Last year, I wrote about how the Thompson Palm Springs might finally open in late 2023. The hotel was supposed to be an Andaz with an opening date in 2020. That fell through. Before the Andaz, it was going to be a Hyatt. That never materialized. At the time, it looked like the property would finally open in May 2024. That date passed. Now, the hotel is finally taking reservations eight years after the property was first announced.
Thompson Palm Springs is accepting reservations on September 30th. Rates during its opening month are over $400 to $600 with taxes. Points redemptions are pricing at 17,000 to 23,000 World of Hyatt points per night (this is a Category 5 hotel).
The hotel is located in the Design District and will offer panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains and the city of Palm Springs. The hotel’s unique guest room bungalows will be surrounded by two outdoor pools, gardens, lounge areas, and walking paths. This will immerse visitors in the natural landscape of Palm Springs. A signature restaurant, indoor and outdoor bar and lounge spaces, a spa and fitness center, as well as around 8,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space.
The 168-room Thompson Palm Springs will build on Hyatt’s growth strategy in key leisure markets. It will join 18 Thompson Hotels properties worldwide, with four more expected to open in Houston, South Beach, Monterrey, Mexico, and Shanghai. The hotel’s location will provide easy access to the Palm Springs’ arts and culture scene, which includes museums, art galleries, boutiques, bars, and restaurants.
Anthony’s Take: Palm Springs needs a new luxury points property in the Hyatt portfolio. The existing Hyatt is dated and this will bring an upscale choice to the city (once it opens at the end of the month).
