Parker&Morgan Launches Retail Site For Thompson Hotels

    PASADENA, CA, March 24, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Parker&Morgan has launched a retail platform for Thompson Hotels that will offer guests the opportunity to purchase luxury goods inspired by the style-leading brand, many of which are present at its properties. The online store will bring together a bevy of luxury leaders, including Sferra, Tokyo Milk, Calma E Gesso and Kiki De Montparnasse. The site will also feature a/the Parker&Morgan full "pillow library" which matches guests' sleep styles to the best pillow options for them.

Thompson Hotels is a Commune Hotels & Resorts brand that currently consists of seven one-of-a-kind boutique lifestyle hotels in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Toronto and London, with new properties opening in Los Cabos and Playa del Carmen, Mexico this year.

"Thompson Hotels is known for distinctive design and the decor elements at its properties," says Parker&Morgan CEO Peter Whitford. "This is the first opportunity for guests to bring the on-property experience and inspiration home."

Parker&Morgan partners with marquee hotels and small luxury hotel groups to create exclusive branded online retail shops. These e-stores reflect the distinctive sleep experience of each hotel from the exact mattress in the room to consumer versions of bed linens, towels, robes and even amenities. Parker&Morgan works closely with hotel designers and brand partners to expand the retail offering to gifts and decor reminiscent of their stay.

"Guests are increasingly attracted to travel experiences that are unique and seamlessly represent the local area," adds Whitford. "The retail offering will allow them to try and then buy, bringing together distinctive elements from leading brands and local artisans."

Hospitality leaders have increased their brand footprints to include spas and restaurants. Retail is the next economic horizon. It also creates an intimate guest connection that supports downstream brand loyalty.

"Every detail at a Thompson property is carefully considered to impart a particular feeling on our guests," says Commune Hotels & Resorts EVP, Brand Operations Jorge E. Trevino. "We are excited they now have the opportunity to bring components of their stays home with them, extending their connection to Thompson."

Parker&Morgan manages all aspects of the online site as a seamless extension of the brand's own website. Parker&Morgan are retail and luxury experts who curate and manage the shopping experience, including an on-call Sleep Concierge who can walk guests through the personal details of creating the most restful night or identifying elements from their hotel stay.
