Celebrating its 15^th year anniversary, Montage Laguna Beach unveils a newly refreshed Lobby Lounge with a breezy new palette, fresh modern furnishings and a new menu with gourmet teas and coffees and light breakfast offerings and desserts.

As the resort’s centerpiece, the Lobby Lounge sets the stage for the iconic Montage experience, evoking a “wow” factor when guests enter and take in the stunning Pacific Ocean panoramas. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and indoor and outdoor seating allow guests to unwind and soak in the true California beach experience.

Following an extensive renovation, the new Lobby Lounge captures the California beach lifestyle with a sun-splashed transitional style, accentuated by California plein air artwork and plush new furnishings.

The Lobby Lounge now serves breakfast choices, such as fresh pastries and homemade granola, accompanied by coffee and tea service starting at 6:30 a.m. There’s a new Modbar espresso system, which uses Vittoria Coffee. And, Grand Cru Valrhona is highlighted in three unique chocolate beverages. Desserts, served daily until 10 p.m., include crème brûlée, matcha tiramisu, and a Viennese-style chocolate cake.

Beginning Sunday, April 8, a new social hour takes place Sunday through Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m., offering 25% off the Lobby Lounge menu. Also, an array of craft cocktails have been created by the resort’s beverage manager Troy Smith, with new quaffs including, the Cool Cucumber (Plymouth Gin, Verjus, cucumber, grapefruit essence, egg white); Wilson (Aalborg Akvavit, Suze, grapefruit and pineapple); and Purple Rain (Greenbar Lemon Vodka, Licor 43, concord grape juice, lemon).

All craft cocktails, beers, spirits and wines by the glass are served until 12:30 a.m. daily. In addition, the Lobby Lounge features daily live entertainment starting at 3 p.m.

Montage Laguna Beach is at 30801 Coast Highway in Laguna Beach.
