Thompson Dallas REVIEW - MASTER THREAD.
Thompson Dallas appears to be opening tomorrow (November 11, 2020).

---------------
1. Rates are mid 200s. It is a Cat 6. I tried numerous random dates over the next year and couldn't find any points only availability, just pts+cash.
2. I wish more mixed used buildings would put the hotel floors up top. Sooo many newer luxury hotels in the US with no good view. This will be another where best I can tell right now, hotel guests will have somewhat limited views on floors ~10-21.
I get such good treatment at the HR Dallas and GH DFW that I need a compelling stay report before shelling out the extra 100$ to try this out over the next couple of months. Then again, the pool deck, better access to attractions downtown, and the planned restaurants here are very tempting.....

In Office-Hotel buildings, normally the hotel section will be put on upper floors, Hotel-Residential buildings will prioritize residential section and put those residences/apartments on top.

I am just thinking about how in Asia, hotels are on top of it all, but in the US, the hotels are in the shadows.
I lived in a high rise with a great view for a few years, and honestly, the view wore off rather quick. But when you stay in a hotel for a few days (or even a few weeks), a nice view to the city you are visiting is worth a lot to me. Economics varies per city, but apartments for rent usually have a 100-300$ premium for the view per month in a city like Dallas. I would think a hotel could more easily charge 8-20$ more a night (assuming just 50% occupancy) being on top. Now, the tower with PHNY I can see making sense -- selling multi million dollar condos requires only the best possible of everything.
Admittedly, I am not involved in this industry so I might quite be missing something....

Excited to have this as an option once business travel picks up! The regency doesn’t have a lounge and is pretty remote. This is a welcomed addition to Hyatt’s Dallas portfolio.

Anyone stayed here yet? Just wondering how it is as I've got a one night staycation coming up here this weekend with the prive rate. Figured it was a pretty good deal at $300 for the night but free breakfast, $100 credit for dinner (Catbird looks pretty good), and the confirmed upgrade.

The hotel itself seems like it's still in process.
