    Amazing comfort with attention to details. Great hotel for an intimate night or two while ordering room service. I love that the park is across the street. I would recommend creating a plan on how you want to spend your day. 3 restaurants on premises but you may want an alternative.

    I came here for dinner, didnt actually stay here but this visit made me put this hotel at the top of my list for a staycation. Beautiful decor, pleasant service.

    We had hotel points to use and decided to book a staycation here. The TLDR version: Pros: - Spacious hotel room - Comfortable bed - Complimentary filtered water and espresso - Beautiful views - Beautiful patio - Delicious burgers and steaks for dinner Cons: - Valet parking: $60/day - Difficult to find hotel entrance on Allen Parkway - Overcooked short rib hash and omelets for breakfast Overall, we enjoyed our stay. If this hotel was bookable again with hotel points, it's a good option.

    I am definitely aggravated right now. I went to a lovely banquet by AWA (association of women attorneys) on friday. Things were fine even though you were forced to use valet. I'm usually leery of valet in Houston regardless of the company. So, I went on to enjoy my evening and at the end of the night they asked us to pay valet upstairs before leaving. Fine. Nbd, right? Wrong. I realized on Saturday they charged me twice for valet. I called after it fully left pending status on my account and they bounced me around a few times in order to get to the right department, or what not. I still do not have the issue resolved. This is not like a $5,000 charge... this should be something pretty quick to reverse. I already wrote a review about my poor experience with the grand opening of the spa and the abrications of a prize I was supposed to win and collect- a spa day and a couple of nights stay and I still haven't had that reward fulfilled yet... There was a manager who reached out here and said he would lick into it and honor my rewards and that's been months now. Still nothing. I wanted to bring my parents here and a couple of my clients for their events but I'm definitely reconsidering after having two bad experiences with the Thompson hotel. That's 0 for 2 right now.

    We had a great stay at Thompson Houston. We were updated to a city view suite, and the night view was amazing. The room was clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Valet parking is $60 per night.

    The Thompson is a modern sky scraper boutique hotel within a complex that includes 3 restaurants, a coffee shop and a gym in the same development. It's an interesting set up- after pulling up to valet you take an elevator to 7 where the check in takes place in a lobby with beautiful views of downtown. There's a restaurant on that level that I'm sure has great views. Our room looked out the same way from the 15th floor which we enjoyed. Beds were comfortable. Spacious restroom and good shower. Hyatts usually have their act together really well. It's not Ritz Carlton by any means but what elevated our stay from 4 to 4.5 stars rounded up was the friendly service. We ordered room service which arrived 20 mins earlier than promised both times. The servers were both really nice. However the person that set the tone for great service was Yolanda in reservations. She had taken my call before our arrival when I had a few questions about our stay and had wanted to confirm a few things. She answered all my questions and set my expectations on check in details and she was so nice on the phone that it gave me a good feeling about the upcoming stay. Then as we were on the road to Houston she called me back to let me know that our room had gotten ready earlier than anticipated which really helped our planning. She's an excellent communicator and has great follow up! Rare in these days! She set the 5 Star tone! We also were able to use the hotel's car service to drop us at the nearby Wortham Center for a concert- really helpful. It's first come first served. It looks like there is a paid parking lot if you don't want to use the valet (pretty pricey at like $60 something). Valet charged by the night with in and out privileges. So the only thing that I would have rated lower is the room service food. Out of a dinner and a breakfast the food was just average. Crab cakes tasted somewhat bitter for some reason and were partially burned. The asparagus was a bit too charred. Burger was pretty good but a bit small-ish. Caesar salad was pretty good. Short rib hash for bfast - meat didn't have much flavor. Had good potential (eggs and chopped red onions with it were good) but didn't achieve it. Pancakes were a bit burned on one side. Breakfast sandwich was enjoyable. Despite the lackluster food experience I would definitely stay here again if I'm visiting downtown.

    We had a great time at The Thompson Houston. The hotel is a beautiful, well located space in Houston. It is in a slightly quieter part of the city but with extremely convenient drive times to other major parts of the city. The proximity to the Bayou is also nice if you want to walk around the park. The interior is beautifully decorated and there is a great rooftop pool/patio bar. Our room was spacious and well laid out with great amenities. Although our stay was short, we found our stay at The Thompson to be one of the highlights of our trip and we would certainly come back. My only con was that valet was a bit pricy at $50+ per night and I didn't always feel that it was the quickest or best customer service. Other than this, we were very pleased with our stay.

    Top tier luxury hotel!! Parking is very simple, they have a massive lot that splits off into two separate lots but both are in the same area as the hotel so it takes you seconds to walk from your car to the hotel. If you can't walk very far or just don't want to, they have valet parking as well. I wish I could have remembered to take a pic of the pricing because mine was comped due to me being there for an event. As you walk up to the doors, they are opened for you by hotel staff who kindly greet you and welcome you with open arms! Guest check in is on the 7th floor. The 7th floor is where most of the action is happening!! They have several bar, one inside and one outside via a mobile setup. You can also order a variety of food from the bar/restaurant inside. There are unlimited lounge areas for guests to utilize. They have outdoor and indoor seating! The pool is massive, almost Olympic size with the most epic view of the skyline. While here, they have cabanas, poolside chairs and lounge chairs and couches that you could sit down at. There was always plenty of seating each time we went down for a swim. You can order from their poolside menu, both drinks and food. They have a DJ come in and play tunes from 3-6 each day. They usually have a liquor sponsor what passes out complimentary cocktails and or sparking wine to guests poolside and they also pass out complimentary snacks to beat the heat. Our room was top tier, down to the detail on the TV screen. They have a personalized welcome note on the TV screen. The beds and pillows are the softest you will probably lay on in a while! It feels like you're floating on cloud 9. The walk in shower is fit for queens!! I enjoyed their bath products and the giant lighted makeup mirror. We had the perfect view of the skyline from our room too!!

    This is a gorgeous hotel! My husband booked the king suite with city views and it did not disappoint! He also purchased the romance package, which was perfect! The room was comfy and the shower was amazing! We were gifted a bottle of rosé at check in. Both check in and check out was seamless. Everyone--from valet to front desk personnel--was courteous and welcoming. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and look forward to going back!

    United had a meltdown and dumped me halfway through a trip home, leaving me in Houston unexpectedly for two days without my bags. The saving grace in all of that was finding this hotel and making the best out of my 48 hours. The Thompson Houston was fabulous! It is breathtaking, from the views, to the common areas, to the rooms. Everything is modern, tasteful, spacious and high end. The design of the hotel is unparalleled! The staff were always welcoming and friendly and made our stay very comfortable. The location is also fantastic. It's across from a huge park with trails (you can borrow e-bikes from the hotel to explore the surroundings) and it was a relatively short walk (15-20 minutes) to downtown. Ubers were also super easy to get around and they have a nice, clean house car that will drop you off anywhere you need to go in the area for free. The service in the restaurant was slow, but otherwise the food is good and the setting is relaxing, bright, and comfortable. I'm so glad I had a chance to stay here and would recommend it to anyone staying in Houston!

    Here today! The Thompson Hotel hosted journalists, photographers and press to review the 2026 Hyundai's Genesis GV 70 and 80 good Lord I just love my occupation! That's a fine luxury driving car, they handle very well on the open road. Ok look, the Genesis have speakers underneath the seats, I slammed on the breaks during traffic and she damn near stopped herself, smooooth ride I mean smooth, I took a corner fast and she turned without yanking my neck, I put her in sports mode on the Hardy Toll and I know I was doing 90 mph she felt like 65 mph, quiet ride too, I played Megan the Stallion Weneva song and I imagined myself in her video when she was driving feeling myself. I was turned off by the dashboard, naaaa too much. Oh I'm sorry it's about Thomson Houston. Staff was highly trained at professionalism, because this assignment was in our plan clothes they treated me as if I was a guest at the hotel. Several times I was told guest rooms were on the 7th floor lol, I always played along and told them my person was coming down :) The Hotel smelled AAAMAZING, I wasn't sure if the fragrance was coming from the FENDI store adjacent to the hotel or what. The Thompson Hotel lies in the heart of Houston, Tx Downtown which makes it perfect for tourists and those that love to run, walk or bike. Memorial trail can be seen outside the hotel window especially Thompson 2 restaurants. Many fine restaurants are in walking distance and Houston's exciting night life. If you try to ride share to the hotel, careful it will direct the driver into a lot across the way. Here today. See you there tomorrow!

    Loved the property. The staff was superb. We hit a few bumps when it came to service but they were more than accommodating. I did book a king size room with a small couch in the room and that's not what I got, seemed like a small version of it. It does get pretty loud at night with Toca Madera right next door to it...which we love and dined there. Their in room dinning was not the best and Sol restaurant service must be understaffed because the wait on everything was almost unbelievable. The pool was fabulous!! Loved their gym and the fact that they give you access to the gym next door was the best!!

Our standard room was excellent with a large shower and a bed that was beyond comfortable. We were overlooking the pool area, and it looked mighty inviting, maybe next time. We loved seeing all the old movie posters and unique décor in the lobby and conference rooms. Even the restrooms have themes!

They charged $8.85 for using their mini bar food. I'm a full grown adult staying with my wife, no children at all. While I called the hotel to dispute it, the lady did not want to investigate or refund about it. What? I'm a full grown adult calling to dispute about $8 after I deliberately used it? Was I supposed to write down an inventory list of what's within fridge and take pic as a proof? Was I supposed to ask for their agreement prior to using their fridge to store my water? Thats fucking insane. It's not about the price, it's about the fact that I did not consume their drink. If you hate money, come here. 2 stars not 1 star because to be fair, the hotel room is comfortable. Staff is friendly. Well, never again. Extremely disappointed.

Not once did we feel uneasy (and we live in the Houston area - did a staycation for my husband's birthday). A few years ago, it would be a different story. There are a few homeless in the general area, but they aren't disruptive. We stayed in room 705, complete with a city view. It was quiet and lovely. I wish the rooms had a full-size fridge and cooking area, but for downtown, the suites are just as big as a studio apartment. There's space-themed decor throughout the hotel. I found the valet pricing to be a bit steep, and unfortunately, I have reason to believe two pairs of sunglasses were stolen from my vehicle. (I realize they should have been put in my purse immediately after use, but it slipped my mind, and out of habit, I put them in the console.) Regardless, it's frustrating. It also took 10-15 minutes for valet to pull our car around, so that's something to keep in mind. The evening reception was nice, especially with the two drinks/person/night. We had chips and queso, though they had a few other offerings. Make sure you get the card at the front desk. The front desk staff will also try to sell you on destinations for a cheap rate. I'm not sure when this became a thing, but instead of telling us about the evening reception and breakfast, they tried selling us on a stay in Chicago. I really just wanted to go to our room since I did everything on the app. We also found the breakfast to be worth every penny to stay in this hotel. I can't have gluten, and there isn't any GF bread. I had eggs, potatoes, grits, and coffee. There were cereal, fruit, yogurt, and waffle-making options as well. I appreciated the coffee bar having various syrups. The hotel was extremely accessible for those with disabilities/handicaps. We saw several people in wheelchairs or with assistance. Hearsay on the Green is inside the hotel, and the food is priced well for what you get (and it's excellent). If you DoorDash, the Dasher has to leave your food/items at the front desk. They are not permitted to go up to guest rooms. The rooftop pool and hot tub offer views of the city and Toyota Center (excellent people watching). Overall, I'd stay again (but I'd ensure I brought my cheap sunglasses and not my Maui Jims).

And while the whole experience will hit your wallet, it is worth it. Let's face it, you're staying here because of either the convenience of the lovely restaurants connected to the hotel or because of the rooftop pool with the Texas-shaped lazy river. Fortunately, both of these factors live up to it's promise and glamour. The restaurant options are aplenty; all that connect to the hotel lobby. Prestigious options such as Xochi, Biggio's, and Walker Street Kitchen are all here. Xochi is the only one we visited during out time there and it's well worth the experience (see my review on that). The rooftop pool has several seating/lounge sections along with a full bar/restaurant at the front area. Additionally, there is a hot tub and a pool on the left side where you get a nice view of the Houston skyline and the Texas-shaped lazy river floats around all of these attractions. It's the main reason why you're coming to this hotel in the first place! Other amenities I liked is the very large fancy exercise room and the club area where they serve complimentary breakfast for platinum and titanium members. The breakfast has some delicious items including fresh pastries, charcuterie selections, and the scrambled cheese eggs. And there's a cappuccino machine included if you want something more fancy than coffee. All these things I've listed and I haven't gotten to our room! Well we had a clean king sized bedroom that directly overlooked the rooftop pool giving us a nice view of what we would be engaging in during the afternoon. The room also has a safe in the closet if you want to store any valuables. As I mentioned, it's gonna be pricey staying here with all the perks I listed. But would I do it again? HELL YEAH!

Most of the chairs were reserved, and the remaining ones were either occupied or being used by day-pass guests. For a hotel that promotes its resort-style amenities, there simply isn't enough seating to accommodate everyone. The hotel seems to have lost sight of the guest experience. There also wasn't enough staff to manage the long lines throughout the property. Curry at the front desk was friendly and professional during both check-in and check-out, and I truly appreciated the great customer service. Unfortunately, some of the other staff members came across as if they disliked their jobs and interacting with guests. Our valet attendant upon arrival also seemed hostile. The lobby is beautiful, but the guest rooms and restrooms feel dated, especially considering the price point. The mandatory $25 daily resort fee is only applied as a dining credit at the on-site restaurants, which may not be valuable to every guest. On our first night, the shower leaked, and the hotel accommodated us by moving us to another room. They also provided a complimentary cheesecake, although it was stale. The towels were rough, and the robe and slippers felt cheap and disappointing for a hotel at this price point. Overall, there are better hotel options in the area that offer a more enjoyable experience and better value for the money.

There was a lot of open space in addition to the king bed and the living room area. Even though it was February, it was actually quite warm and humid inside the room. We had recently experienced temperatures in the teens in Dallas, so being in a room with the temperature in the mid 70s, seemed unbearably hot. We had to find the A/C and turn the temperature down a few degrees. The hotel is located near the arts district where we were planning to spend our Saturday. The earliest we could checkin was 3pm, so we spent our day visiting the city and just left our luggage in the car. Checkin was super easy since we already had a reservation. Parking was included. The property has a fence around it, so the parking felt relatively secure. It was also well lit. The spots in the front were mostly taken, but you could drive around to the back of the building and easily find a space. The hotel has an elevator, but it is very slow. We used the stairs quite a bit, but found the elevator useful for carrying our bags upstairs. The view was limited and not very appealing, but the building only has about three floors. Amenities like a pool, gym, and laundry facility were also available at no added charge. The Wifi name and password were printed on the room key to make it easy to connect. Breakfast was included. The breakfast area had several tables. the meal is buffet style. They do have hot items like scrambled eggs, sausage, and breakfast tacos. You can make a waffle or toast bread or a bagel. Cold items like juice, yogurt, cereal are also an option. Two staff members were there making sure food was readily available and that things were kept clean. There were a few items that bothered me about this particular hotel. One, there was no TV reception in my room. I couldn't believe there weren't any channels, not even local channels! I was also annoyed that the bathroom sink was not draining properly. My husband had to play with it to get it to drain at all, and even then, it took a very long time for the water in the sink to empty after washing my hands or brushing my teeth. Lastly, the light switch at the entrance of the room only controlled the lighting in the entryway. I had to go around and turn on individual lights to feel like it wasn't so dark. These were minor inconveniences, but for the price, I would have expected these not to be an issue at all. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant and went out of their way to help me. On the day of our departure, my husband wasn't feeling well. They provided me with some bottled water as well as a Sprite to help his stomach. I was so touched by this offer. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We both got a good night's sleep.

Basic information like parking ($20/night), amenities, and breakfast was not informed unless we asked. We were placed on the first floor, first room by the elevator, gym, and kitchen even though the hotel appeared half occupied at best. We could hear conversations by the elevator, and a strong bacon smell filled our room every morning, which was very unpleasant since I don't eat meat. The side door from the rear parking didn't work initially, forcing us to walk around the building in freezing weather. When reported, the same receptionist was dismissive, saying no one informed her. Despite the convenient location, this was quite an unpleasant stay and we will not return!

    Review is for Afternoon tea: There was a 7 min wait to get in but once in, you are getting by staff…read moreand led to your table. I would say the decor is very old fashion lounge with there being a mix of table with chairs or chairs paired with a couch. Our server seemed very nice but a bit new as she could not tell me if one of the teas was decaf right away. Also, I made a note that I could not have tuna but they took this as I could not have fish so they gave me two chicken salad sandwiches instead of the salmon even though I had stated on the phone salmon was fine. She also could not describe one of the desserts but overall she was very pleasant. The amuse bouche was - interesting ( a strawberry with cream cheese) I didn't hate or love it. I didn't think the cream cheese added anything tbh. We had one dessert on the table waiting for us before we said down - a English parfait that had a white chocolate mouse, cake, and fruit. I loved it although it was a bit strange to have dessert already sitting at your table before you got your sandwiches but I am a dessert first girl so didn't matter to me other than it was constantly calling my name. You don't get to choose your tea and the two tea options are both black which is a lot of caffeine. The sandwiches themselves come across as unassuming but they are great and very filling. Each one has a different bread which was cool. Although not a fan of cucumber, the bread was milky and so soft. All the sandwiches were fantastic. Honestly, I was so full from the tea and sandwiches, I took the desserts home. One big misstep in service was the server forgetting to serve the second tea. I had to ask for it and by the time we got it, we were tea'ed out. You are gifted a box of macarons at the end - we almost left ours but our server ran and got us in time. I definitely had a great time, there were small incidents that stopped it from being 5 stars. Paying 79 dollars for tea is a bit pricy so I would expect a bit more precision and maybe more choice in tea?

    Afternoon tea is always a delight! A variety of teas are served with various sandwiches. That is…read morefollowed by a scone with clotted cream and jam. The grand finale is a plate of three pastries - a fruit tart, a fruit custard pie (mango?) and a large decadent chocolate ball with gold leaf. Harp music adds to the ambience and the service is top notch. Treat yourself!
