About HOTEL BEL AIR PTY LTD
Hotel Bel Air is a small, colonial-style hotel located in Bel Air, a residential district on the island of Mahé in the Seychelles. Operating as a private limited company under the name HOTEL BEL AIR PTY LTD, the property reopened in August 2013 following a full refurbishment. The hotel positions itself as a quiet retreat away from the main tourist strips, offering visitors a base from which to explore the wider island and its beaches.
Location & Setting
The Bel Air neighbourhood sits in the hills near Victoria, the Seychellois capital, placing the hotel within easy reach of the city centre, the main port, and the cross-island road network leading to beaches such as Beau Vallon. The property retains a colonial architectural character and is set within a garden, giving it a residential atmosphere rather than that of a large resort. Mahé is the largest island in the archipelago and the principal gateway for international arrivals.

The hotel reopened after a full refurbishment in 2013 — does it still retain its original colonial character?
