"I have always called this place Shangri la. It is paradise in every sense with lush beautiful grounds, easy to get to, quiet and serene with an outdoor dining area built to accommodate the native flora and fauna. And the private cubby holes in which one may dine are like mini opera boxes overlooking a small stream. The Hotel Bel-Air is elegant and lovely and the tea service (while always good) just seems to get better over the years. This is one of my top 10 tea spots" ~Staff, 2008
