Development
Life, Well Lived
Founded in 2002 by hospitality industry veteran Alan Fuerstman, Montage Hotels & Resorts delivers an unmatched experience in the ultra-luxury market. Montage instills strong emotional attachment in our guests by providing highly personalized service, extraordinary destinations, exceptional accommodations and residences, award-winning dining, world-class spas and an elegant but welcoming ambiance with a goal of creating lasting and cherished memories – engendering superior brand loyalty and financial performance.

Co-founded by Alan and Michael Fuerstman in 2015, Pendry was born into the lineage of Montage Hotels & Resorts, elevating design and service for a new luxury traveler – a worldly, modern-day explorer. At each Pendry location, we’ve embraced art, music and design, within the culture of the neighborhood, combining them in each hotel and residence with our unspoken list of non-negotiables; simple luxury, clean design, well-crafted restaurant experiences, vibrant bars and that perfect balance of polished comfort and modern edge.

Business Development
We collaborate with our partners to select only extraordinary locations and then draw inspiration from them, thereby offering guests a collection of distinctive and profound experiences rooted in the richness of their settings.
Our approach protects Montage and Pendry from dilution or oversaturation, benefiting owners and investors by staying true to the values, destinations and experiences that define Montage and Pendry in ways that keep guests engaged and loyal.
Location Parameters
Montage Hotels & Resorts and Pendry Hotels & Resorts present a set of beautifully articulated hotel collections with specific development strategies that strengthen both brands. We consider not only how Montage and Pendry are expressed via the guest experience, but also where each hotel is located – and perhaps more importantly, where they are not located. Only a limited number of locations worldwide can support the ultra-luxury positioning and rate required to successfully execute the Montage brand, so we are defined as much by our restraint as we are by our current portfolio. Guests and owners benefit from this discipline; each new property will belong to an exclusive collection of hotels and resorts that deliver a consistent, undiluted ultra-luxury experience at the apex of the market.
Recognizing an emerging segment in the luxury market, in 2015 Montage launched Pendry Hotels & Resorts – a new luxury brand that allows for growth while preserving brand integrity. Pendry has garnered great response from the start, showing Montage International’s acumen in delivering luxury offerings in the market context.
Owner Relations
For our owners, we strive to be a true partner, thoughtfully crafting and operating to provide unparalleled value. We believe this empathy for investor concerns is a key characteristic that differentiates Montage from most other luxury brands. We take a long-term strategic view on the value of the hotel assets. We also seek to partner with owners who appreciate the importance of brand integrity and value creation.
Residential
Montage recognizes the importance of residential and other compatible uses to the ultimate success of each individual hotel; therefore, a primary driver of the Montage International business model is our residential platform. Montage has developed core competencies in residential design, development, sales and marketing and service delivery and is committed to best-in-class luxury custom residential products for our Montage and Pendry brands.
