Montage Hotels & Resorts

Montage Hotels & Resorts is an ultra-luxury hospitality brand founded in 2002 by Alan Fuerstman and based in Irvine, California. It operates as part of Montage International and focuses on managing a curated portfolio of high-end hotels, resorts, and branded residences in premier destinations across the United States and Mexico. The brand is positioned at the top tier of the luxury market, emphasizing personalized service, elegant design, and immersive experiences that foster strong emotional connections with guests.

A defining characteristic of Montage is its “sense of place” philosophy, where each property is designed to reflect the culture, architecture, and natural environment of its location—whether coastal, mountain, or urban. Guests can expect refined accommodations, award-winning dining, world-class spas, and curated lifestyle experiences, all delivered with a highly attentive and personalized approach to service. This combination of comfort, authenticity, and sophistication is central to the brand’s goal of creating memorable, lasting experiences.

The portfolio includes flagship properties such as Montage Laguna Beach, Montage Deer Valley, and Montage Los Cabos, along with newer developments and residential offerings that extend the brand into long-term luxury living. Beyond its properties, Montage also emphasizes community engagement and sustainability, integrating environmental stewardship and local outreach into its operations. Overall, Montage Hotels & Resorts has built a reputation as a leading name in ultra-luxury hospitality, known for blending distinctive locations with consistently high standards of service and design.

In 2025, Departure Lounge luxury travel advisors reserved more than $3.2 million in stays for its clients at Montage, making the agency one of the top producers for the brand. Departure Lounge clients are a high priority for complimentary Montage upgrades and VIP amenities, and our advisors’ relationships with on-property Montage execs results in truly customized stays that elevate the travel experience well beyond the typical.
