A little history: In 1946, hotel entrepreneur Joseph Drown bought 18 of the original 600 acres that made up "Bel Air Estates" and began to develop the hotel, aiming to create an elegant pastoral hotel hideaway. He hired architect Burton Schutt to convert the original buildings and build the hotel's 62 rooms. Drown transformed the grounds into lush and tree-filled gardens and added Swan Lake to the picturesque front lawn.

The hotel became a favorite of the rich and famous, and that tradition continues to this day.
