Thompson Palm Springs also offers more than 20,000 square feet of ground-level retail and restaurant space along Downtown’s iconic Palm Canyon Drive, which will include HALL Napa Valley, a 3,400-square-foot tasting room from owners Craig & Kathryn Hall, showcasing selections from their family of wines: HALL, WALT and BACA. In addition, the hotel’s idyllic location provides guests with access to the community’s thriving arts and culture scene, including museums, art galleries, boutiques, and bars and restaurants.

Thompson Palm Springs will be led by general manager Jeffrey Miller, who oversees all operations and commercial strategies for the hotel. A Palm Springs local who has enjoyed the destination for decades, Miller joins the hotel from Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows where he served as general manager for three years.

We truly desire to be a local’s destination.”
