Montage Laguna beach, Pearl of the Pacific

On the palm-fringed beaches of Laguna Beach, one would imagine the Beach Boys surfing on the huge turquoise waves. This small town, located on the hillside, where many artists have made their home, marries a coast cut by coves and beautiful sandy beaches. A truly charming, clean and secure place that has changed little over the decades and has retained its character. A successful holiday 9,000 kilometres from Paris means making the right choice among the hotels in the region. At Montage Laguna Beach, celebrities, a privileged clientele, appreciate the California lifestyle of one of the few establishments with direct access to the beach. Reflecting early 20th-century Arts & Crafts architecture with grey wood walls, exposed stone, and a shingled roof, this 5-star hotel offers spectacular views of the Pacific. The 262 rooms and suites are each designed with refinement and taste, without ever falling into excess. With a balcony, they invite us to admire the Californian sunsets. As soon as you put your suitcases in your room, you will not fail to go down the small path to take a dip in the ocean or relax at the edge of one of the hotel’s huge swimming pools while enjoying a cocktail. The Montage also shines in terms of gastronomy under the leadership of David Serus. The French chef, originally from Le Mans, is responsible for making the taste buds of a very demanding international clientele salivate.
