The Lobby Lounge

The lounge at the Montage is fantastic for so many reasons:

The view: Day or night, you are getting a phenomenal look at the endless, pensive Pacific.

The pianist: The pianist here knows how to set the mood-Jazzy, sexy, calm.

The beverage list: How baller are you feeling? Here on a date and ready to enjoy their extensive wine list? Or here with girlfriends, feelin' snazzy, looking to munch on their tasty (free!) biscottis with a cup of hot chocolate?

The staff: I've never been less than impressed with the kind, non-pushy demeanor of the Montage staff. Thank you for checking up on us without making us feel like you want us to spend excessive amounts of money.

I enjoy coming here to catch up with friends, to enjoy the drunk-rich-people-on-vacation people watching, or have a deep, meaningful conversation with someone special :)

I absolutely LOVE this place!  It is Heaven on earth - gorgeous views of the ocean, comfy seating, a snuggly fireplace, and an amazing pianist :) It's the perfect place to go after a long week just to unwind with your honey or a group of friends.  The atmosphere is very chill and I never feel pressured to keep ordering drinks if we want to just lounge and nurse one cocktail for a while!

I love the atmosphere here. There's a piano that in the evenings a guy is playing at. Sometimes singing. There are seating area's right near him or there are nooks to sit and talk privately across the room while he plays in the distant back ground. Best thing is to come for the sunset, have a drink while you enjoy it. Get dinner at one of the delish restaurants and then come back for a last drink and listen to the piano before going home. Don't be surprised if you and others around you feel the sudden urge to join in and sing Elton John's Piano Man cause he's got you feeling alright.
