ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., Jan. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Twenty years ago, Montage Hotels & Resorts opened its doors to its flagship resort, Montage Laguna Beach, set along 30 oceanfront acres on the iconic coast of Southern California.

This year, Montage Hotels & Resorts will honor its two decades of Montage memories with an invitation for guests and locals to enjoy a signature curation of brand partnerships and special anniversary programming.

"We are incredibly proud and appreciative to be celebrating 20 years of Montage Hotels & Resorts," said Alan J. Fuerstman, founder, chairman, and CEO of Montage International. "From the day we opened Montage Laguna Beach on its beautiful coastal bluff home in 2003, we have remained steadfast in our vision of creating new and exceptional luxury experiences with a high level of gracious and intuitive service in remarkable destinations. In the year to come, we look forward to recognizing this anniversary milestone with our global family of guests and residents, our local communities, and our valued associates."
