lockmat Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I see they're going for the dated look on the interior. Ok...waiting to see the real product or better renderings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Lockmat, that was EXACTLY what I was going to say. Very dated. Looks like something that belongs in any 1920s saloon. What is this, the Gilded Age? Where is the Titanic docking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 They changed the design of the top again. Now just "M" instead of Marriott Marquis. Looks better than before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Texans quarterback should be #2 making the money gesture with both hands. Other than that, renderings look great, love the Gatsby feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfastx Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Awesome. It will complement the adjacent rail station well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arche_757 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I can't wait to read the reviews about how everything is terrific except the fact the tubbers get stuck at all the 90 degree changes in course on the "River Ride" or whatever it will be called. And to the point that the interiors look dated - its Marriott - they're more conservative than other hotel brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernz Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Does anyone know if the proposed makeover of Avenue of the Americas into a more pedestrian friendly street was approved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towerjunkie Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Does anyone know if the proposed makeover of Avenue of the Americas into a more pedestrian friendly street was approved? I believe it was, it's been mentioned in a thread somewhere, maybe someone could point fernz in the right direction? EDIT: I found it! In this thread.... Convention Center Redevelopment + Future 14-20- Story Hotel, the confirmation could be found in Urbannizer's post (#50)(page 2) I would have linked it but it would probably wouldn't work if I did.

Urbannizer Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 On Friday? Maybe the author made a mistake. Houston First owns the Hilton Americas-Houston and has also provided significant tax incentives to the Marriott Marquis, whose groundbreaking is on Friday. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/retail/article/Tourism-proposal-draws-opposition-5372194.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talltexan83 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 They were setting up a big party tent on the lot this afternoon. Workers are already on site doing some surveying. I'm guessing we'll get the ceremony tomorrow as planned. Glad to see this moving along. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
