The Cape, A Thompson Hotel

Character and identity

Perched just outside Cabo San Lucas with a direct line of sight to Monuments Beach and the granite formations at Land's End, The Cape channels a 1960s Mexico-meets-Southern-California aesthetic through architect Javier Sánchez and designer Marisabel Gómez Vázquez. Views dominate from every angle: the sunken lobby bar (with pool table and a serious top-shelf collection), the infinity pool, the rooms, and The Rooftop, a DJ-driven lounge that pulls in local scene-makers after dark. Manta, Enrique Olvera's first Los Cabos restaurant, anchors the dining. The spa, Currents, leans on traditional therapies in austere treatment rooms scored by crashing surf.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What sets this property apart is the marriage of architecture and setting: almost no other hotel in Los Cabos puts Land's End so directly in your sightline, and Olvera's Manta plus a genuinely serious bar programme make it a destination for food and design literates rather than beach loungers. Book a room with a plunge pool, come as a couple, and aim for shoulder season when The Rooftop still has buzz without peak-week pricing.
