Commune Hotel + Resorts will bring the Thompson Hotels brand to Playa del Carmen, Mexico as part of a transformative, mixed-use project from Mexico-based real estate development firm, Thor Urbana.
Says Niki Leondakis, CEO of Commune Hotels + Resorts, “This deal marks our ongoing expansion into resort areas and the growing presence of Thompson-branded lifestyle hotels in Mexico and throughout Latin America.”
Slated to open in 2015, the Thompson Playa del Carmen will feature 125 rooms and suites and will be the only hotel in Playa to have both a central 5th Avenue and beachfront location. The hotel is Commune’s second in Mexico following its Thompson Los Cabos project, which is currently under development.
Totaling more than 300,000 square feet, the overall development will also include international retail, cafés, and restaurants. The hotel’s 30,000-square-foot rooftop, where an infinity pool and other amenities will be located, will also host a signature culinary concept with views of the town and Caribbean Sea.
