11 Jul Valet Parking and Door Operations for the Beverly Hills Montage

Victor Vasquez, Towne Park Account Manager at the Montage Beverly Hills

WOW, what exciting week it has been! On Sunday July 1st, Towne Park commenced full valet and door operation at the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel.   We are also providing curbside valet service to the Bouchon Bistro, a renowned French restaurant adjacent to the hotel that averages over 220 daily covers.

With such high profile guests visiting its properties, The Montage brand is extremely exclusive as to who they hire, who they work with and where they operate.   This is the first time the Montage brand has outsourced their parking operations, and their decision to partner with Towne Park speaks volumes to the reputation we, as Towne Park Nation, have built.

Embraced on all sides by beauty and refinement, Montage Beverly Hills welcomes guests to a getaway in the heart of the Golden Triangle. Literally steps from the incomparable shopping and dining of Rodeo and Canon Drives, this Beverly  Hills hotel is a celebration of its legendary setting.  Business and leisure pursuits are equally at home thanks to Montage’s coveted location, unmatched ambiance and highly personalized service.  Exuding vintage Hollywood style paired with modern luxury, Montage Beverly Hills offers the best of both worlds. Sophisticated, inviting and reflective of its glamorous Beverly Hills setting, this urban oasis is set in the midst of a vibrant city. Distinctive amenities include award-winning cuisine, a 20,000-square-foot spa and an iridescent rooftop pool with panoramic views. Impeccable service is also in flawless alignment with guests’ every 21st Century need.

The Montage opened in 2008 and has grown to be one of Southern California’s most prestigious, luxury hotels.
