Winter Wonder: Montage Hotels & Resorts and Pendry Hotels & Resorts
More than 20 years ago, Montage Hotels & Resorts made its debut with a luxury resort nestled atop the bluffs in Laguna Beach. By cultivating a sense of exclusivity through everything from personalized service to spectacular activities, coastal dining, and elevated wellness experiences, Montage has grown into a brand that keeps guests returning year after year to experience premium hospitality.
The brand’s evolution continued in 2017 with the introduction of a distinct collection designed to appeal to a different style of traveler. While Montage Hotels & Resorts has long been celebrated for its elegant accommodations, exceptional service, and refined sense of place, Pendry Hotels & Resorts embraces a more contemporary perspective, pairing sophisticated design, curated art, and vibrant social energy with elevated hospitality.
While Montage and Pendry Hotels & Resorts offer exceptional escapes year-round, winter is particularly enticing with a portfolio spanning cozy mountain lodges and sun-soaked beachfront resorts ideal for trading in snowdrifts for sandy shores. From alpine adventures and fireside relaxation to warm-weather retreats framed by swaying palms and endless horizons, each destination offers a distinctive way to embrace the season.
Winter shines bright at Montage Deer Valley, where ski-in/ski-out access places travelers moments from some of Utah’s most renowned slopes. Days are spent carving impeccably groomed runs, snowshoeing through alpine landscapes, or indulging in restorative spa treatments while evenings invite elevated dining and cozy cocktails enjoyed fireside, framed by vistas of Utah’s snow-blanketed Wasatch Range. Whether seeking exhilaration on the mountain or relaxation off it, the resort effortlessly balances outdoor adventure with the comforts of a luxurious alpine retreat.
Amid the energy of Manhattan’s vibrant West Side, Pendry Manhattan West offers a sophisticated retreat in the heart of New York City.

Set amid Sonoma’s rolling vineyards and oak-studded hills, Montage Healdsburg offers a tranquil wine country retreat in every season.

Afterward, guests can return to the resort for restorative spa experiences, cocktails enjoyed around the fire pit, and destination dining inspired by the flavors of the surrounding countryside.
Pendry Natirar offers a refreshing alternative to both ski resorts and beach escapes. Tucked amid 500 acres of rolling countryside and set on a historic estate in New Jersey, the retreat invites guests to embrace the quieter side of the season through scenic nature walks, farm-driven dining experiences, and tranquil treatments at Spa Pendry. Cozy interiors, crackling fireplaces, and sweeping views of the surrounding landscape create an atmosphere perfectly suited to a winter getaway.
For those looking to trade snow for sunshine, Montage Los Cabos offers a warm-weather retreat along the shores of Mexico’s Santa Maria Bay.

Back at the resort, guests can unwind with oceanfront dining, rejuvenating spa treatments inspired by the region, and sweeping views of Baja’s dramatic desert-meets-sea landscape.
Surrounded by the snow-capped peaks, Montage Big Sky offers an idyllic alpine retreat in Montana for winter travelers.
