, residential-style living with large garden patios and fireplaces — some have Jacuzzis. With more than 12 acres of landscaped gardens — including a tranquil lake complete with swans — this luxurious Spanish mission–style urban oasis has long been favored by celebrities seeking luxurious seclusion. Yet you might see one dining in its legendary restaurant, overseen by Wolfgang Puck and certified by The California Green Business Network (CAGBN).
