The flagship Montage Hotels & Resorts property, Montage Laguna Beach, has announced the appointment of Anne Marie Doyle as hotel manager. A critical resort team member since 2018, Doyle will return to operations after nearly two decades excelling in sales and marketing positions in the United States and Ireland. Prior to transitioning into sales and marketing roles, Doyle succeeded in several operational positions in Ireland and England and brings thirty years of industry experience to her appointment as hotel manager. In her new role, she will lead day-to-day operations of the renowned oceanfront resort, including oversight of rooms, food & beverage, spa, security, and guiding the associates in creating a remarkable guest experience.
“Like everyone on the team, I am thrilled about Anne Marie’s promotion and look forward to the creativity she is sure to bring to her new role,” said Mary Rogers, managing director and area general manager of Montage Laguna Beach. “It is particularly an honor to welcome another woman to our executive team during our 20th anniversary year.”
Doyle initially joined Montage Laguna Beach in 2018 as director of sales and marketing and assisted in operations of the resort between general managers during the toughest challenges of the pandemic. She arrived at the flagship Montage property from The Ritz-Carlton, Bacara, Santa Barbara, where she was director of sales and marketing and instrumental in transitioning the former Bacara Resort into a luxury Ritz-Carlton.
Previously, Doyle was the director of sales and marketing for many luxury properties on both sides of the Atlantic, including The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage, California, and properties in Ireland and England including The Ritz-Carlton, Powerscourt in County Wicklow; Fitzpatrick Lifestyle Hotels in Dublin; The Shelbourne Dublin, A Renaissance Hotel; and Marriott Druids Glen Resort in Newton Mount Kennedy. She also held positions as Special Events Manager at Cliveden House, A National Trust Hotel Taplow, Berkshire, plus other luxury brands including Conrad International and Copthorne Hotels.

An active and engaged hospitality professional, Doyle currently participates in several Laguna Beach organizations, including Executive Board Member of Boys and Girls Club of Laguna Beach, Member of Visit Laguna Beach, and Member of Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce. Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, Doyle earned a diploma in hotel management from Dublin Institute of Technology.
