LOS ANGELES–Hotel Bel-Air is proud to announce plans for their new spa, a 12,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, secluded amid the hotel’s 12 lush acres. The extensive project will break ground this September and debut in August 2008. Located in the north section of the property, the spa will feature 10 individual, private spa suites, a yoga and Pilates studio, an organic juice bar and a 1,000 square foot fitness center. In addition, three residential spa suite guestrooms have been added, bringing the total count to 94 rooms, with in-room treatment areas and facilities. As with the hotel, guests’ privacy is the first priority at the spa offering private changing and shower areas within each suite. “After many years of lobbying closely with the Bel-Air Association and our neighbors, we are thrilled to be able to offer this new amenity to our guests,” said Carlos Lopes, Hotel Bel-Air Managing Director. “The spa promises to be an extension of what our guests already love about the Bel-Air — exceptional service, distinct luxury and ultimate privacy. The community of Bel-Air is one of the most private and exclusive neighborhoods in the country, making this spa a truly unique amenity for guests and neighbors alike.” The hotel has employed the expertise of Leo A Daly, an internationally renowned architecture, planning, engineering and interior design firm. The firm’s portfolio includes projects in 50 countries, all 50 states and the District of Columbia and has worked with nearly every major hotel company and many private hotel owners in the U.S. and abroad. Leo A Daly consistently ranks in the top five largest architecture/engineering firms and the top 10 interior design firms in the United States. The two-story spa has been designed in keeping with the hotel’s original character, featuring traditional Spanish Colonial-style architecture, pink stucco exteriors, red tile roofs and lush landscaping. The interior décor will continue to draw inspiration from the hotel’s Tuscan style with hardwood floors, private terraces and soothing fountains. The trellised gardens will be a haven for guests featuring oversized Jacuzzis and plunge pools, a lounging area, and fountains.
