The Best U.S. Hotel Openings of 2023

Thompson Houston

Located in verdant Buffalo Bayou Park, the Thompson Houston is an urban oasis in the Texas city. Clad in a glass-and-steel façade, the 36-story mixed-use building boasts a seventh-floor lobby wrapped in earthy colors and organic materials, a sanctuary-inspired spa and wellness floor, a rooftop space starring an infinity pool and expansive pool deck, two signature restaurants, and 172 guestrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows to bring in views of the city skyline.
