Hotel Derek, Houston's hottest boutique hotel is located in the very fashionable Galleria and River Oaks District. The hotel revels in its split personality: business by day, pleasure by night, corporate digs by workweek, romantic getaway by weekend. By thoughtfully embracing this dual nature, Hotel Derek provides its guests with a chic place to work, play and "Stay In The Loop".
The SceneA conservative exterior belies the hotel's chic appeal, but the swanky lobby - with its dark wood, chaise lounges and bold artwork - offers a preview of what to expect from stylish rooms. Recorded jazz fills the entryway and postmodern furniture (with Lone Star leanings) and a video fireplace decorate the area. Adding to the upscale atmosphere is adjacent Bistro Moderne, one of Houston's most stylish restaurants.The DetailsIlluminated pieces of artwork represent each floor--the 11th floor features a large photograph of a pair of dice showing five and six. Rooms all come with Internet access and web TV. Standard rooms feature hip furniture, like a small love seat resting against the window for a view of the Galleria area. When it's time to turn in, you'll be greeted by cozy down comforters and pillows. Suites and studios double the luxury with glass conference tables, skylights over wet bars and terraces that provide city vistas.
