Downtown Houston is bustling with builds, from new skyscrapers to much-needed residential units.

None, however, can boast of a feature quite like the one coming to the Marriott Marquis Houston.

Aside from the 1,000 rooms and 100,000 square feet of meeting space, the Marriott Marquis Houston will include a one-of-a-kind rooftop lazy river shaped like Texas overlooking Houston's Discovery Green below.

The swanky terrace also will include a separate pavilion, infinity pool and plenty of lush greenery, providing the outdoor space a swanky vibe.

Other amenities of the hotel include a skybridge connecting to the nearby George R. Brown Convention Center.

The $370 million hotel was designed by Morris Architects of Houston and is scheduled for an Oct. 1, 2016 completion.
