The Cape
1960s Southern California meets Baja — bold modernist architecture, midcentury Latin American interiors, sleek without being stuffy. Equal parts stylish and laid-back. More sceney rooftop-and-DJ energy at night; surfer-cool and chic by day.
Request an upper-floor room — even a standard king gets the full El Arco view, and higher floors avoid bass from The Rooftop bar.
Why It Matters
First Thompson Hotel in Mexico. Designed by Javier Sánchez (JSa Arquitectura). Manta restaurant is conceived by Michelin-starred chef Enrique Olvera. The Rooftop bar is Cabo's first-ever rooftop lounge and landed on Condé Nast Traveler's global top-10 rooftop bars list. Named one of Travel + Leisure's 500 Best Hotels in 2024 and one of the top 10 hotels in Mexico.
Mexico's first Thompson Hotel, opened June 2015 on Monuments Beach — a bona fide surfers' break in Cabo San Lucas. All 159 rooms, suites, and residences look directly at El Arco and the Sea of Cortez. Designed by Mexico City architect Javier Sánchez, the property channels a 1960s Southern California-meets-Baja aesthetic: midcentury Latin American furnishings, copper-leaf bathtubs, timber walls, and hand-painted tile floors. But what makes it the place to stay in Cabo is the combination: Michelin-starred chef Enrique Olvera runs the flagship restaurant Manta, The Rooftop has been named one of Condé Nast Traveler's Top 10 Best Rooftop Bars in the World, and the two pools — one infinity with swim-up bar, one saltwater carved from natural rock — are genuinely spectacular.
Where You'll Stay
15 room types available
1 King Bed Deluxe with Ocean View
Same midcentury Baja aesthetic as the entry room but with a freestanding copper-leaf tub added to the rain shower. The private balcony comes with a hanging daybed for watching El Arco in the distance — genuinely one of the best room features in Cabo.

The entry-level room but don't underestimate it — 44 sq m of bespoke midcentury Latin American design with natural wood elements, cool blue tones, and a full ocean view. Rain shower and cotton kimono robes. Every room category comes with a tequila welcome amenity and craft cocktail bar.
1 King · 44 sqm2 Queen Beds Deluxe with Ocean View
