For when you need to lay back, lean in, or get immersed in the flavors and culture of the live music capital of the world, you know something memorable is about to happen at Thompson Austin. A place for locals and visitors to let loose poolside or at the restaurants and bars, where the luxe, contemporary vibe is signature Thompson — bold but not showy, complex yet confidently relaxed. With dramatic Austin cityscape views on display, the residential feel of the accommodations creates a setting to refresh and get ready for anything. Check into rooms, suites or residences offering moody hues, gorgeous custom furnishings, floor-to-ceiling windows with roller shade window coverings, and elegant plank floors in a warm gray wood grain. The custom décor mixes midcentury modern with late-century luxury, resulting in elegant spaces that will make you take pause before heading back out into the city. This untamed urban playground celebrates serious revelry from the moment you encounter the lobby’s airy atmosphere of light and shadow, offset by the bold geode-inspired architecture.

Who gave this a traveler award? I paid 700 bucks for an end room that is the smallest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. It’s a concrete prison room. The air condition unit is so loud it sounds like a diesel truck…probably why they left me ear plugs next to the bed and there is some pound banging noises that sounds like a woodpecker that goes off every 30 minutes. It’s like they bought it and did a cheap remodel of old hotel. A super expensive 3 star hotel at best. It’s also loud outside with banging music so be prepared

This isn’t a great hotel but it’s worth a stay if your destination is Sixth Street or you have business in Austin. Rooms are pretty comfortable with really comfortable beds and pillows, decent bathrooms, and okay furniture. One down note. The cement ceiling I suppose is meant to be edgy, but just ends up looking unfinished and weird. Room service was limited but delivered quickly and with cheer. The granola breakfast is especially fast and tastes decent. Coffeehouse attached is pretty good as is the hotel bar. The gym is a real standout for a hotel, so no excuse not to work out. It is awesome, but it is good, and a fine place to stay.

While the rooms at the Thompson are comfortable and the staff as accommodating as possible, the noise levels coming from bars on 6th Street is terrible and made for sleepless nights. I moved to the 5th Street side, but the noise was even worse, since music plays during the day from the pool and you have the added noise of bars at night. I was also able to hear the people staying in the room next to (or above?) me all night coming through the AC vent. If you're looking for a quiet stay, go elsewhere.

Nice hotel. Good location. Very nice bars in the lobby and on the roof top. However, I was very disappointed in the condition of my room. The floors were dirty, bathroom not clean, and I found socks and underwear under the chairs. I would assume that if you cleaned the floors and/or vacuum the rug, then you would have seen the clothing left by the previous guest.

Extraordinary. Extraordinary. EXTRAORDINARY! Do you hear me? If you want the ultimate Austin experience do not waste your time trying out several hotels - The Thompson is it. From food, cocktails, incredible views to superstar customer service (hope you engage Marquez) this place has it all. An electric 4th floor bar area, cozy pool deck, downstairs diner, upscale bites and drinks downstairs as well. A wonderful morning coffee spot (so artistic) and of course the stunning room. Sleep deep or get dressed in beautiful surroundings to hit the town. Immediate walking distance to any kind of bar or restaurant you desire. At the end of your vacation or business trip - This place will have you heading to the airport with a smile on you face and flashing back over the next few weeks about how ultramagical the experience was to everyone in your ground or family. Go!
