Take a walk back behind the reception area and you will come across a small sitting area for guests. On your right, is the hotel's sundries shop. Further down on the left are the hotel's two restaurants on the ground level--Parq and Muse. Foodie guests can even take a walk back into the kitchen and watch the chefs at work. Or hit up the private chef's table with a front-row seat to watching executive chef and his team at work.

For high tea lovers, the hotel has a tea lounge that serves tea, pastries and finger sandwiches from 2:30 to 5pm. There's also a stretch of artistically-landscaped gardens out back--perfect for a post-meal stroll or a wedding. Downstairs you will find a spa and salon wonderland with stylist Kim Vo taking care of blondes (like Britney) and all sorts of advanced spa treatments taking care of your bodies.

Up in the guestrooms, the hotel focused on the little things like customized hangers, telephones on both sides of the bed, TVs above the baths, and control panels for the lights and the curtains.

On the rooftop, there's an outdoor pool with fully-stocked cabanas and another restaurant, The Conservatory. It was from the north-east facing part of the rooftop that we snapped the view pic. Of course, clear days are not guaranteed in Los Angeles.

Luxury is obviously the name of the game at the Montage and in Beverly Hills, no request is too ridiculous. Our favorite part of the tour came when we were checking out the salon and a client had room service delivered down to her.

Room rates are still at the introductory price of $425. The online reservations system is forthcoming so call the hotel directly to book.
