Hyatt’s Thompson brand is a staple of the lifestyle hotel category, with locations in popular cities around the world, including Nashville; Palm Springs, California; Savannah, Georgia; and New York. This fall, Thompson is opening its doors to the sun and the sand of one of the country’s most popular hotel destinations: Miami Beach, Florida — and TPG has an exclusive look into some of the fine details about the hotel.
Now taking reservations for stays from Oct. 1 on, Thompson Miami Beach will offer 147 rooms and suites in a stunning new building on 17th Street and Washington Avenue, designed by French architect Rudy Ricciotti, just a few blocks from the beach.
The hotel’s interiors, from acclaimed designer Gulla Jónsdóttir, reflect a midcentury modern vibe with South American-inspired accents. Rooms feature Sferra bed linens, floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies or terraces.
Jónsdóttir’s design infuses the property’s spaces with nature at every turn, especially in the hotel’s atrium, where verdant greenery abounds, contrasting the neutral tones of the other design elements.
Right now, Thompson Miami Beach is staying hush-hush about the hotel’s dining scene, but guests should expect a lobby bar (rendering above), a signature indoor-outdoor restaurant with a French twist on the roof and a rooftop pool with views of Miami Beach’s world-famous art deco buildings and beyond.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Thompson Miami Beach, a chic and eclectic new addition to the destination. Seamlessly blending tropical modernism and South American flair throughout its design, the property will debut a Miami-inspired ambiance with unforgettable experiences that bring the Thompson ethos to life,” Karan Kakar, Thompson Miami Beach’s general manager, exclusively told TPG.
Hyatt’s lifestyle hotel journey in Miami Beach is a good example of how hotels and hotel brands can change quickly. There previously was a Thompson Miami Beach, but that hotel converted into the very popular Confidante under Hyatt’s The Unbound Collection back in 2016. Fast forward to 2025, and The Confidante, which has been undergoing an extensive remodel, has officially reopened as the Andaz Miami Beach — just months before Thompson replants its flag in Miami.
Both hotels are big wins for Hyatt loyalists, with the Andaz providing an excellent beachfront property for guests who might be in beach vacation mode while the Thompson, with its city hotel vibes, will surely become a hot spot for the cool crowd that flocks to South Florida for events like Art Basel, the Miami International Boat Show and the Formula One Grand Prix.
“From sipping a cocktail in the Atrium Garden to enjoying coastal French cuisine at the rooftop restaurant overlooking Miami’s Art Deco architecture, Thompson Miami Beach will be a space for affluent travelers and locals alike to connect and take part in Miami Beach’s renaissance,” Kakar said.
How to book
Rates at Thompson Miami Beach start around $250 or 21,000 World of Hyatt points per night.
