Meet our partners: Thompson Hotels

Launched in 2001, Thompson is a collection of 19 award-winning modern and refined accommodations that set the bar high for the luxury lifestyle hospitality sector. In addition to sophisticated designs and delectable culinary offerings, Thompson Hotels are pillars of fashion, art, and music, reflecting the dynamic energy of their locations. Curated spaces represent the crossroad between low and high culture, where the culturally savvy seek inspiration.

Since 2018, Thompson Hotels has been a part of the Hyatt group alongside sister brands such as Jdv by Hyatt (formerly Joie de Vivre), Alila, and Destination by Hotel (formerly Destination Hotels) that were previously overseen by Two Roads Hospitality. Today, you’ll find Thompson Hotels strategically located in the USA, Mexico, and Spain, with more European properties in the pipeline (keep your eyes peeled for Thompson Hotels opening in Austria and Italy).

Stay at a Thompson Hotel, and you’ll be right in the heart of the action of one of the world’s most inviting urban settings, with a range of in-house offerings carefully curated by local experts to deliver an authentic cultural experience.

Each Thompson Hotel features interior and architectural designs by renowned industry leaders like Studio Gaia, Yabu Pushelberg, and Tara Bernerd. These residential-inspired places are distinctly edgy, blending a bold modern sensibility with refined and layered aesthetics.

Reflecting the excellence of Thompson Hotels’ designs are dining and entertainment outlets that not only excite the senses but also foster discovery and spark conversation. Imaginative culinary concepts are realized by acclaimed mixologists and chefs like Miguel Baltazar, Daniel Boulud, and Ludo Lefebre. At night, the hotels’ lively lounges and bars become coveted social venues.

Besides having an incredible array of onsite cultural offerings, Thompson Hotels connects guests to the locale through experiences that range from after-hours access to museums and bookstore readings to under-the-radar performances and cultural festivals.

Hyatt puts diversity, equality, and inclusion at the forefront of its priorities, with the goal of caring for people so that they can feel free to be their best authentic selves. Through its Change Starts Here commitments, Hyatt outlines key policies and procedures regarding who it supports and works with to ensure equality across its organization.

Hyatt is committed to supporting and advocating for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies, having recently scored 100% on the 2023 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), marking the 19th year in a row that company has been honored as a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality”. Speaking of awards, Hyatt was the winner in the Lodge/Ranch category at the 7th annual GAY Travel Awards in 2022, was named one of the “100 Best Companies to Work For” on the FORTUNE 2022, and has been a proud International LGBTQ+ Travel Association Global Partner since 2009.

Fostering environments of understanding and inclusion aligns with the vision of Hyatt – to provide guests from all backgrounds with a place where they can be their most authentic self. In celebration of understanding, inclusion, equality, and diversity, Hyatt extends an annual Pride promotion for LGBTQ+ travelers during the annual Pride festivities. In 2023, this promotion included a free breakfast, $50 dining credit, a round of curated drinks, and more.

Situated in New York’s bustling Financial District in Lower Manhattan just steps from Wall Street, the One World Trade Center, and The Battery, Gild Hall, a Thompson Hotel, is an elegant retreat with chic guest rooms and suites, a stately lobby, and a range of attractive spaces that showcase the distinctive aesthetics of mid-century modern expert Jim Walrod, complemented by the iconic photography of Slim Aarons. During the most recent Pride events, guests at Gild Hall were given a ‘Play with Pride’ package that included a glitter bath bomb, cocktails, a Thompson Hotels’ toy kit, and a 25% discount on Reviv IV Drips.

Another spectacular Thompson Hotels is The Cape, situated in Mexico’s Cabo San Lucas by the beachfront. This luxury resort is home to 157 beautifully appointed guest rooms, villas, and suites, all offering unobstructed views of El Arco and the Bahia Cabo San Lucas horizon. Premium facilities include a swim-up bar, sixth-story rooftop lounge, fitness center, and intimate spa with private outdoor treatment cabanas. Among the hotel’s wide range of culinary delights are Manta, the signature restaurant headed by award-winning chef Enrique Olvera.

If you fancy a luxurious trip to Spain’s Capital, book a stay at Thompson Madrid, which occupies a historic 10-story building in the dynamic Gran Via neighborhood. With hardwood floors, oversized windows, and cozy seating areas, the hotel’s guest rooms offer a classic residential feel. Culinary offerings include a rooftop bar, all-day bakery, a speakeasy-inspired diner for cocktails and snacks, and a top-rated restaurant.
