HOTEL BEL-AIR DEBUTS SEASONAL SUMMER EXPERIENCES 

 One of Los Angeles’ most exclusive and storied hideaways, Hotel Bel-Air, a Dorchester Collection hotel, introduces a shimmering season of curated summer programming. Designed to offer guests the best of culinary, wellness, cultural and entertainment experiences, it’s a vibrant roster of activities and events that celebrate the joys of summertime within a private, lush garden setting in the heart of LA. 

During the month of June, The Restaurant at Hotel Bel-Air debuts the new Jet Setter Menu. Offered Monday through Thursday, each evening is inspired by different locations and paired with regional wine selections. Guests can enjoy a taste of Northern Italy with Brown Butter Ravioli, or Chicken Schnitzel showcasing quintessential Viennese flavors paired with a crisp dry Riesling from Alsace. For more information, please visit HERE. 

As part of the hotel’s art exhibition series developed by Lily Ackerman and CURA Art, Nathan Mabry’s ‘Bird Watchers’ features the acclaimed LA-based artist’s playful sculptures – which merge found metal parts with bird forms – dispersed throughout the property’s expansive grounds. From June 19 to October 4. For more information, please visit HERE. 

Hotel Bel-Air’s new Garden Afternoon Tea draws inspiration from the vibrant botanicals throughout the hotel’s lush gardens. Chino Valley Organic Egg Sandwiches, Swan Cream Puffs and domed, smooth Princess Cakes are 

among the colourful pastries and light bites infused with locally inspired ingredients, complemented by an artful selection of fresh teas. It’s served in The Living Room – an enchanting space that’s recently been reimagined to echo the serene gardens beyond, with hummingbirds, jasmine and citrus blossoms on the walls. Available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For more information, please visit HERE. 

The hotel’s much-loved outdoor Movies Under the Stars series returns this July and August with a new lineup of iconic films. Whether living the full LA experience with the modern classic La La Land, enjoying the heartwarming rom-com Pretty Woman, or diving into the action of star-studded heist comedy Ocean’s Eleven, this fun-filled series has become a summer staple for guests and locals alike. Each screening includes popcorn, candy and chocolate, as well as the option to purchase dishes from our à la carte menu and film-inspired desserts – all delivered and served seat-side.
