As Montage Beverly Hills Celebrates Its Second Anniversary, What Goals And Challenges Will The Next Two Years Bring?
Our ongoing objective is to elevate every aspect of the Montage Beverly Hills experience by building on our core strengths. We strive to create lasting memories and new traditions for our guests through attentive, personalized service, refined comfort, and a strong sense of place within Beverly Hills. Each stay is designed to feel like a home away from home, with thoughtful touches that leave a lasting impression.
We are actively promoting Beverly Hills as a premier travel destination by partnering with local businesses and residents to showcase the city’s best attractions. Montage Beverly Hills sits just steps from Rodeo Drive—the world-renowned center of fashion and luxury shopping—alongside exceptional dining on Canon Drive and famous Hollywood landmarks. This prime location allows us to curate experiences that connect guests with the distinctive energy and charm of the area.
One challenge we face is winning the loyalty of travelers who traditionally return to the same hotel. Many visitors to Beverly Hills show strong preference for familiar accommodations, so our priority is to introduce these guests to the Montage spirit: a blend of warm hospitality, thoughtful amenities, and an inviting atmosphere. Once guests experience our level of service, attention to detail, and welcoming environment, they tend to become repeat visitors.
What Innovative Changes Will You Introduce?
We do not plan to alter the established look and style of Montage Beverly Hills; our property already offers exceptional accommodations and modern amenities. While we embrace state-of-the-art technology, our most meaningful innovations will be in the guest experience—through elevated service standards, a renewed commitment to sustainability, and programming that creates memorable moments. These advancements are focused on enhancing comfort, convenience, and emotional connection rather than changing the hotel’s elegant character.
What Differentiates Montage Beverly Hills From Other Hotels In The Neighborhood?
At Montage Beverly Hills we believe that excellence without warmth feels aloof. Our approach pairs refined luxury with genuine hospitality: attentive, humble, and sincere service delivered by a dedicated team. This blend—luxury tempered by approachability—is uncommon in hospitality and sets us apart in Beverly Hills. From the moment guests arrive until departure, they are met by gracious associates who exemplify the Montage ethos, ensuring every stay feels personal and deeply considered.

Tell Our Readers About Your Career In The Hospitality Industry.
Hospitality is part of my heritage as a second-generation hotelier. While studying at the University of Denver’s School of Hotel Management, I worked as a doorman at the Brown Palace Hotel, an experience that grounded me in service from the start. My career then took me around the globe in various hotel roles, including an 18-year tenure with Ritz-Carlton Hotels where I helped open properties internationally. I most recently served as general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Cancún. Leading Montage Beverly Hills is an exciting next chapter that allows me to engage with a new culture, clientele, and set of opportunities while continuing to refine the guest experience.
