When is Beverly Hills not Beverly Hills?  Several hotels with Beverly Hills in their names are not even located in Beverly Hills; they are situated in what is conveniently known in the alternate vocabulary of real estatese as 'Beverly Hills adjacent'.  Montage, on the other hand, is not only located in the heart of Beverly Hills, it is a perfect embodiment of the essence of the city. 

While a surprisingly high number of visitors to Beverly Hills still seek to recreate the story of a whore on a shopping spree more than 20 years after the release of Pretty Woman, guests at Montage are somewhat less motivated by film fantasy, instead basing their hotel selection on a preference for refined accommodation and reliable service delivered with the utmost graciousness and professionalism.  So often hotels in the US do 'the best they can' while the rest of the world is simply doing the best; at Montage, it is clear there is no need to qualify what has been established as the norm.  This awareness of quality can be credited in no small part to the leadership of Mr Hermann Elger, the consummate general manager whose cosmopolitan upbringing and vast international experience sets the benchmark for an equally adept team of employees who know no bounds in performing their duties.

Of Montage's 201 rooms, 55 are suites offering an array of spacious and stylish options at the very centre of Beverly Hills.  The boutiques of Rodeo Drive are just two blocks away, as are the private screening rooms of the Paley Centre For Media.  A new performing arts centre nearby will be another cultural attraction in a place better know for its shopping than anything else.

Montage is the California setting of the chic Scarpetta, whose finesse with food here in Beverly Hills mirrors that of the original Scarpetta restaurant located in New York.  Scarpetta's imaginative menu offers an appealing array of dishes, and the pre-dinner cocktails are sublime precursors to the nuanced flavours of chef Scott Conant's brand of culinary excellence.  After dinner drinks are enjoyed upstairs at £10, Montage's exclusive lounge where whisky and champagne are the centres of attention.  Breakfast and lunch are taken in the open air on the rooftop sundeck at The Conservatory Grill or, more discreetly, in one of the private cabanas alongside the swimming pool.

A member of Preferred Hotels, Montage provides further enjoyment for guests in the form if its beautiful, Moroccan-themed Spa Montage, where the magic hands of therapist Parker and his colleagues will rub away the jetlag and revitalise the spirit while bringing a state of relaxation to tired muscles.

While busy delivering the last word in luxury, Montage also listens to the first word in ecofriendliness.  Montage takes Leadership In Energy and Environmental Design as seriously; on top of all that is wonderful about Montage, the property is also the first Gold LEED certified hotel in Southern California.
