Let our guests’ favorite Montage memories inspire your own
Welcome to a special edition of Impressions, brimming with advice from the experts. (Our guests, that is.) Because everyone’s time is precious these days — especially personal time — it’s easier than ever to seek out unbiased, firsthand advice for planning your getaways. To provide you with this fresh perspective, we asked our fans on Facebook for their personal “don’t miss” list of Montage experiences. The results are featured inside this issue (denoted with the “Fan Favorite” seal), as well as some of our very own experts, including Fashion Stylist Joe Katz, tips from the Montage Beverly Hills personal trainer and much more. To all who so generously shared their experiences in our online polls and posts, thank you. And to all who will be inspired by them, welcome.

The Most Memorable Montage Experience
The surprise of slipping into blissfully warmed ski boots. An anniversary remembered. An impromptu invitation to tour the Studio kitchen. The unexpected gift of a handwritten recipe for a favorite dessert. Each Montage guest takes home very personal, unique memories — and we discovered that it’s not easy to tabulate memories. But among the many remembrances our guests shared, we were pleased to find this recurring theme: exceptional service. As one fan wrote, “Every single staff member encountered was professional and courteous, even anticipating my unexpressed wishes.” At Montage, our goal is to create beautiful experiences that guests will treasure for a lifetime. While distinctive settings and amenities are essential to that end, we have always believed that caring, genuine service is just as important. We’re glad you agree.

The Best Ideas for Romance at Montage
Judging from their starry-eyed reminiscences, Montage guests tend to be romantics. We heard of seaside proposals on bended knees…snuggling with s’mores by the fire pit…holding hands on the Studio veranda, and dinner at Vista while watching elk wander through the valley. Although the ideas were as unique as each couple, beautiful settings seemed to enhance the experience for all. At each Montage hotel and resort, guests discover countless, cozy backdrops for romance, from the twinkling city lights of a Beverly Hills rooftop and the crashing rhythms of the Pacific surf to the grandeur of snowcapped mountain peaks. We welcome you to bring someone you love to the Montage setting that speaks most to your heart.
