LAGUNA BEACH, CALIF.—Montage Hotels & Resorts announced that Hermann Elger has been appointed general manager of Montage Beverly Hills. Last year, the hotel earned Gold certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED for New Construction rating system. “We’re thrilled to welcome Hermann to Montage Hotels & Resorts,” said Alan Fuerstman, founder and CEO, Montage Hotels & Resorts. “His international experience in luxury hotel management and genuine passion to deliver memorable and extraordinary guest experiences made him a natural fit for this position.”
Elger was most recently the general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun, a position he held since 2007. A second generation hotelier, Elger served The Ritz-Carlton Hotel company for 18 years, holding positions in Aspen, Bali, Washington D.C. and Miami. Additionally, he played an instrumental role in the hotel openings for the Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Dubai, Philadelphia and Bachelor Gulch properties.
During his time with The Ritz-Carlton, Cancun, the property was the company’s most acclaimed resort; it still holds the distinction of being the world’s only AAA rated, three-time Five Diamond resort. Elger is a graduate of the University of Denver School of Hotel Management.
“Montage Beverly Hills is achieving great success in its second full year of operation,” said James Bermingham, vice president, Montage Hotels & Resorts. “We are experiencing strong residential sales momentum and planning the October opening of chef Scott Conant’s Scarpetta restaurant. “It is an ideal time for Hermann to lead the talented team at Montage Beverly Hills to even greater success.
