    The Thompson in downtown Dallas is a mixed bag. The lobby is beautiful and takes advantage of the natural light and grand scale. You can really make an entrance here. But all that glitz and glam quickly recedes as you go to the actual rooms. Our room was lacking some basic necessities and upkeep. This diminished our enjoyment of our stay. We did a staycation here for one night. Being Dallas residents, it's a real treat to get to stay downtown and see the area from a different perspective. I don't mean to sound nit-picky, but in our room quite a few things were off. First, we were lacking a wastebasket. There was one in the restroom w/c, but there really should've been one in the actual room. Also, in our room, the curtains were stationary. We could not draw them to see the view of the pool below. Another headache was the led lamp on the nightstand kept flickering throughout our stay. Another issue we had was the shower head was missing some of the little rubber stoppers on the shower head, so there were some streams of water spurting in weird directions. Overall, the grand lobby sets your expectations high, but when you get to the room, there was a lack of maintenance in keeping the suite at its best.

    Thompson Hotel is a beautiful hotel located in the heart of downtown Dallas. There are so many places within walking distance from here such as the farmer's market, CVS is just across the street, and many other restaurants and shops. The lobby is beautiful, the boot / western store Luchesse is located on the first floor, two restaurants on the 9th floor, and two nice dinner restaurants on the 49th floor. Also, chik-fil-a and another coffee shop is located around the corner and attached to this building. Waters with fruit and coffee are available by the elevators. Some of the things that could improve, but are not deal breakers only because I can be a princess at times - our room was spacious, but did not include additional seating other than the desk chair. Alot of hotel rooms include an ottoman or some other additional seating, and I would've expected this for this type of hotel. Second, there is no switch for the vent / fan above the toilet closet, plus it needed to be cleaned. The door to the toilet room is see through, so if you need to use the toilet only, you'd have to close the entire bathroom. Not a big deal, but why even install a door if it's just going to be glass? Also, as someone who used to work in the hotel industry, the customer service isn't the best here. The staff we've encountered in the hall or the elevator didn't always greet you and sometimes they didn't smile when you looked at them. When I requested additional items for the room, it took hours to get. The traffic for valet along Akard is very busy and even busier at night, so if you are valeting and need to be somewhere at night, prepare accordingly. The soaps and lotions smelled fantastic. I wish I bought some to take home. I wonder if the spa had some for sale, but I forgot to look. Overall great experience as far as location and convenience.

    The Thompson is hands down one of my go-to hotels in Dallas. The lobby alone is stunning--on Valentine's Day, they had these gorgeous rose arrangements that I was absolutely obsessed with. The service? Top notch. This place is truly a five-star experience. What really sets it apart is the convenience. With Monarch, Kessaku, and Little Daisy all under one roof, you don't even have to leave for incredible dining. It's the perfect spot for business travel because everything you need is right there. The rooms have that mid-century modern vibe but still feel very Texas, complete with a cowhide rug. It's just a solid stay every time.

    The room was spacious but dirty. We had a nice view of the city. Both beds had hair on it as well as the shower. The bathroom floors could've been mopped. Robes are offered. The location was in walking distance to restaurants and other things. I felt safe for the most part. We were able to pay for in/out privileges in the parking garage for $129 for 3 days which was pretty reasonable. The hotel was beautiful. Many photo opportunities. It didn't seem kid friendly at all and we had two children. The fitness center was nice. There is a daily hotel fee. Everyone was super nice.

    Really nice property for a getaway and I plan to visit again. I had a great suite in the 19th floor with a great view. Pros: nice and spacious room with great amenities. Loved the lobby and art gallery. The sushi restaurant on the 50th floor was fun, trendy and had both excellent food and service to match an amazing view of the city. Room service was good. Staff everywhere were beyond nice and helpful. 9th floor amenities were very nice. Cons: no turndown service. No ice in room. Towels were very small. Amenity fee around $35.

    Outstanding visit to the Thompson. I was able to check in right away, thanks to AMEX Platinum and was upgraded, which was unexpected! Upon check in, I was asked what brought me to town and things that I was interested in. The next day there was a box of chocolates and a hand written note with suggestions on the specific things I mentioned the previous day. I had breakfast a The National both mornings and was somewhat disappointed at the turn around time from sitting down to receiving breakfast. There is a great patio and very cute bar located in the building so it makes it nice to have a cocktail after a long day. I don't really have any cons about this place that would prevent me from staying again! Was very pleased overall with everything and thought the room was outstanding!

    Did a quick overnight mom staycation here with a friend and had a great time! As Globalist, I was able to reach out ahead of time and they provided a nice bottle of bubbly, that was a nice surprise. Room was spacious and bed was very comfy for me. The hotel is right in downtown so the street noise can be too much for people and they provide ear plugs! We parked valet, which was complimentary due to booking the room with points, as Globalist. I'd love to come back and explore the hotel more and the spa.

    We visited the Thompson one evening in June for a friend's wedding. The ballroom was elegant and spacious, with good views of the surrounding buildings through the tall windows. The Thompson itself was beautiful and had great amenities. The staff in the lobby were very helpful in directing guests throughout the wedding weekend.

    From the moment my husband and I stepped into the hotel, I knew we were in for a luxurious experience. The grand lobby, adorned with elegant decor, set the tone for what would be an unforgettable stay. However, what truly elevated our experience was the exceptional service provided by Jason, the check-in concierge. Jason greeted us with a warm smile and a perfect blend of professionalism and genuine hospitality. He made the extra early morning check-in process seamless, taking care of every detail with precision. Not only was he incredibly efficient, but he also took the time to ensure that all of our preferences were met, making us feel like a valued guest from the very start. If you're looking for a hotel that combines luxury with top-notch service, The Thompson is the place to be. And if you're lucky, Jason will be there to welcome you and make your stay truly exceptional. P.S Video featured is from Kessaku - on the 49th floor.

    Good location, nice modern rooms, and gorgeous public spaces. Good pick in downtown Dallas. Easy walking distance or a short Uber ride to some good nearby restaurants and tourist sites. One of the most beautiful aspects of this hotel is the main corridor as you walk in (check out my photo). It sets the tone for the equally nicely appointed rooms. Rooms are modern and VERY spacious. The ones I've stayed in are about 1000+ square feet. My favorite are the ones with the soaking tub that overlook the city. Beds are super comfy too. I slept in one day until 2:30pm. The rooftop deck is super nice and one of my favorite " hideaways" here after a workout at their spacious gym. Another plus is the Monarch Restaurant located inside, from 2-star Michelin chef, Danny Grant. It's a hot Dallas restaurant, and worth going to, even if you're not staying on So why not 5 stars? First, it seems based on room category, certain rooms have extremely dim night lighting. Apparently, the staff is aware of this because every time I've mentioned it, the response back is that other guests have also had the same issue. Ok. Well, maybe time to actually fix Secondly, at $50 PER night ($48 plus tax) the valet parking situation is very disappointing. On more occasions than not, they've had trouble locating my car. They usually end up asking me for my license plate number (sorry, but that's not something I've committed to memory). I've always presented my ticket, so why do they also require the license plate number? And if that's standard protocol, why don't they write it down on their portion of the ticket? Or what's the point of even having a ticket? Plus, it always takes forever for them to retrieve the car. I valet park all the time everywhere, and I've never experienced so much confusion. At the end of the day, I've had many good experiences here.

    Spacious rooms, good downtown locations, well appointed with attentive staff. A fantastic place for a stay in, business travel, or something in between. Plenty of restaurants around. If you end up going to Catbox make sure you're well-dressed, otherwise there are ample other establishments you can enjoy nearby. Room is comfortable, large, with a nicely stocked bar and ample supplies. Bed is not overly soft. Overall, a very amenable and pleasant place to stay!

Our event coordinator had already been in contact with each hotel's sales team regarding room blocks, but my fiancé and I wanted to personally see the properties before recommending them to 30-40 hotel room blocks. Although we arrived after sales office hours, Liz at the front desk was exceptionally kind. She walked us through the restaurants commonly used for private events, explained the renovation timeline, and invited us to take our time exploring before returning to the front desk to view a standard guest room. Unfortunately, our experience changed when another employee, who later identified himself as Clayton, a manager, stepped in. It appeared he had been listening to our conversation but had not introduced himself. He abruptly informed us that we would not be able to view a room. We explained that our event coordinator was already working with the sales manager regarding room blocks and pricing, and that we were simply trying to ensure we felt confident recommending the hotel to our family and friends. Despite understanding the situation, he remained unwilling to accommodate the request. His only suggestion was that we purchase a room if we wanted to see one. For us, this interaction spoke volumes. Hospitality isn't just about beautiful rooms--it's about making potential guests feel welcomed and valued. If this was the experience we received as prospective clients considering multiple wedding events and dozens of room nights, it gave us pause about what our guests might experience. As a result, we will likely to move our room block, welcome dinner, Saturday event, and Sunday brunch where we're met with warmth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality from the moment we arrive. The Joule is undeniably a beautiful property, but customer service plays a major role in our decision-making. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that our business was neither appreciated nor wanted.

She crossed the four-lane highway with just 36 cents and was given the presidential suite for three days. With photos, custom pillows, quotes, the "Escape" suite is dedicated to her. If you want to commemorate Tina Turner, nothing beats it. Lorenzo Hotel, let's stay together. The creative, quirky, and poetic 237-room boutique is known for being an eclectic and vibrant art gallery with a different theme for each floor. Floor 1 is a mix-up with Shakespeare, Alice in Wonderland, Poe, and Einstein. Floor 3 is Literature & Journalism (if you like old printing presses this may be your type). Floor 4 is the Music Floor (vintage audio). Floor 5 is Mid-Century Modern (1960s Dallas history). Floor 6 is "Dali" or Surrealism Floor. Floor 8 is Botanical & Nature (floral pops of color). Floor 9 is Pop Art (bold and graphic). Floor 10 is Cinematic History (Hollywood glamour). Floor 11 is The Tina Turner Tribute. Floor 12: Skyline / Skye Ballroom event level with massive floor-to-ceiling windows. We stayed in Floor 7, which is "Literary Noir" (drama and mystery). We had a broken, blinking Neon sign, a wobbly ceiling fan, broken blinds, matchbooks full of phone numbers, an unfinished manuscript, an ashtray full of cigarettes, and a dead body in the tub. Not really. But we did have a giant seven foot "desk lamp", a paintbrush and frame above our bed, and and a carpet made from Hamlet quotes in Room 704. Dining: Hamilton's is the main on-site restaurant and bar, with a host or hostess in the lobby smiling at us when we walked in. Taco Enzo and Kolache Korner are in the refurbished shipping containers in the massive parking lot. The lobby store is small and not cheap but it beats a vending machine, especially if you want an ice cream sandwich or fingernail clippers. The "South Beach" pool is saltwater, so it's softer on the skin, eyes, and hair and avoids red eyes, green hair, and pool smell. Location: Though the Cedars district is the industrial historic heart of the Dallas arts scene, it's a bit gritty and has *freeway noise*, with gentrification friction, being a patchwork of high-end luxury lofts sitting right next to dilapidated industrial warehouses, making it feel half vibrant but half abandoned. The Walkability Score is 73, thanks to massive railroad tracks, the I-30, current construction, and inconsistent sidewalks. Be warned this isn't a tree-lined, window-shopping destination like Uptown or Bishop. Finding food, a drink, and even a movie will be much easier than groceries or a pharmacy (though drugs is a different story). Service: Everyone was awesome, especially Precious, who was, like her name Precious. That explains why they don't hire Dicks.

The pool was great during the summer, it's small but has many chairs and even cabanas that are great for lounging in. The onsite restaurant for breakfast was delicious! The food was really good - probably the best part of the entire hotel - and the service at the restaurant was beyond friendly and accommodating. The parking is $20 a night which is a crazy price, but there were always plenty of spaces. There is a lot of construction next door, so we could hear that going on during the day and proved for a quite terrible view from our hotel room - completely obstructed by a tree with the bits you can see through being just trucks. One evening our toddler pulled the plug for the lamp that is on the night stand and it pulled the entire outlet out which created a hot flash of fire and smoke - then live wires were exposed - this is crazy dangerous and very disturbing that a very small child was in such danger from merely unplugging something. We went down to the desk and they immediately said they'd send an engineer up and asked if we would like to change rooms. We said we'd see what the engineer said, he came up about 5 mins later and said everything needed to be replaced so I said to him we have to switch rooms as it was completely dangerous for anyone to be in the room with live wiring exposed. A minute or two after the engineer left the front desk called our room and told us to come downstairs to change rooms. We packed up, trucked everything downstairs and they switched our rooms to the room next door (which it would've been nice if they would have offered to help move our luggage or at least tell us to just move it one room over, not bring it all downstairs). The front desk was actually really passive and cold - I found the situation quite shocking and dangerous and they had basically nothing to say about it. I thought it would've been nice if they had said something to apologize for the inconvenience, to offer something in return. It is completely their fault for having faulty electrical equipment in their room and they just wanted us to move rooms and go away - I was just happy to move the room and not be near them since they were such bad vibes - I think other people would've felt disrespected by their behavior. Thanks for the food, won't be back.

Its time for "Story-time with Adam Cole Baby" (don't sue me TK, I'm working class and can't afford the lawyers) The TLDR: This is a serviceable hotel with great front desk and that's about it. I wouldn't feel comfortable with any single female friends/family to stay there by themselves. The very first interaction I had in Dallas, the VERY FIRST was a *ahem* "lady of the night as I was getting out of my Lyft and approaching the front doors of the hotel. She walked directly in my path, looked me in the eye, and with no warning said: "For $50 you can do whatever you want to my asshole" Do you know how hard it is to make me speechless? I muttered and stuttered my way past the woman to check in. Homeless people and working girl are a REAL problem here. In my eight days there every time I left the hotel I ran into one group or the other, some times both. I check in, go to my room, do a quick inspection and in the shower I find.....black mold!!!! An easy enough fix I think, I go downstairs report it to the front desk, go off to the market for supplies, and come back. The front desk guy tells me that he's made a concoction of sorts that gets rid of mold and he's left it in my room for me to apply it in the shower. A VERY WTF moment!! Bro I don't work here, and don't know enough about this chemistry experiment you've cooked up. I go back downstairs and they finally give me a new room. I'm not much of a complainer and I have a clean new room so let's just sleep and see what the next day bring. I wake up and decide to hit the breakfast. I grab some undercooked bacon and potatoes, as I'm grabbing juice I notice the employees were closing everything down (five minutes early but I get it) the really weird/annoying thing was that they were turning the lights off on all the people still eating. It felt like last call at a seedy dive bar. Like I said, I understand wanting to go home but turning the lights out on your guests was a complete and utter FAIL. My last notch in the complain column is that the building itself could really use some attention. When it was raining the ceiling by the front door was flooding like a TLC song. The elevators never seemed clean either. So if I'm going all Final Justice on my review why did I give it a three star and not a one? All the positives come from the front desk agents. Jasmine was the best agent I've had the pleasure to deal with in almost a decade. She was warm, welcoming, and quick as a whip. Every day that I came downstairs she had a different suggestion on where I should go and what I should eat. Honestly if I was building a management team from the ground up, I would poach Jasmine in a heartbeat. So yes on the strength of one employee a hotel gained two stars. Otherwise I can't really recommend stay here until they make some major changes

I loved the motion activated lights that come on at the edges of the bed and under the bathroom sink. It makes a middle of the night walk to the restroom easy, haha. The gym is a good, standard gym for a morning workout. I was super sad there wasn't any room service anymore. I had to Uber Eats my morning oatmeal and coffee and would have rather just ordered from the hotel. The room has a SERIOUS mini bar set up with full size bottles of wine (actually pretty decent bottles!), multiple larger liquors, beer, and snacks. Party out in the room if you want!

    My friend and I wanted to celebrate their birthday at a hotel doing basically nothing which meant…read morethat the hotel we chose was important as we would be spending all of our time there. We only booked for one night and were eager to get things going. Although we were excited, the experience overall was not great. We had to wait 3 hours to check in (check in time is normally at 3PM). Those hours were spent sitting and waiting in the lobby with a bunch of conference people as the hotel was PACKED. We didn't really wish to venture out to the bar as the bar was also packed and very loud. They did check our bags while we waited so we didn't have to keep watch of them which was nice. Once we finally got our hotel room, it was nice at first glance, but there were a few little issues: the fridge/mini bar area is fully stacked and super overpriced (we moved everything to make room for our stuff but it didn't matter because the fridge didn't even work and had lettuce and mayonnaise on the shelf), the drawers for your clothes were sticky and had to be wiped down, they only gave us one roll of toilet paper, and one of the towels was still wet and a little dirty. After doing some cleaning, we found that the room was spacious with a decent view, comfortable, and the bathroom was very cute. We spent most of our time in the room itself but we did venture out and use the swimming pool and hot tub which were both amazing: they were heated, clean, and empty. Because our fridge wasn't working, we decided to get lots of ice for our drinks which turned out to be a bit of an annoyance as the ice machine closest to our room was broken and the next one was a few floors up. With a fully packed hotel and only one working elevator, getting ice took longer than it should have. We had a random request later in the evening (we asked for straws) and the front desk was accommodating and very fast with that request. The next day, when we checked out, we were allowed to extend our checkout time by an hour and also the valet parking (which is normally $55 and the only parking option for the hotel) was comped due to the late check in. Overall, the staff was nice and accommodating but the hotel itself left a lot to be desired. I personally won't be staying here again.

First class customer…read moreservice from the moment you walk into the door from the time you leave even the valley Service is top notch. This spot when it comes to a spa can get very crowded so I recommend getting an early appointment which we did and we had the opportunity to enjoy a lot of the amenities before he got crowded things such as the whirlpool, the sauna the cold plunge and the steam room along with the quiet ambience and snacks. It was wonderful and then of course that top notch 80 minute deep tissue massage was an awesome way to end my day. So overall, I give this spot a five star because it is top-notch all the way.

The room was immaculate, the Uptown location is excellent, and dinner at Fearing's was as good as its reputation. The people I met in person were the real highlight. Amar at the front desk, and Luis and EunSeo in the Club Lounge, were warm, attentive, and genuinely memorable. If my review were based on the stay alone, it would be five stars without hesitation. The reason it is not is what happened after checkout. I raised a question about my STARS credit at the desk and was told everything was fine, though no one could actually show me the line items. When my folio arrived, I replied to the accounting email exactly as invited. I heard nothing. I followed up a second time, then a third. Silence. It took a fourth email, sent directly to a general manager, before anyone responded at all, and the response contained a billing error that had charged one of my credits to another guest's bar tab. I only caught it because I reconciled the receipts myself. It then took a fifth email, with a timeline and check numbers, to get it corrected. To the accounting manager's credit, once he understood the problem he fixed it promptly and refunded the charge. But by then I had spent two weeks proving something that should have taken them one look at the account. For most hotels, this is an ordinary service lapse. For a property that markets itself on owning and resolving guest problems immediately, it is a miss on the very thing that justifies the premium. The stay made me feel like a valued guest. The weeks after made me feel like a ticket number. I will likely give the property another chance, because the in-person team earned that. But if you stay here, keep your receipts and check your folio carefully, because the follow-through may not.
