Ultra-luxury hotel and resort operator with two distinct brands
Montage International operates two hospitality brands—Montage Hotels & Resorts (founded 2002) and Pendry Hotels & Resorts (founded 2014)—across properties in high-end leisure and destination markets. The hiring mix is operations-dominated (434 ops roles against 16 engineering), with junior staff comprising over half of active headcount, reflecting seasonal and front-of-house staffing patterns typical of multi-property hotel management. Cost control, food and labor expense management, and inventory waste reduction are the dominant pain points in active projects, suggesting a maturity phase focused on operational efficiency rather than technology transformation.
Notable leadership hires: Housekeeping Director, Banquet Director, Spa Director, Banquets Director, Director of Rooms
