Nestled in the canyons of Los Angeles lies the Hotel Bel-Air, an ultra-private hideaway that’s been loved by the glitterati for over 50 years. It was once home to Marilyn Monroe (her cottage is still located on the property), and everyone from Cary Grant to Lauren Bacall, Oprah Winfrey and Russell Crowe have bedded down in one of the hotel’s sumptuously appointed rooms or suites. This hotel is pure old-world, Hollywood luxury—everything from the service to the rooms to the grounds is magnificent. With amenities like daily laundry service, private car service and 24-hour gourmet dining, you will find it hard to leave this nirvana—guaranteed you’ll be planning a return trip for your first, second or third anniversary! Here are five of the Hotel Bel-Air’s highlights:

1. The Grounds. Arriving at the Hotel Bel-Air, you’ll feel as though you’ve been dropped in the middle of paradise. The five-hectare (12-acre) property is located in a wooded canyon on a quiet street in the tony Bel-Air Estates neighbourhood. The gardens here are breathtaking—with more than 200 botanical species onsite, Hotel Bel-Air is always in bloom. Here you’ll find everything from towering palm trees, to lemon, lime and orange trees, mature magnolias and even a four-meter (12 foot) high bird of paradise tree. Also onsite, Hotel Bel-Air’s famous Swan Lake—a quiet, dreamy lily pond, home to the Bel-Air swans that are synonymous with the hotel.
