With sweeping panoramas of the Pacific Ocean and striking craftsman-style architecture, this 250-room oceanfront luxury resort is situated on 30-lushly landscaped acres in the heart of the picturesque arts community of Laguna Beach (midway between Los Angeles and San Diego).

February 22, 2003

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 resort's unique craftsman-style design reflects this bygone era.

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. To that end, the resort showcases a museum quality collection of fine art inspired by the Early California Arts and Crafts movement, including pieces by such famed Plein Air artists as Alfred Mitchell, William Wendt, Edgar Payne and Jean Mannheim.

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).
