If you’re ready for a summer staycation, here’s a new hotel to add to your must-visit list.

Thompson Austin — a 212-guestroom hotel that will feature a 10,000-square-foot wellness center, a sparkling open-air pool and deck and a restaurant helmed by James Beard Award-Winning Chef Mashama Bailey — this week announced its summer opening. The hotel, which is the Thompson’s third Texas property, will be located downtown at Fifth Street and San Jacinto in the music and entertainment district.

The design by Simeone Deary Design Group will feature statement concrete walls and bespoke elements including a front desk inspired by raw cut gemstones and a specialty shou sugi ban wood ceiling finish, both nods to the local landscape. Bold finishes of mixed metals, hints of soft leathers and luscious greenery will create the warmth in the space.

“Thompson Austin is poised to become the city’s newest central 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 the Thompson Austin this summer.”
