Ranked as one of the best luxury hotels in Cabo, The Cape Thompson Hotel sits perched over idyllic Monuments Beach, which is famous for being the best surf spot in Cabo San Lucas.
The Cape first opened in Los Cabos in June 2015 making it the first Thompson Hotel property in Mexico.
Architect Javier Sánchez and interior designer Marisabel Gómez Vázquez collaborated to produce a jaw-dropping property they describe as “1960s Southern California meets Baja.” The fusion of retro, surf and clean modern lines pair well with its open air layout and natural materials.
Many architectural touches were utilized to integrate the hotel with its landscape: using rock formations, letting air flow, low-lying lobby and exceptional views were preserved such as the sight line to Cabo’s iconic El Arco.
Most notable is the hotel’s lobby, which has a whale sculpture made from driftwood from Hurricane Odile’s aftermath, an eye-catching art piece.
