History
Thompson Seattle opened on June 1, 2016 as the ninth Thompson hotel and the brand's first Pacific Northwest location. The hotel was developed by Geolo Capital and TC Real Estate Development and was originally part of Thompson Hotels under Commune Hotels & Resorts before Hyatt acquired Two Roads Hospitality in 2018. Wikipedia identifies the building's architect as Olson Kundig, and Hyatt describes the property as a boutique hotel with a sleek glass façade and floor-to-ceiling views near Pike Place Market. The hotel's signature dining evolved from Scout to Conversation Kitchen & Bar, which opened in 2019, and the rooftop bar is The Nest.
