Now a renowned artists' colony, Laguna Beach's artistic beginnings date back to the early 1900s - an era when the California Arts & Crafts movement was in its heyday. With distinctive period elements such as classic wood and stone architecture, crown moldings, rich dark wood, copper gutters and a shingle-style roof, the luxury beach hotel’s unique craftsman-style design reflects this bygone era.

The 250 spacious guestrooms, including 60 suites ranging in size from 800 - 2,800 square-feet and 37 beach bungalow-style rooms, make Montage Laguna Beach the preferred choice among Laguna Beach luxury hotels.

Luxuriously appointed guestrooms are decorated in an elegant, inviting turn-of-the-century style, with dark wood furnishings, crown moldings, stylish light fixtures, muted color schemes, and authentic artwork by noted California artists. Each room in this beach hotel has a private oceanfront balcony and a spectacular view of the Laguna Beach coastline.

Montage Laguna Beach is situated in one of the country's foremost artistic communities, so the perpetuation and appreciation of the arts is a key component of the property and its location.

Four works of public art by noted regional artists were commissioned and are on display throughout the resort: a porcelain-tiled wall mural depicting sea life by Dora De Larios (located on the spa pool wall facing the ocean); an ornate bronze sculpture of a California landscape by Terry Thornsley (at the ballroom courtyard entrance); an in-laid "Pate de verre" style glass work by John Barber (at the Resort entrance); and two bronze sculpters of mythical creatures by Cheryl Ekstrom (on the Pacific Lawn).
