Overview
Located in downtown Kamloops and north of Trans-Canada Highway 1, the Thompson Hotel and Conference Centre is geared towards business travellers who require added amenities such as conference and meeting facilities.
Each of the hotel's 98 non-smoking guest rooms include satellite TV, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, in-room coffee and tea, a hair dryer and an iron/ironing board. Additional amenities for deluxe rooms include a mini-fridge, bathrobes and a daily continental breakfast. Accessible rooms are available upon request and parking is $7 per night. Pets are allowed for $25 per night in standard rooms only.
Hotel amenities include a heated indoor pool, a jacuzzi, a recreational room and a fitness facility. The hotel's conference facilities include an amphitheatre, 4 meeting rooms, a conference room seating 60, and A/V support.
On-site dining is available at two locations: Crush on Victoria (open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner), and The Noble Pig Brewhouse (open Monday through Friday for lunch and dinner, and Sunday for dinner).
The Thompson Hotel and Conference Centre is a 1-minute walk from Lake City Casino and is also close to Thompson Rivers University, Tournament Capital Centre and Hillside Stadium (all within a 9-minute drive west of the hotel). Riverside Park is also west of the hotel, about a 3-minute drive away.
Shopping can be found nearby at Sahali Centre Mall, Columbia Place Shopping Centre and Tudor Village, all of which are within a 10-minute drive southwest of the hotel. (All distances and travel time estimates: Google Maps)
