06 Aug Taking Inventory with Hermann Elger General Manager, Montage Beverly Hills

“I have always loved this business, and I got an early start,” says Hermann Elger, General Manager of Montage Beverly Hills, as he talks about a photo of himself in a bellman uniform at the age of two. A second-generation hotelier, Elger’s father was the first General Manager of the Presidente Hotel in Cozumel, Mexico. Elger grew up in Mexico, moving to Colorado for high school, and after receiving his degree from the University of Denver School of Hotel Management, he spent 18 years working for the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company─ four years in Aspen and seven in Cancun, Mexico─ before joining Montage Beverly Hills in 2010.
