After a two-year closure, the iconic Hotel Bel-Air reopened in mid-October and debuted an extensive renovation. Hotel Bel-Air’s restoration was a collaboration of the design teams of Alexandra Champalimaud and the Rockwell Group.

Wolfgang Puck oversees all of the property’s food and beverage operations, which include the restaurant and bar, room service, catering and events, and the garden terrace. The restaurant is known as Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air, and the menu focuses on modern California cuisine with European and Mediterranean influences.
