Austin
Dark, dramatic, architecturally serious modern luxury. Leather furnishings, cast concrete, stone mosaics, floor-to-ceiling windows. It feels like a downtown power move, not a resort retreat.
The $35/day destination fee covers pool access, fitness center, in-room premium coffee, and high-speed Wi-Fi — don't buy those separately.
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide-listed; LEED Silver certified; one of the few downtown Austin hotels with serious design credentials and a four-venue dining program. The Upper Stories suites are genuinely apartment-like. The building also houses a companion 'tommie Austin' hotel sharing amenities.
Thompson Austin occupies the lower floors of a 32-story LEED Silver-certified mixed-use tower at the corner of 5th and San Jacinto, designed by Chicago firm bKL Architecture. Inside, Simeone Deary Design Group went bold: statement concrete walls, jewel-tone colors, polished stone surfaces referencing local geology, and a shou sugi ban wood ceiling above the front desk. No ranch kitsch, no cowboy hats on the wall — this one plays it straight. The 229 rooms and suites run from compact-but-stylish king rooms to full-floor Upper Stories residences with kitchens, washers/dryers, and a personal VIP concierge.
Where You'll Stay
14 room types available
1 King Bed
The entry-level room, and it punches above its weight. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the surrounding streets, and the mid-century modern aesthetic — plush green seating, terrazzo-style floors, sculptural lighting — keeps things sharp. Rainfall shower, D.S. & Durga bath amenities, 55" LG smart TV, SFERRA linens, and a locally curated honor bar.
1 King · 31 sqm
1 King City View
Same DNA as the base king, but you get proper downtown Austin skyline views. The light changes dramatically at sunset. Sculptural lighting, plush green seating, oversized work area, rainfall shower, and D.S. & Durga bath products. The step up in square footage and view is worth it.
1 King · 33 sqm1 King Corner View
The corner positioning gives you extra natural light and a wider sweep of the downtown skyline. At 38 sqm it's the largest of the standard king configurations. Plush bedding, SFERRA linens, rainfall shower with D.S. & Durga amenities.
1 King · 38 sqm
1 King High Floor
Located on the 9th through 14th floors, so the city views open up considerably. Black-and-white terrazzo floors, soft gray rugs, sculptural lighting. Otherwise the same spec as the standard king — this is about the elevation and the view.
1 King · 31 sqm1 King Pool View
Faces the 4th-floor pool deck. Good choice if you plan on spending time at Arriba Abajo and the pool — step outside and you're right there. Same finishes and amenities as city-view rooms: SFERRA linens, rainfall shower, D.S. & Durga toiletries, honor bar.
1 King · 34 sqm2 Queen City View
