Thompson Palm Springs is now welcoming guests.

Spanning two-and-a-half city blocks along the iconic Palm Canyon Drive downtown, the property celebrates the modern architecture the California desert city is known for and serves as a gateway into its Design District, which offers a mix of art, leisure and business. It is the first project between Hyatt and Dallas-based HALL Group.

Thompson Palm Springs features 168 bungalow-inspired guestrooms, including 18 suites, offering their own private balconies and views. It is set to debut an exclusive adults-only tower, Upper Stories, later this year. Situated in a private enclave at the hotel’s edge, Upper Stories will house a separate collection of 42 guestrooms with five suites, along with a private pool and lounge reserved for Upper Stories’ guests.

The hotel opens with a dining concept created by executive chef Quentin Garcia.  Lola Rose Grand Mezze is a Levantine-inspired restaurant, which feeds out to a skyline pool and swim club overlooking the San Jacinto Mountains.

The hotel will feature two additional dining concepts. Expected to open later this year, HALL Napa Valley Tasting Room will showcase a selection of high-quality wines from HALL, WALT and BACA’s Northern California vineyards. Slated to open in early 2025, Bar Issi is a new, ground-floor Mediterranean concept from Melissa & Matt Hermer’s Boujis Group.

The hotel also features a custom art collection sourced by Shore Art Advisory, more than 30,000 square feet of ground-level retail space, a fitness studio with TRX and Peloton equipment and more than 20,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space.

“Thompson Palm Springs infuses new energy into the rich cultural heritage of Palm Springs, offering a place where everyone who walks through the door feels welcome and at home,” says Jeffrey Miller, general manager, Thompson Palm Springs. “The hotel is intertwined with the support and engagement of the local community, and we are pleased to debut the thoughtfully curated space designed to reflect the vibrant spirit of the great city of Palm Springs.”
