Thompson Houston Details

Located downtown in Buffalo Bayou Park, Thompson Houston is a 36-story new-build hotel with a sleek glass and steel tower. The 172 rooms include 34 suites, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, marble finishes, and warm, earthy colors. The property offers one of the city’s largest outdoor rooftops and includes an infinity pool, outdoor cabanas, and a 2,500-square-foot green space.

Another standout feature is the Thompson Spa with 6 treatment rooms, a sauna, a salon, and a 24-hour fitness center. At launch, there will be a single restaurant, Soi 7, but by the fall of 2024, there will be 2 additional eateries, Chardon, a French brasserie and Buck 40, an upscale supper club.

“We’re thrilled to open Thompson Houston and offer guests and locals an unparalleled hospitality experience in Houston,” said 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.”
