Exciting news today as Thompson Hotels just revealed the birth of their new "younger brother" Tommie. The Tommie concept is aimed at the Millennial segment with cool new "crash pad" rooms and "Reading Rooms" as public lounges. The rooms are supposed to start at $200 for their first location in NYC in the Murray Hill neighborhood. Great to see a new hotel brand targeted at the young modern traveler but lets just wait and see if they can execute it properly.
