In a world full of choices, we all tend to question who we are and where we belong.
Icons, rebels, and creative spirits act as our inspirations, those dreamers, philosophers, and visionaries at heart—be it in business or in pleasure—who know exactly who they are and where they want to hang their hats.
More precisely, Thompson Hotels inspiration are those distinct personalities they wish they had known, and raised a glass with, from Julie Christie to Steve McQueen, Michael Caine (in “Alfie” mode) to Marcello Mastroianni, Grace Kelly to Alfred Hitchcock, Pablo Picasso to Jean-Luc Goddard. Edie Sedgwick to Chet Baker. “Let’s get lost,” indeed. If they were real, we’d welcome in “The Royal Tannenbaums” and “The Big Lebowski.” We’d go to Paris for absinthe to fuel Dorothy Parker’s Round Table, or to the desert for peyote to be-dazzle Bill Burroughs’ Beats. We’d be on the bus with Ken Kesey’s “Merry Pranksters.” Further! Mick Jagger, circa 1973? Sure, bloke. Bobby Kennedy? Enter, Mister President.
Equal parts places to trip the night fantastic, sleep in peace, dine like gourmands, or just have a libation with a friend or intimate, Thompson Hotels are timeless and of the moment, contemporary and elegant, with creative touches you won’t find anywhere else.
Thompson Hotels are about redefining the luxury experience to a new generation of travelers, providing them with the comfort, privacy, and freedom they’re accustomed to. It may be cliché to say, but they are not your grandfather’s notion of a hotel. “In-residence,” for Thompson, means all the term implies. Your wishes are theirs. Places where form and function are equal partners, eclectic, we are, but distinct in a way that our guests “get.”
With 5 locations in New York, 2 in Los Angeles, 1 in Washington DC, Chicago & Toronto what’s holding you back from visiting soon. Travel Deals? Thompson have them too!
