Bel Air is part of the so-called "Platinum Triangle," a term that refers to three adjoining communities: Bel Air, Beverly Hills and Holmby Hills. The community is approximately 17 miles (27 km) west of downtown Los Angeles and includes some of the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains and borders the north side of UCLA along Sunset Boulevard.
