The honest take
Both sit at 9.6, but they are different holidays. Hotel Bel-Air is $1,408 a night, tucked into Stone Canyon with no facilities the Maybourne has that it lacks; the Maybourne Beverly Hills is $1,050, in the middle of Beverly Hills, with a rooftop pool and hot tub the Bel-Air doesn't list. If you want quiet and garden and don't need a rooftop scene, book the Bel-Air. If you want to walk to Rodeo Drive and swim above the city, book the Maybourne and pocket the difference.
The look and the feel
Hotel Bel-Air
Hotel Bel-Air is old Los Angeles at its most hidden: pink stucco bungalows scattered through eleven acres of subtropical garden in Stone Canyon, a stone bridge over a pond where swans actually live, and a lobby that smells faintly of jasmine and wood polish rather than anything you could name. The Bar, with its fireplace and grand piano, is the kind of room where studio deals and quiet affairs have both been conducted for eighty years, low light, leather, no view of the street because there is no street to see. Rooms lean traditional English country house filtered through California - chintz softened into linen, white bedding, French doors onto private patios - built for guests who want to disappear rather than be seen.
Best for couples and anyone who wants total privacy, garden, and old Hollywood atmosphere over walkability.
The Maybourne Beverly Hills
The Maybourne Beverly Hills, the group behind Claridge's and The Connaught bringing their London polish to Canon Drive, is a newer, more urbane proposition: pale stone, brass detailing, a rooftop pool deck that looks out over the low roofline of Beverly Hills toward the hills beyond. The Terrace restaurant sits above Beverly Canon Gardens, so you eat looking down on a small manicured park rather than up at canyon trees. It has the crisp, tailored feel of a Mayfair hotel transplanted intact - good tailoring rather than romance, built for people who want to be five minutes from Rodeo Drive and still order properly.
Best for guests who want to be in the thick of Beverly Hills, with a rooftop pool and easy access to shopping and the arena circuit.
Booking the Maybourne over the Bel-Air costs you the swan pond, the private canyon setting and that particular hush of Stone Canyon - nothing on the amenity list is missing, the loss is atmosphere and seclusion, not facilities.
The Bel-Air is the more beautiful place to actually be, because its garden and canyon setting can't be replicated on a rooftop in the middle of the city.

“Amazing stay and easily one of the best hotels we’ve been to.”
As expected, this was probably one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The look and feel of the hotel is an experience in itself, and the whole place feels incredibly calm, luxurious, and well thought through. It’s also in a great location for spending a few days in LA. We were upgraded to a much bigger room for our stay, which made it feel even more special. The room was super comfortable, spacious, spotless, an
We honestly couldn’t fault it!
