Luxury hotel Thompson Atlanta-Buckhead has welcomed Jason C. Bass as its new director of culture and programming. Bass comes to the hotel from the esteemed Hotel Revival in Baltimore, where he was the first-ever director of culture and impact within the Hyatt portfolio.
Bass has a long history of successful ventures in diverse industries. He founded the Treason Toting Company in 2016, a Baltimore-based travel apparel and accessories company with a focus on locally manufactured goods. He raised $600,000 in capital and established a partnership with Baltimore-based sports apparel giant Under Armour.
In 2018, he launched “The Night Brunch,” a pioneering pop-up dining event series that brings people together with music, food, and community. The Night Brunch has organized more than 50 events in top-notch restaurants and hotels and provided 2,200 meals to the West Baltimore community through its Summer Lunch program.
Bass has been recognized for his efforts in the hospitality industry. In 2023, he was honored with the “Maverick Award” from the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, and in 2022, he received the “Impact Award” from MRI Programs. He also received the “Award of Excellence” from Hospitality Design in 2022, and the “Icon of Culture” award from the Indie Hotel Congress in 2021. The Baltimore Business Journal lauded his efforts with the “Leaders in Diversity Award” in 2020, and The Baltimore Times presented him with the “Positive People Award” in 2019.
Bass will now be spearheading the curation of culturally diverse programming at Thompson Atlanta-Buckhead, shaping a community-centric brand strategy, and fostering collaborations with external partners. All of these initiatives are designed to enhance the hotel’s ambiance and offerings. With the stewardship of the current general manager Donte Johnson and the expertise of Bass, Thompson Atlanta-Buckhead is sure to be an example of excellence in hospitality.
