Looking for the perfect summer vacation that won’t break the bank and is close to home? The Marriott Marquis in Houston makes the perfect weekend getaway.
Prime Downtown Houston Hotel Location
Located right in the heart of downtown Houston, the Marriott Marquis is an easy drive from major cities such as Austin and Dallas, and an even quicker drive from Houston. With Daikin Park and the George R. Brown Convention Center located on either side of the hotel, you are in the middle of the action.
Discovery Green is across the street, where visitors can enjoy a nightly walk or scooter ride. There are multiple bars and restaurants within walking distance for you to enjoy; however, the hotel is equipped with so much you won’t even need to leave!
Dining at the Marriott Marquis Houston
Biggio’s is conveniently located downstairs. Visitors can enjoy the array of TVs and watch the Houston Astros right across the street from where they play! If you come before a game, expect to see a sea of orange and blue.
Cueva and Xochi are two options for a nicer dinner. Also located downstairs, you don’t have to walk far for date night- or worry about a ride home!
Walker Street Kitchen and Texas T are two options available for breakfast. Walker Street Kitchen has a breakfast buffet, as well as brunch and lunch options. They are farm-to-table, so you know what you are eating is fresh! Texas T has your daily Starbucks fix.
High Dive is the outdoor bar and grille. Located next to the famous Texas shaped lazy river, they are ready to serve you with all the drinks and poolside snacks you need for a great day outside!
Pro Tip: Join the Marriott M club and get access to special appetizers and desserts.
Altitude Rooftop & Pool
Perhaps the best part of the hotel is the Texas shaped lazy river. Located on the sixth floor is the Altitude Rooftop. Here, guests can order drinks and food from High Dive, enjoy the scenic downtown views, relax on lounge chairs or float the lazy river.
If you want a more private stay, you can rent cabanas for the day and enjoy your own space. There are tubes available for your floating needs, and the music is always top-notch. They have various movie nights and events, so be sure to check the event calendar before your stay.
