Slated to open in fall 2020 and being developed by Todd Interests, the 219-room Thompson Dallas will be located downtown in a re-development of the iconic 52-story First National Bank Tower—a recognizable fixture of the Dallas skyline. Billed as The National, the architectural design for the project is being led by award-winning Dallas firm, Merriman Anderson Architects, who are restoring many of the 1961 building’s original elements, including historic marble from the Parthenon quarry. Contemporary furniture and works of art by local, national and international artists will complement the building’s historic touches.
