Fodor's Review:

Laguna's connection to the Californian plein air artists is mined for inspiration at this head-turning, lavish hotel. The Montage uses the local Craftsman style as a touchstone. Shingled buildings ease down a bluff to a sandy cove; inside, works by contemporary and early-20th-century California artists snare your attention. Guest rooms balance ease and refinement; all have ocean views and amenities such as CD/DVD players and extra-deep tubs. Of the restaurants, Studio is the fanciest, with more sweeping Pacific views and a refined contemporary menu. At the 20,000-square foot oceanfront spa and fitness center, you can indulge in a sea-salt scrub, take a yoga class, or hit the lap pool. Pros : top-notch service; idyllic coastal location; special programs for all interests, from art to marine biology. Cons : pricey; food inconsistent given the prices.

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary night here on Dec. 5th last year. All I can say is "WOW" this place is truly stunning and amazing. The property is situated in a gorgeous setting, steps lead down to the ocean where we enjoyed sunning and relaxing. The room was very nicely appointed and the bathroom was very nice with a soaking tub, full bath amenities and music piped into the bath, candles are also provided and a nice loofah.
We dined at The Studio which was perfect and the next morning at The Loft for breakfast. I had a hair appointment at the salon there with a very good stylist. She gave me some Sparkling Wine when my haircut was finished was very nice. She also offered me Champagne when I arrived for my style.
The pool area is stunning, the service first-class. It was a night I will always remember and I hope we can return again sometime.
