Best Hotel Block!

We had the best experience with The Thompson. All of the people were so kind and helpful. One of my earrings even broke right before our welcome party, and someone ran us up gorilla glue to fix it 😂. Couldn’t have asked for a better hotel to share our wedding weekend with. Will be going back for staycations and anniversaries to come 🫶🏼

Seriously consider the Thompson Austin for your wedding!

I cannot say enough excellent things about Lisa and the entire team at the Thompson Hotel. We just hosted our wedding there this past weekend (May 2022) and everything greatly exceeded our expectations. From the beginning, Lisa was great at answering all questions we had in a timely manner. She also worked extremely well with our wedding coordinator to ensure that everything (from dinner timing, to room layout, to photo locations) went off perfectly and on time. Lisa went above and beyond her normal duties as the event manager and helped us with behind the scenes décor issues as well. I had an image for what I wanted our wedding to be and Lisa and her team helped blow my expectations away.
They made a room that could fit hundreds of people feel full for a guest count of 80 - 90, the food was delicious and served hot, drink service was on time and no one ever had an empty glass, and the decor (flowers / linens / votives / dance floor / etc.) was setup perfectly.
The Thompson also did a great job ensuring all rooms in our room block were setup and available for when our guests checked in.
If anyone is having a wedding in the Austin area I'd strongly recommend you talk to Lisa and consider the Thompson!!

Wedding bliss in Downtown Austin

We were so happy to sign with the Thompson/Tommie as our headquarter hotel. I love their ‘two properties in one’ concept, offering a smaller, more casual room (the Tommie) for younger or more budget-conscientious guests and the more spacious, luxurious rooms of the Thompson. Both were super hip and beautiful and provided exceptional service. Our daughter loved her big corner suite. The hotel is located solidly in Downtown, close to all the action. We heard so many compliments on the property from our guests. A total win!
