Bel Air is known to television audiences as the setting for the long-running Fresh Prince of Bel Air, which starred Will Smith. The community largely matches the portrayal on the show; Bel Air is a very affluent area located in the greater metropolitan region of Los Angeles, California. The three well-to-do communities of Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills, and Bel Air form what has come to be called the "Platinum Triangle.
Bel Air borders the Santa Monica Mountains as well as the campus of the University of California in Los Angeles. In addition, it is the home city of large numbers of television and motion picture celebrities.
The Bel Air International Film Festival
One reason to book a stay in vacation rentals in Bel Air is the opportunity to attend the Bel Air International Film Festival. A fairly new event, it has been in operation since 2008.

Vibrato Grill Jazz
One interesting place to eat is Vibrato Grill Jazz located on Beverly Glen Circle in Bel Air. Featured dishes include Meyer lemon meringue, short ribs served with caramelized turnips, and prime porterhouse steak.
