No trip to Houston is good without first going out to the Texas-shaped pool at Altitude Rooftop & Pool situated on the 6th floor at the Marriott Marquis in downtown Houston.

The Southwest Pool & Spa Show, quite a premier event for pool and spa professionals, was organised this year at the George Brown Convention Center. The convention centre is easily joined to the Marriott Marquis which made deciding to go a no-brainer for us and quite a worth to visit the destination.

Texas shaped pool

Without a doubt, the marvellous characteristic of the Altitude Rooftop & Pool at the Marriott Marquis Houston is its uniquely shaped pool, presenting the guests with a different and out-of-world recreational experience. The crowning jewel is the Texas-shaped lazy river, complemented by a beautiful infinity pool, and a large spa.

Texas shaped pool

The whopping 335 million dollar project was all sketched out by Morris Architects and constructed to its specification by Rida Development and Houston First. The outstanding lazy river presents walls and a stainless steel spa that was custom-made by a manufacturer named Natare which designs vessels and equipment for competition, fitness, leisure, and aquatic recreation. Utilising about 100 tons of stainless steel, the materials were manufactured in their state-of-the-art facility situated in Indianapolis, IN.

Accompanying the edge of the rooftop is a noteworthy 77-foot-long infinity pool, where people can enjoy leisure time and check out the Houston skyline and Discovery Green below. The infinity pool comes with a large spa, constructed of two large, overlapping rectangular sections, each one about 8 feet by 10 feet.

The rooftop is decorated with thousands of winter lights and sparkling displays for the time of the winter as part of the “Texas Winter Lights” display. The temperature of the heated lazy river is cosy to 80 degrees. At the time of the spring, each Friday night is fixed to watch movies on the rooftop terrace.

Upgrade your pool experience with high-performance pool pumps that ensure efficient water circulation and sparkling-clean results.

Together with the stress on green technology, the Altitude Rooftop & Pool is coupled with energy-efficient pumps and filters, leading to a reduced carbon footprint and turning it into a more sustainable option for guests who have concerns about the environment. Apart from this, the High Dive rooftop bar and restaurant offer guests the facility which is like a cherry on the cake, that is, a place to enjoy a drink or snack while clicking in the marvellous views.
