Montage Laguna Beach


Nestled along the scenic Pacific Coastline, Montage Laguna Beach offers a taste of Southern California culture and heritage in the heart of Laguna Beach, halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. The luxury resort—known for its impressive craftsman-style architecture, prominent plein-air art collection and a casually elegant decor that evokes the shimmering sand and surf just steps away—promises guests sweeping sea views from the 250 rooms and suites, each with a private balcony. Visitors also enjoy such outdoor pleasures as golden beaches, meandering bluff-top trails, silvery coastal gardens, and an expansive pool terrace for soaking up the California sun.

Conveniently located between two major metropolitan areas and a mere 30-minute drive from Orange County's John Wayne Airport, Montage Laguna Beach presents an ideal choice for business retreats, conventions and incentive getaways. Its 14,500 square feet of flexible indoor meeting space includes a 7,500-square-foot ballroom, a junior ballroom measuring 3,200 square feet, and several additional meeting rooms and boardrooms. Outside, four ocean-view lawns offer options for a variety of events, from intimate to grand. Also on-site, a full-service business center and well-versed support staff offering assistance around the clock.

The resort's spectacular setting and amenities invite guests to mix business with pleasure. Golf, sportfishing, and kayaking top the activities list, while Spa Montage offers the ultimate in relaxation with the unique Surrender Program. The resort emanates an atmosphere of escape and relaxation. From acclaimed restaurants to the ocean breezes, Montage mixes business with an elevated level of pleasure.

Superb - beautiful. The best of the Orange County properties with a price to match. if you really want to put on the dog and impress your guests, this is the spot. Extremely professional service, highly-trained staff. Lovely restos, the nicest spa I have ever been in and I have been in many. I found the pool a little crowded.

I discovered this property by attending the Elite Meetings Alliance in 2007. I had my meeting planned at the Four Seasons where I had been the previous two years, but made the change and was that a great decision. This is a property that you must experience. It is a little piece of Heaven. I am taking our guests there again this year and everyone is excited. The service is beyond anything you would imagine - a 20 out of a 10 (see what I mean??). You can be there for a couple of hours and feel like you have been there for days. In addition, I learned that they are building a Montage in Beverly Hills and I am on the list to be one of the first events there when they are ready to accept bookings. I can't wait!!!

Excellent facility for high-level executive meeting. Service from start to finish was absolutely the best. I never heard the word "no."

We used this for our top client event in 2006. We received extremely high ratings from our clients on the event and the venue. All staff, both conference and guest services were fabulous during the event and worked hard to make it a success for us over the three day event. I would definitely take a top client event back to this location. This is a popular hotel so the upfront planning with the hotel was not as flexible and there was alot of back and forth negotiations, but when the hotel committed to do something they executed extremely well. They also empowered their convention services staff to make decisions which really helped with negotiations.
