7 Most Luxurious Thompson Properties
Stella Shon  |   January 10, 2023

There’s a lot to love about Thompson hotels, a brand of five-star boutique properties bookable through Hyatt. While each hotel has its unique charm, you can expect consistent amenities no matter where you stay, such as rooftop bars, artfully-designed rooms, and expansive fitness centers. As a bonus, all Thompson hotels are also pet-friendly!

Best of all? Depending on the property, you can book Thompson Hotels anywhere from 9,000 points to 29,000 points per night. With Bilt Points transferring instantly at a 1:1 ratio to Hyatt, you can score free nights at any of the seven most luxurious Thompson Hotels below.

Thompson Austin

The Thompson Austin is a sleek hotel that’s a hit for both locals and tourists alike, thanks to its central, 6th Street location for easy access to live music and nightlife. Additionally, the Thompson Austin boasts an expansive range of restaurants and bars on-site by James Beard award-winning chefs. Our personal pick? The rooftop bar, which offers an indoor-outdoor concept and a pool where you can sip, relax or socialize at your leisure. You’ll find floor-to-ceiling windows with great views of downtown inside the rooms and modern amenities throughout the hotel, such as electronic vehicle charging.

You can expect to pay a cool $475 per night. However, you’d be better off saving the cash and shelling out your Bilt Points: a standard free night at the Thompson Austin costs 21,000 to 29,000 Hyatt points per night, depending on when you visit.

Thompson Central Park New York

Out of three Thompson’s outposts in Manhattan, the Thompson Central Park New York is our most preferred. Not only does this hotel border Central Park, but it’s also situated on 5th Ave, famously known as “Billionaires’ Row.” Its location in Midtown means you have easy access to all of the Broadway theaters, museums, shops, and restaurants you desire.

Pro tip: visit the “hidden” burger joint that’s tucked behind a draping black curtain on the first floor of the hotel, which attracts hundreds of hungry locals daily.

A night at the Thompson Central Park New York will cost you $450 on average— or 21,000-29,000 Hyatt points instead.

The Cape, a Thompson Hotel

Take your rest and relaxation to new heights at this beachfront Cabo resort, which features a swim-up bar, beachside fire pits, and award-winning restaurants—with ceviche and margaritas basically on tap. Every room at The Cape offers its own private balcony and panoramic views of The Arch of Cabo San Lucas, but you’ll want to head up to the sixth-floor rooftop to marvel at Cabo’s sunsets.

Cash rates average $664 nightly and can even climb up to $1,300 per night during peak season. While costly, this makes for a remarkable use of your Bilt Points. You can expect to pay 21,000 to 29,000 Hyatt points per night instead—which gets you an incredible 3-plus cents of value per point.

Thompson Madrid

Located in the popular Gran Via neighborhood, the Thompson Madrid is in a historic, 10-story Spanish facade. Every room offers a residential feel with hardwood floors, cozy seating areas and oversized windows. Foodies rejoice: you’ll find an all-day bakery, excellent rooftop bar and restaurant, and even a speakeasy-style bar for handcrafted cocktails and bites.

The average nightly rate at the Thompson Madrid hovers around $464—alternatively, its award rates are quite reasonable from 12,000 to 18,000 Hyatt points per night.

Thompson Savannah

The Thompson Savannah embodies upscale Southern charm. With sweeping views of the Savannah River, this hotel is ideally located near the Historic District. Amenities include free rental bikes to help you explore the city and a relaxing rooftop restaurant and lounge with an on-site pool.

On average, the Thompson Savannah will set you back $300 per night. As one of Hyatt’s Category 6 hotels, you can book this hotel for a much better deal of 17,000 to 23,000 Hyatt points.

Thompson Zihuatanejo, A Beach Resort

Resorts that are off the beaten path are hard to find, especially in Mexico. But the Thompson Zihuatanejo is a hidden gem that provides a tranquil oasis on Mexico’s Pacific Ocean coast. It’s also one of Thompson’s more intimate properties, with just 56 rooms and suites in total. Outdoor activities are plentiful here with parasailing, jet skiing, and whale watching along the pristine Playa de la Ropa.

Looking to book a few nights in paradise? With average nightly rates around $333, a free night is a better deal, ranging from 21,000 to 29,000 Hyatt points per night.

Bottom Line

One of our favorite hotel brands is Thompson—and even better, it’s part of the World of Hyatt portfolio. That means you can transfer your Bilt Points to the Hyatt program to book a much-needed vacation at any of these ultra-luxurious hotels, unlocking tremendous value.
