Bel-Air is a district in the western region of Los Angeles, California.
Part of the self-styled “Golden Triangle,” which includes equally trendy locales Beverly Hills and Holmby Hills, the Bel-Air community was founded in 1923 by Alphonzo E. Bell, Sr. The fashionable district is located about 12 miles from downtown Los Angeles and is situated between the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains and the north side of the nearby UCLA campus.
