History
With a central location at the intersection of downtown and the Uptown Design District, the low-slung property's white stucco buildings, desert-landscaped pathways, and sprawling pool deck unfurl along two and a half city blocks. Though it's within easy walking distance to town's vintage shops, upscale boutiques, art museum, and increasingly diverse dining scene, the hotel still manages to feel like a true resort. This is thanks to architecture that lifts its rooms and most amenities above street level, shielding guests from the bustle below while simultaneously offering dramatic mountain views.
Guest rooms are dressed with midcentury accents like leather headboards, velvet seating, and terrazzo-style tile, and furnished with private outdoor space. For a more serene stay, book a room within Upper Stories, the adults-only wing that opened in spring 2025 and has an exclusive pool and bar and perks like complimentary coffee, wine, and treats served throughout the day. Anchor restaurant Lola Rose Grand Mezze has quickly become a local favorite, with Middle Eastern– and Levantine-inspired spreads, salads, kebabs, and cocktails , go for a proper dinner in the dining room or a drink in the richly detailed lounge, soundtracked by a DJ on weekends. In addition to Hall Winery's airy tasting room and wine lounge (the producer's first outside Napa), the June 2025 arrival of Bar Issi, a glam coastal-Italian eatery from LA's Boujis Group, rounds out the Thompson's culinary offerings.
