Thompson Houston, Houston’s newest luxury lifestyle hotel, has officially opened its doors. Set against the backdrop of unobstructed views of downtown Houston’s skyline, the hotel offers a design signature to the brand, a spa sanctuary, world-class dining, and elevated spaces for weddings and events.
Thompson Houston features 172 guestrooms, including 34 suites, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a residential feel with entirely custom-made furnishings and spacious en-suite bathrooms with marble vanities and custom wall treatments and tiling.
“We’re thrilled to open Thompson Houston and offer guests and locals an unparalleled hospitality experience in Houston,” says Ted Knighton, managing director of Thompson Houston. “With a unique design and stellar location beside Buffalo Bayou Park, we are excited to become a homebase for visitors and locals alike and what will surely be the most sought-after social space for weddings and events.”
Offering more than 17,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space to accommodate groups of up to 800 people, Thompson Houston’s meeting spaces range from intimate executive boardrooms to an 8,000-square-foot ballroom adorned with eclectic mesh chandeliers, brass accents, and a private terrace and private entrance for large groups and breakout rooms and pre-function space also feature floor-to-ceiling windows, with many rooms featuring private, wraparound outdoor terraces with city views.
Thompson Houston offers one of the city’s largest outdoor rooftops, with a custom-tiled infinity pool boarded by cabanas, and a 2,500-square-foot greenspace, both providing views of downtown and creating a setting for outdoor weddings and events.
An entire floor is dedicated to the full-service Thompson Spa at Thompson Houston, featuring six treatment suites with spa treatments. The spa offers indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, saunas, a salon, and a state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center. A lineup
of treatments is available to guests and locals, including massages, facials, body and hydration scrubs, men’s treatments, regenerative treatments, and more. Hotel guests also receive access to the EOS fitness center, just steps from the hotel.
Sol 7 is Thompson Houston’s signature all-day dining restaurant located off the lobby, featuring rooftop seating where guests can enjoy
cocktails and seasonal fare. Opening soon are two additional restaurants operated by TableOne Hospitality: Chardon, a French brasserie that will debut this summer, and Buck 40, an upscale supper club slated to open in the fall of 2024. Thompson Houston is also home to the first brick-and-mortar outpost of a local coffee company, Maven Coffee Company, offering specialty coffees, pastries, and coffee-based cocktails. Complementing these dining venues will be an additional collection of restaurants opening in spring 2024 from restaurant group Noble33, including Toca Madera, a modern Mexican steakhouse, and Meduza Mediterrania, a Mediterranean dining experience.
Thompson Houston provides several open-air spaces and guest amenities encouraging wellness and outdoor exploration. Hotel guests can explore the nearby trails with complimentary Thompson Houston-branded Bluejay electric bicycles, and hydration stations are available on each floor in addition to daily newspapers and complimentary fresh fruit.
The property is located near world-class shopping at the Galleria, the stately River Oaks neighborhood, downtown Houston, the Museum District, professional sports venues at Minute Maid Park and Shell Energy Stadium, and is a 25-minute drive from George Bush Intercontinental Airport and William Hobby Airport.
