I have not stayed there, but if you end up choosing to make a reservation, perhaps this deal may be of interest. I received an e-mail about it a couple of days ago:
"Come stay at the spectacular new Montage Hotel Beverly Hills, where design and service exist in tandem to exceed all expectations.
Book a room between now and June 15, 2009 through Protravel and receive a $185 spa credit or book a suite and receive a $370 spa credit.
Plus receive continental breakfast and a one category upgrade at time of booking..."
I believe that in order to receive the deal, that it has to be booked by an agent from Protravel, however I am not certain. And of course, there may well be other avenues for similar perks/amenities, too.

protravel = virtuoso IIRC. sounds like theyre montage alliance too.
DavidO discussed virtuoso/montage alliance benefits earlier, including >
perhaps thats the $185/$370 mentioned by MarshKing? except id assume contracts are through the end of the year, not mid june.

As you noted, it looks like Brownell probably has the same offer as Pro, given that they are both in the same alliance with Virtuoso and Montage. (FWIW, Robyng also mentioned another high-end agency in FL that may well be part of this, too.)

Protravel are having specials everyday for a month which only will be emailed to clients of Pro as to what it is each day so the above offer should be over and above what else is available but I have yet to check the Montage offer. Some very good offers thus far.
EDIT to add: The guaranteed upgrade it what is special to this offer

At the Montage, Kasikci has found a traditional guest annoyance and removed it. Laundry service is anytime. There are no pick-up deadlines and delivery requirements. "Give us 45 minutes," he told me over a recent breakfast. Yes, anytime.

I'm almost tempted by this offer. I've seen pictures of the rooms and think they look ghastly but I kind of like the pictures of the pool area and think I could take advantage of the spa credit.

I've been there and didn't like it. Room was (much) smaller than a postage stamp, even with a Virtuoso upgrade. AC didn't work. Cheap water in room (s/b Fiji). Bartender needed a flashlight to read the menu. The whole place was darkish. Restaurant was better than Denny’s but not by much.
With the Hotel Bel Air closed, I think the best hotel in this area is the Pen, followed by the Beverly Hills Hotel. But the FS BW is pretty good also, just not a personable. All are good.
I cried when I heard the Hotel Bel Air was closing …

I can tell you that the hottest restaurant in Southern California is Scarpetta at the Montage. The Montage is in a great location if one is interested in dining. Scarpetta has gotten rave reviews and just across the park/courtyard is Bouchon, . Bouchon is one of Thomas Kellers' fine restaurants (he of the French Laundry). Bouchon is the perfect bistro.
Now, if staying at The Montage and you feel like crossing the street...well, there you are at Spago
Have not stayed at The Montage. Sure do like the location and the on-and nearly-off-site restaurants.
