The Cape, a Thompson Hotel is located in the Cabo San Lucas region of Baja California Sur, Mexico.
The Cape was the first Thompson Hotel to open in Mexico, and outside the brand’s signature urban setting. The luxury resort features 161 guestrooms, all with unobstructed views of the Sea of Cortez and the destination’s famed icon, El Arco—a natural phenomenon of granite carved into an arch by centuries of wind and sea exposure.
The Lowdown Venue Setting The Cape, a Thompson Hotel is located 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. Near the southernmost tip of the Baja California Sur Peninsula, it is this secluded shoreline and its picturesque environs that inspired the resort’s name. The Cape is the English translation of “el cabo” and a reference to the property’s unmatched location on one of Los Cabos’ (meaning the capes) eponymous seaside points. This visually inspired name is reflective of the hotel’s distinct personality—a sophisticated and stunning concept, set amidst the white sands and ocean breaks synonymous with the locale.MEETINGS & WEDDINGS playa boasting the iconic El Arco and Sea of Cortez as its natural backdrop.

At The Cape, all guestrooms on property feature private terraces—most with hanging daybeds—allowing guests sweeping views of the ocean and Los Cabos’ famous landmark El Arco, both in room and out. Many also offer free-standing, copper-leafed bathtubs, positioned precisely so that the guest enjoys a direct line of sight to the view beyond, while also maintaining privacy. A collection of artwork gathered from across the globe and custom furniture made from locally sourced wood line the rooms. Amenity displays feature spreads of fine craft spirits and Mexican delicacies, with a particular focus on products local to the region. Guests may especially enjoy the custom tequila amenity, a 750ml hand-etched crystal bottle of Realeza Mexicana 100% blue agave tequila, produced and bottled exclusively for The Cape (available upon arrival in all guestrooms). This unique offering is presented with fresh orange slices and candied mango with chili powder. Each room additionally comes complete with cotton kimono robes and binoculars for whale watching. Inside Scoop The Cape’s full-service spa, Currents, is a particularly unique spa destination in Los Cabos. Softly lit with dark charcoal grey walls and minimal art, this was an intentional architectural and design decision made to remove extraneous stimuli and allow the organic sights, sounds, and natural décor of the nearby desert-meets-the-sea landscape to set the ambiance. It's a must-do for a bride- or groom-to-be looking to relax before the big day, or as a special treat for guests and bridal party members.

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.
Design: Celebrated architects Javier Sánchez and Benedikt Fahlbusch, alongside distinguished Mexican interior designer Marisabel Gómez Vázquez, are the creative force behind The Cape. Together, these talents effortlessly blend the upscale urban sensibility and refined edge synonymous with Thompson Hotels with a vibrant 1960s Baja-meets-Southern California vibe. It is evident throughout the hotel—from the public spaces to the guestrooms—that The Cape is highly inspired by the environment and culture in which it resides. The resort’s unique geographical positioning and precise architectural build allow for unparalleled views of both the ocean and El Arco from virtually any vantage point in the hotel. This connection to the sea and sand is woven throughout the property’s design, as seen in highlights like custom furniture handmade in Mexico; original ceramic pieces from Guadalajara artist Jose Noé Suro; lush native landscaping and greenery that blur the line between indoor and out; two pools located just steps from the beach, one built within a natural rock formation on property; an original sculpture of a life-size gray whale constructed from salvaged driftwood at the center of the lobby; and more. Standout Venue Features: 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. Extra Perks: At the westernmost point of The Cape sits Currents. The intimate, seven treatment room spa was designed by famed Mexican architect Javier Sanchez, in partnership with interior designer Marisabel Gómez Vázquez. Softly lit with dark charcoal grey walls and minimal art, the space minimizes extraneous stimuli so that guests may focus on relaxation and the natural sights, sounds, and scents of the desert-meets-the-sea landscape. Throughout the spa, guests enjoy peeks of the stunning ocean views and indigenous rock formations on property, while a refreshing natural air current flows throughout (thanks to the smart architectural design of Sanchez, this intentional design element inspired the name Currents). The spa features a steam room, sauna, hot and cold plunge pools, a couples treatment room with rain showers and a private pool, and two ocean-view cabanas for al fresco treatments. Guests are literally just steps from the sand and sea when enjoying a treatment at these outdoor cabanas, while the relaxation lobby (featuring the hot/cold plunge pools and an array of infused waters, refreshing snacks, and more) also features this incredible view out to the Sea of Cortez. Attention to detail and refined service are hallmarks of the Currents hospitality ethos, from the warming neck wrap offered post-massage to the veteran and expertly trained staff. The Cape’s fitness center houses state-of-the-art equipment and offers classes, yoga, and private workout sessions; a panoramic, floor-to-ceiling window stretches across the facility, providing unobstructed views of the Sea of Cortez. A full-service salon is available for hair and nail appointments.
