When one thinks of an inner-city destination, wellness does not first come to mind. There’s high-tension traffic and an almost certain lack of green space. Thompson Dallas, however, creates a unique urban getaway designed to inspire stress management, self-care, and healthy routines among travelers and locals, every day of the year.

Through their unrivaled attention to personalized hospitality, artfully designed spaces that celebrate the beauty of Dallas’s downtown, and a plethora of bespoke wellness packages and amenities aimed to prioritize physical and mental health, Thompson Dallas offers much needed reprieve from the busyness of city living in an upscale hub for culture seekers located in the heart of downtown Dallas.

Local Focus, National Acclaimed

Thompson Hotels’ Dallas addition to the award-winning portfolio continues the brand’s tradition of highlighting luxury, art, and bespoke traveler journeys with a hyper-locality focus. To that effect, the 51-story downtown hotel is engulfed by the Dallas skyline, marking many picturesque opportunities from the moment you wake up and feel the warm glow of your panoramic windows to clashing a craft cocktail at night on Catbird’s rooftop bar. With many iconic landmarks like the Flying Red Horse and prism-shaped Fountain Place in the backdrop, Thompson Dallas offers a quintessential Dallas experience for all guests and visitors. And with the culinary delights of Little Daisy to Catbird’s vibrant nightlife offerings, Thompson Dallas is the perfect morning start or evening nightcap after a visit to surrounding Dallas attractions like the Dallas Arts District, Victory Park, and Deep Ellum.

Here, the mid-century modern design creates a sleek space of approachable luxury. The clean lines, integrated technology, and artfully designed furnishings craft a calming vibe in each room, invoking a sense of art and serenity at every turn. While you’re here, be present and pull back the blinds. Unwind with a favorite book on the chaise with the effervescent glow of the setting sun permeating throughout the room. Or indulge in a delicious appetizer like the calabaza quesadilla or savory entrée from Thompson Dallas’s in-room dining spring and summer menu. Quick tip, the andouille cheese steak was particularly satisfying and fulfilling.

Wellness By Design

As National Wellness Month ends, Thompson Dallas celebrates wellness and fitness year-round. The rooftop pool’s design invokes mindfulness by offering the perfect balance of urban busyness with unparalleled views of the skyline and a greenspace for yoga and other wellness activities. Day passes are available, starting at $50 on ResortPass.com.

Lounging on the rooftop pool is the ideal escape from the summer heat, which for Texas, often stretches well into September and even October. But as Thompson Dallas creates an atmosphere for peace and relaxation, the onsite gym stands out as one of the best equipped facilities seen in a luxury hotel. With plenty of options for cardio, from multiple rowers, treadmills, and stair-machines, the hotel’s gym also offers a wide range of dumbbells and cable machines that should appease most lifting regimes. Perhaps the most notable inclusion that will excite many health enthusiasts is the tire-flipping machine and punching machine. Bonus points and accolades should go to the team responsible for procuring these.

Bespoke Restorative Packages

While the hotel’s world-class amenities like the rooftop pool and fully stocked gym will pull you from the comforts of your room, Thompson Dallas has carefully curated a series of wellness-themed packages that will keep you satisfyingly situated while lying on the bed, sinking slowly into the couch, or soaking in the free-standing tub. These kits are available to guests every day, allowing you to upgrade any room option with the boxes below.

The Bath Butler Box transforms your in-room bath into a sanctuary of serenity with a crush bath soak kit, a bubble bath bliss kit, and Vagus Nerve bath oil. Pamper yourself with the soothing scents and tantalizing effects of this soak and be rejuvenated for any journey ahead. Continue the complete at-home spa experience with after-bath care provided in the box, including Vagus nerve pillow mist, Acrely Farms CBD Relax Gummies, and moisture-rich eye treatment. This box can be added to your stay for $150.

The Touchless Well-Being Box invites comfort and recovery to your room through an exclusive partnership with Therabody. Adding this option brings the future of at-home fitness with a trio of Therabody’s flagship devices, allowing you to enjoy the healing and therapeutic effects of Compression Boots, for boosting circulation and lymphatic drainage; Massage Eye Goggles, for reducing stress and improving sleep; and the widely-popular Massage Percussive Device, for recovery, tension, muscle fatigue, and soreness. Include this in-room, 24-hour rental for $125.

Lastly, the Disconnect to Reconnect: A Touchless Spa Journey package provides a hands-off approach using compression therapy, hot and cold plunge pools, and infrared sauna and eucalyptus steam rooms. This innovative approach by The Spa at Thompson Dallas incorporates the latest in touchless technology with traditional healing methods, effectively enabling you to recharge and rejuvenate your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This in-spa service is available for 3 hours at $185.

Wholesome Nutrition, Avid Nightlife  

Health and wellness is more than an active lifestyle with habits in mindfulness. While these are both equal parts of the wellness equation, the other equally important aspect is nutrition. Luckily, Thompson Dallas boasts plenty of options to nourish this lifestyle.

The Little Daisy offers an array of freshly squeezed and masterfully created juices to start your morning or offer a post-nightlife recovery. Order a Refresher—which combines the nutritious effects of orange, pineapple, turmeric, and ginger in a flavorful boost of energy—to complete a hearty French Omelette or Corn Bread Benedict. Read more about their Franco-American inspired menu in our recent interview with Executive Chef Patrick.

Catbird’s vibrant night scene continues Thompson Dallas’s wellness approach with a trio of booze-free libations. Toast a glass to sobriety or healthier choices with a flute of Girl With a Pearl, a delicious concoction of strawberry, lemon, and Lyre’s Dry London Spirit. Enjoy a humorous tall glass of pun with Faux Swizzle, a strawberry, vanilla, lime, and pineapple. Or indulge in island time with the Jungle Bird, a flavorful combination of Ritual Zero Proof Rum Alternative, Lyre’s Italian Aperitif, pineapple, and coconut. Whether you’re looking for a nutritious start to your day of museum crawls and urban exploring, or consciously celebrating a night with loved ones, Thompson Dallas’s atmospheric wellness is here to support you in every step of your wellness journey.
