The Hotel Bel-Air is a small hotel located in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California. Since opening in 1946, the 91-room Hotel Bel-Air, located on Stone Canyon Road, has served many celebrities, heads of state and dignitaries. It was originally built by Alphonzo Bell, who developed the area and founded Bel-Air. Originally built as office space, it was purchased in 1946 and converted into a hotel by Joseph Drown. The hotel is currently owned by Hassanal Bolkiah and is part of the Dorchester Collection group of hotels. Beginning in October 2009, the hotel will close for an 18-month renovation.

Joseph Drown's partner in the Hotel in the early 1950's was Ted Chanock, a former Chicagoan. Chanock and Drown remained partners until Chanock's death in 1973. Chanock's wife, Frances, remained on as a permanent resident as a condition of the Rosewood purchase agreement with the Joseph Drown Estate in the 1980's. |
