Why go to the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Elizabeth Taylor honeymooned six times, when you can stay at the Hotel Bel-Air, where she actually lived (in 1950, with her first husband)? Surrounded by 12 acres of lush gardens, this quiet retreat offers Hollywood glamor with a side of relaxation. After crossing a small bridge suspended over a lake, guests can take a swim in the pool or get a massage at the Valmont Spa. The old-school bar and outdoor restaurant attract a slightly bigger crowd, in case you need a break from your split with reality. Located on the elegant Stone Canyon Road, the hotel is only a short drive from the action of Beverly Hills. —Jeanne Malle
