Overview

The fine art of the getaway

Every element is in place for an idyllic retreat: A refined resort perched high on a coastal bluff. Pristine, white sand beaches below. And the picturesque arts community of Laguna Beach all around. Montage Laguna Beach offers a seaside destination unlike any other, pairing extraordinary amenities with the genuine warmth of a cozy, Craftsman-style estate. It's the ideal Southern California beach retreat, whether you're seeking a restorative midweek or weekend vacation, planning a small to mid-size meeting, or hosting a romantic wedding reception.

Montage Laguna Beach has received award-winning distinction for its comfortably elegant accommodations, ocean-inspired spa and distinctive regional dining. Three sparkling swimming pools, onsite activities and access to outstanding tennis, golf and the town's vibrant arts community will keep guests as active and engaged as they wish to be.

The artistry of Laguna Beach reaches back to the early 1900's, when artists - inspired by the area's raw natural beauty - settled here. In that spirit, the history and beauty of the region prevail at Montage. Here, the resort's décor and architecture artfully meld with the surrounding natural beachfront habitat. Museum-quality fine art that reflects the early California Arts & Crafts movement is prominently showcased, as are stunning works of art by noted regional artists.

From the gracious Craftsman-inspired architecture and rugged coastline views to the bounty of services and amenities, Montage Laguna Beach offers a rejuvenating blend of nature, art and pleasure.

DESIGN CONCEPT

Now a renowned artists' colony, Laguna Beach's artistic beginnings date back to the early 1900s - the heyday of the California Arts & Crafts movement. With distinctive period elements such as classic wood and stone architecture, crown moldings, rich dark wood, copper gutters and a shingle-style roof, the beachfront resort's unique Craftsman-style design reflects this bygone era.

The 250 spacious guestrooms, including 60 suites, ranging in size from 500 - 2,800 square-feet, and 37 beach bungalow-style rooms, make Montage Laguna Beach the distinctive choice among Laguna Beach luxury hotels. Elegantly appointed guestrooms are decorated in an inviting turn-of-the-century style, with dark wood furnishings, white crown moldings, stylish light fixtures, muted color schemes, and authentic artwork by noted California artists. Each guestroom has a private oceanfront balcony and a spectacular view of the Laguna Beach coastline.
