    What makes Montage Beverly Hills different from other hotels?

    Montage Beverly Hills is different from other hotels for a number of reasons, such as its excellent location; exclusive children's program, Paintbox; and 201 well-appointed guestrooms, including 55 suites. We have two outstanding restaurants, including the renowned Scarpetta, which offers an alfresco dining experience with soulful Italian cuisine by acclaimed celebrity chef, Scott Conant. The executive pastry chef is Richard Ruskell, who won "Best Cake Artist in America" on the Food Network.

    Our bar £10 is an uncommon, modern-day spirits experience that specializes in a blend of prized labels, handcrafted ingredients, attentive and gracious service, and a vivacious social ambiance. It's a secluded hideaway for savoring The Macallan, the finest single-malt Scotch on the market and the symbol of affluent, well-traveled connoisseurs of sophisticated pours. The Macallan lounge is the first and only of its kind in the United States. The bar is an intimate retreat with an alluring mystique that captures the essence of the global cocktail culture. It is decorated with one of the most extensive installations of Lalique crystal in the world and one-of-a-kind decanters. Plus, £10 has an outdoor terrace, adorned in rich, contemporary furnishings, overlooking the Beverly Canon Gardens. Our expert mixologists are well-versed in the art of club service, creating classic cocktails with an innovative, modern twist. They craft authentic presentations, served in Lalique crystal glassware, with perfect ice pairings, including hand-pressed spheres of imported Scottish Highlands water. A hand-selected collection of iconic, limited-production wines and spirits showcase rare expressions and masterpieces, such as 50-, 55- and 57-year-old editions of The Macallan. A carefully paired menu of tantalizing offerings complements the spirit sampling, from caviar to bison tartare and lobster rolls.

    The 20,000-square-foot Spa Montage is the largest spa out of all the other Five-Star hotels in Beverly Hills and is the most comprehensive health, wellness and beauty spa in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. The restorative day spa treats Los Angeles residents to a resort-style experience, whether for an hour-long treatment or a day-long indulgence. It is a true destination spa in the heart of a captivating city. Prompt, polished service is rendered in a gracious, engaged and humble manner, customized to the needs of business and leisure guests. A blend of classic comfort and convenient technology makes every visit effortless and efficient. We deliver a gracious approach to hospitality that is genuine, anticipatory and personalized to the sophisticated sensibilities of each Montage Beverly Hills guest. For other beauty services, we have a celebrity colorist at Kim Vo's Salon and in-house fashion stylist Joe Katz.
