“Meet me at the Bel-Air Bar,” has become the buzz phrase among young L.A. A-listers, celebrities, and loyal locals who fill the handsome room from early evening ’til the wee small hours. Welcoming and sophisticated, the lively Bar recalls the library of a manor house, at once a romantic setting for couples, a fun spot to meet a friend, and a proper environment for a business chat with its rich, luxuriously comfortable chairs and sofas, classic dark wood and roaring fireplace.
Enjoy an aperitif, sip vintage Champagne, fine wine, cognac, a nice port, or a killer end-of-week Martini. Order a gourmet snack and unwind to the tinkling ivories of talented pianist Antonio Castillo de la Gala. Or settle into a stool at the bustling bar where our friendly bartenders pour some of the best adult drinks in the city, along with a few tales of Hollywood legends who once occupied your seat. When in town, be sure to stop by for our weekly wine tastings, featuring hand-selected picks from California and the world’s top wine-growing regions. No wonder Zagat tagged us the #1 Hotel Bar in Los Angeles.
