The first-ever state-shaped lazy river was constructed for the Marriott Marquis in Houston, Texas which opened in December 2016, and its creating quite a buzz. Featured in a CNN Travel video, the lazy river is a splashy detail to the downtown Houston luxury hotel, which opened its doors just in time to host guests for Super Bowl 51.
Featuring an aerial view of this Texas-shaped water wonder, CNN Travel posted the video to their Facebook page, which has already had more than 12,000 views. The 1,000-room hotel in Houston’s downtown core also features a plethora of new meeting and event space, a rooftop infinity pool, and a special events pavilion. Aside from this amazing Lone Star State-shaped liquid lounging mechanism, vacationers can also enjoy a full-service spa and fitness center, a two-story sports bar, as well as two specialty restaurants.
