The Cape, a Thompson HotelEST. 2015

The Cape, a Thompson Hotel debuted in June 2015 in the Cabo San Lucas region of Baja California Sur, Mexico, situated along one of the most desirable stretches of white sand in Los Cabos: the world-renowned surfers’ paradise known as Monuments Beach. The all-new luxury hotel features 161 guestrooms, all with unobstructed views of the Sea of Cortez and the destination’s famed icon, El Arco—a stunning natural phenomenon of granite carved into an arch by centuries of wind and sea exposure. The first Thompson hotel to open in Mexico, The Cape effortlessly blends the brand’s upscale urban aesthetic with a distinct 1960s Baja-meets-Southern California vibe. Guests enjoy two pools, including an infinity pool with swim-up bar and another built within a natural rock formation found on property; a sixth-story rooftop lounge and garden with unmatched views of the city and sea; an intimate spa and fitness center with a private outdoor cabana for treatments with an ocean view; and a diverse array of chef-driven food and beverage destinations (including a signature restaurant from acclaimed Mexican Chef Enrique Olvera). One-, two-, and three-bedroom Suites and Villas are available, including four, two-story Penthouse Suites with private rooftops and plunge pools and the premier Surfer Villa—a two-story luxury suite ideal for a luxe vacation, private event, or intimate wedding. Every guestroom on property offers unobstructed ocean views, as well as outdoor terraces—many boasting hanging daybeds for enjoying the picturesque surroundings.

• Every room on property offers stunning, unobstructed views of the Sea of Cortez and famous El Arco monument. Superstar architect Javier Sanchez had this in mind when he positioned the hotel just so architecturally – he wanted to ensure every guest enjoys this gorgeous setting to the fullest.
  
  Overall the look and feel of the resort is quite unique among its luxury neighbors. The Cape blends modern architecture with an open-air layout and integration of its natural Baja surroundings for a contemporary-meets-organic feel (a pivot from the more traditional, stucco-clad look of other luxury resorts)
  
  The Cape is located directly on Monuments Beach, an intimate stretch of sand celebrated the world around for its famous left hand surf break. It’s one of the few left hand breaks in the area (if not the only) and has become a go-to spot for surfers in the know. While beaches are not typically private in Los Cabos, this particular beach avoids the crowds as it's tucked off the main drives of Cabo San Lucas. So for beach lovers, it’s a nice respite from the busier options in the region—and all you have to do is walk out of your room to enjoy it.
  
  The Cape also brings a compelling lifestyle element unique to Cabo – while it’s a short distance from the famous Cabo San Lucas nightlife scene, guests can enjoy a more intimate, sophisticated take on entertainment without ever leaving the hotel. The Cape features a rooftop lounge, bar and craft beer garden with a resident DJ spinning (and has played host to star-studded celebrations with talent including Samantha Ronson, Ana Calderon, IO Echo, and others)
  
  Manta – for the foodies, The Cape’s signature restaurant is helmed by multi-award-winning chef Enrique Olvera. Following the ceremony, guests can celebrate in style at a reception filled with true Mexican hospitality. Menus crafted by the kitchen of celebrated Chef Enrique Olvera can be customized to include everything from passed hors d’eovures like duck confit “barbacoa,” jalepeno conch fritters, and green chorizo and lobster on corn sopes to stations featuring ceviche and tiraditos, tamales, quesadillas, and more. Dessert examples include multigrain churros, bunuelos and chocolate sauce; cinnamon rice pudding with dried fruits; and mango cheesecake with spiced berries compote. Bar packages can be designed to showcase the best Mexican flavors and products including tequila, mescal, fresh fruit margaritas, locally brewed beer, and signature cocktails. Custom cocktails can also be crafted by award-winning bartender Osvaldo Vasquez, upon request.
  
  The Cape’s Penthouse and Villa options include expansive outdoor patios, some with private plunge pools and BBQs, full kitchens and cocktail bars and is a lot like staying in your own Baja home. However, at some resorts, this can mean staying quite a ways away from the excitement and lifestyle happenings of your hotel, and requiring a golf cart or transportation to get to the dining, spa, lounges, and more. Not so at The Cape. While guests can enjoy the feel of residential living if they so choose, the intimate 161-room boutique hotel is designed to ensure guests are always just a brief walk from the sixth-story rooftop lounge, spa, pools, Manta and more.
