Summary: Alan Fuerstman started his career in the hotel industry as a doorman at a Marriott in New Jersey. He then came up with an idea for a new type of hotel. It would be an ultra-luxury property that allowed people to be causal. He called it Montage, and built it in Laguna Beach California. And he was right. It set the standard for a new type of luxury property, and is now one of the most well-known ultra-luxury brands in the industry, with multiple properties around the world.
