Spa Montage introduces "Surrender," an Montage Spa Signature treatment. This innovative new approach to bodywork allows the therapist to determine a guest's individual optimum treatment. "Surrender" begins with a brief consultation to discuss your lifestyle. The therapist then recommends the ideal treatment or series of treatments to heal and address individual needs. The "Surrender" experience can be booked for as little as two hours. The therapist can also develop a personalized menu for recommended spa services for the entire length of your stay.
