Editor's note: In April 2008, the Bel Age re-opened as The London West Hollywood.
"Hell's Kitchen" is coming to West Hollywood. Gordon Ramsay, the British chef who terrorizes wannabe cooks on his Fox TV reality show, is opening a restaurant at the Bel Age at 1020 N. San Vicente Blvd. But first, the 1980s-era hotel, known for big rooms and faded decor, will close May 15, 2007 for a yearlong makeover that will include a David Collins redesign and a Golden Door Spa. It will reemerge as London West Hollywood, overseen by the same company that opened London NYC last year. The Bel Age will host a sale May 18-20, 2007 of more than 1,100 artworks by Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Erté and others that decorated its walls.
