PB hotel design editorial

Perched on a volcanic rock promontory where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez at Baja's southern tip, the building that houses The Cape, A Thompson Hotel was conceived by Mexico City practice Sordo Madaleno as a direct geological argument — dark concrete and raw stone stacked in horizontal planes that echo the basalt cliffs dropping below. Opened in 2015 with 161 rooms across five floors, the property was designed to make the water impossible to ignore: every guest room faces the ocean, floor-to-ceiling glazed panels framing views that shift from turquoise to deep indigo depending on the hour and the swell. Intersect Studio handled the interiors, working in a palette that borrows from the Baja landscape without leaning on folkloric shorthand — dark-stained walnut platform beds with generous leather headboards, encaustic cement tile floors patterned in soft geometric motifs, sisal area rugs grounding the rooms against the brightness flooding in from private terraces. The suites push further, introducing walnut plank wall cladding, curved upholstered sofas in warm grey, and curated contemporary art commissions that give individual character to what could easily have been generic categories. The bar and lobby pavilion, visible in the images, is where the architecture becomes most theatrical: charred timber ceiling planes, radiating warm-toned wood slat screens, and a long leather banquette curve around a central bar — a composition closer to a mid-century Mexican hacienda reinterpreted through a modernist lens than anything out of the international resort playbook.

The Cape, A Thompson Hotel Reviews

4,579 reviews

"Our stay at The Cape, a Thompson Hotel exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived until the day we checked out, the service was truly outstanding. Every member of the staff—from the front desk and housekeeping to the pool attendants, restaurant team, and room service—was warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. I wish I had written down everyone’s names because they all deserve recognition. Every request, no matter how small, was met with a smile and handled immediately. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. The architecture and design create a beautiful organic, earthy atmosphere that feels both luxurious and relaxing. Everything was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained. Our room was spacious, comfortable, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with incredible views that made it difficult to leave the balcony. The food throughout the property was exceptional. Every meal was fresh, beautifully presented, and of outstanding quality. We also enjoyed the spa, which was wonderful and added another level of relaxation to our stay. One thing I especially appreciated was having both a beautiful saltwater pool and a traditional pool. While the ocean in front of the hotel is generally too rough for swimming, the saltwater pool more than made up for it and quickly became one of our favorite places to relax while still enjoying the incredible ocean views. We were in Cabo for a wedding, so over four days we experienced nearly every part of the resort, and the level of service never wavered. It’s rare to find a hotel where every department consistently delivers such a high standard of hospitality. Another bonus is the location. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance, including one with fantastic Mediterranean cuisine, live jazz, and live music, making it easy to enjoy the area without going far. The Cape delivers everything you hope for in a luxury resort: beautiful accommodations, incredible food, breathtaking views, exceptional amenities, and, most importantly, a team of people who truly care about making your stay memorable. We can’t wait to return. Highly recommended."

"I must say the property is beautiful. The rooms were well laid out and the pool and gym are great. But it ends there, the food and beverage are wildly overpriced. The pool is more like a hot tub as it’s heated and about 90F at all times, super uncomfortable. The sunken bar we ordered wine and the waiter emptied the bottle and it wasn’t a full pour and had to summon the sommelier to pour the rest of the glass and apologize. $30 a glass and they are pouring you two ounces. Drinks are extremely overpriced and not that good. The food leaves a lot to be desired, except the French toast at breakfast which is fantastic. Pool service is very slow, 30-40 mins for Chicken quesadillas after watching other orders come before mine that were order after mine. No apology no nothing when it obv forgotten about. I can go on and on. If you want a beautiful hotel and location this is it, but I suggest dining out like we did for two of the evenings."

"My second stay at The Cape was every bit as amazing as my first, and somehow they managed to make it feel even more special. Before I even arrived, the team sent me a personalized welcome text, and when I got to my room, I found a handwritten note welcoming me back. Those thoughtful touches immediately made me feel like a valued returning guest and set the tone for an incredible stay. The hospitality throughout the trip was exceptional. Lenny, Gustavo, and Fabian at the pool were absolutely fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always making sure we had everything we needed while creating such a fun and relaxing atmosphere. A special thank you to Cesar at The Ledge, whose service was impeccable. He consistently checked in on my friend and me throughout each meal, making sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. His professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly stood out. From the beautiful property and breathtaking views to the outstanding food and genuinely caring staff, every part of the experience reminded me why The Cape is one of my favorite hotels in Cabo. It’s rare to find a place that not only remembers returning guests but makes them feel so appreciated. I left already looking forward to my next visit and can’t wait to return during busier season. Thank you to everyone at The Cape for another unforgettable stay!"
