hotel hot list Montage Big Sky Montana Renderings courtesy of MONTAGE INTERNATIONAL and 1 HOTELS Situated on more than 3,500 acres in a private golf and ski club in Big Sky, Montana, the Montage Big Sky will be the state's first ultraluxurious, 5-Star resort when it debuts later this year. One of several recent and upcoming openings from Montage Hotels & Resorts (including the Montage Healdsburg in California's wine country designed by Le Architects, Delawie Architects, and EDG) the ski-in/ ski-out resort-just 45 minutes from Yellowstone National Park-centers around the outdoors. The handiwork of New York and San Francisco area firms Hart Howerton, BraytonHughes Design Studios, and EDG (which helmed several dining concepts), the 150-room property features 39 residences and boasts a modern mountain design calling on a natural palette of regional wood and stone.
