New Hyatt lifestyle hotel set to elevate luxury lifestyle hospitality experiences in the capital city's music and entertainment district
AUSTIN, Texas, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Thompson Austin is pleased to announce the planned summer 2021 opening of one of Hyatt's newest lifestyle hotels in a new mixed-use development from Magellan Development Group, Geolo Capital and Wanxiang America Real Estate Group. Situated in the heart of downtown Austin's vibrant music and entertainment district, the highly anticipated Thompson Austin will bring new, elevated hospitality to Texas' capital city with thoughtfully designed guestrooms, suites, and residences; several distinct food and beverage concepts led by culinary partners Mashama Bailey and Johno Morisano; a spacious open-air pool deck; expansive gym; and several indoor-outdoor meeting spaces—all providing sophisticated gathering places for the local community and visitors alike.
A modern hub with refined accommodations, dining, entertainment, and special events with intuitive service and individually tailored experiences, Thompson Austin will feature 212 guestrooms and suites, 17 residences, and more than 6,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Situated on the 16th floor, the Residences at Thompson Austin will provide a spacious addition to the hotel's illustrious accommodations, ranging in size from studios to two bedrooms and offering dramatic city views, full kitchens, and access to all hotel amenities. With a thoughtful design that celebrates Austin's rebellious spirit, the hotel's sophisticated interiors by Simeone Deary Design Group will feature statement concrete walls, and bespoke elements including a uniquely designed front desk inspired by raw cut gemstones and a specialty shou sugi ban wood ceiling finish - both nods to the local landscape. By contrast, bold finishes of mixed metals, hints of soft leathers and luscious greenery will create the warmth in the space.
Culinary enthusiasts will savor a variety of unique experiences on property. Anchoring the hotel on the ground floor will be The Diner Bar and The Grey Market, a street-side, all-day dining concept serving fresh, daily fare and grab-and-go options led by culinary partners Mashama Bailey and Johno Morisano, with interiors by Parts and Labor Design. Serving as a social hub for guests of Thompson Austin, residents and the local community, a fourth-floor entertainment deck will include a signature restaurant and bar with alfresco poolside terrace dining, and billiards/game room under the direction of Chicago-based Land and Sea Dept.; a 10,000-square-foot wellness center, including a yoga studio and private fitness rooms; a pool deck surrounded by lush greenery; and private event spaces offering more than 12,000 square feet of interior space and over 13,000 square feet of exterior space.
"Thompson Austin is poised to become the city's newest cultural hub boasting exceptional service, an elevated social scene and highly desirable food and beverage offerings for visitors and locals alike," said Nate Hardesty, managing director of Thompson Austin. "From our collaboration with the team behind Savannah's critically acclaimed The Grey to our fourth-floor playground of food and beverage, wellness and more, we are creating a vibrant gathering place, with the intention of serving the local community as well as global travelers. Austin is such a fun, funky, unique city and is one of the most beloved travel destinations while being home to so many amazing people and businesses. We are beyond excited to open the doors to Thompson Austin this summer."
Located on 5th and San Jacinto, approximately 15 minutes from Austin Bergstrom International Airport, Thompson Austin will be perfectly situated to provide guests easy access to all of the eclectic neighborhoods that make Austin so charming.
