@MacMyDay loves a great spa. My husband and other friends seem to think the best spas in LA are (in no particular order) the Bel-Air, the Peninsula, and the Montage. So that might be worth thinking about, too.

The Bel Air is s very special property. Gorgeous grounds, beautiful suites with a strong sense of place. I am not so enthusiastic about the public areas; nonetheless, the Bel Air is the quintessential SoCal hotel.

Don't even consider Four Seasons in LA... frightful, both of them. I think you would be very comfortable at Hotel Bel Air. I wouldn't for settle anything less than Dorchester there... best hospitality in SoCal.
I suspect you won't be exactly wow'ed by the Spa at Hotel Bel Air, knowing you love great facilities. Actually it's tough to find anything world class in LA when it comes to wellness.
Having said that, Hotel Bel Air is one of my favorite hotels worldwide.

I've spent numerous nights at the BHH, Bel Air and FS (BH), and whilst I agree that the latter is a notch below the others, I think you are being unfair. The rooms and service are decent, food is good and the pool is nice. The rooms have also recently been given a facelift. Location is excellent, and there are some amazing views (sunset or sunrise) from the rooms on the higher floors. Perfect it may not be, but neither is it frightful. The FS on Wilshere is another story....!

What about Bacara? Why not go for ocean views rather than somewhere in a concrete jungle?
Nvmd. This is about Beverly Hills and Bacara seems to now be an RC, which doesn't seem like a good sign.

This has not been my experience at the Bel-Air - no problem with the furniture at all - our casitas have all been really comfortable.

So after skimming this thread it seems I should put my dreams aside of wanting to stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel away. But still looking to stay in this area. Can anyone suggest a nice luxury type hotel for a family who dresses casual (not sure if that info was needed 
). We would only be staying for 3-4 days and could use Hilton or Chase points if needed. TIA

There will be people far dressier...but also people who are just as casual and relaxed. Enjoy. That (and our weather) are why we SoCal denizens are so happy.

Not if the rate isn't showing available for your dates. However, you can still get a confirmed upgrade (up to the Jr. Suite category) and a $100 hotel credit (that can come off your bill) by using a Dorchester Diamond Club TA.

Tempted by the 3 for 2 plus ability to self park for free at FS LA. Has anyone had a recent stay in the renovated rooms?
Want to stay on the west side and while I prefer Hotel Bel Air, the savings for my dates would be significant enough I’m thinking about it
