Selected answer:Ramada is a hotel chain. Beal Air sounds like they are being funny for Bel Air.
Explanation:
Ramada is an ordinary hotel chain (not just 'a' hotel, the Bel Air is a famous luxury hotel. There is no such thing as the Hotel Beal Air-which is why I assume it's a comedy .


The Hotel Bel-Air is a 5-star boutique hotel located in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California.

Since opening in 1946, the 91-room Hotel Bel-Air, located on Stone Canyon Road, has served many celebrities, heads of state and dignitaries. It was founded and owned by Texas born and Southern California real-estate magnate Joseph Drown.

The hotel has been on Mobil five star list more than any other hotel in California and enjoys numerous accolades including "#1 in the U.S." by Travel and Leisure, rated "#1 Boutique Hotel in the U.S." by Departures Magazine, and was recently listed as one of the "Top 25 Hotels, Past 25 Years" by Institutional Investor.

In addition to the completion of a $20M renovation of all guest rooms, suites and public areas, Hotel Bel-Air will be unveiling a 12,000 day spa featuring individual spa suites, outdoor Jacuzzis and world-class treatments (Fall of 2008).

The hotel is owned by Hassanal Bolkiah, the current Sultan of Brunei.
