This soon to open boutique hotel in Hollywood’s Vinyl District is all kinds of groovy

News of the Thompson Hollywood, a new luxury boutique hotel set to open in Hollywood’s vinyl district, has got us in a spin.

Located near Hollywood and Vine, it’s due to complete in Spring 2021 and is accepting booking from October 2021. We’re already anticipating it’ll be the perfect fit for its fashionable Wilcox Avenue location.

The Thompson Hollywood will offer 190 luxury guest rooms with 24 suites, along with a range  of tailored amenities. The hotel will feature two restaurants, scenic views from the rooftop pool deck and lounge, scads of meeting and event space, and a cutting-edge  fitness experience.
