Editorial Review for Hotel Derek – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
A 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 Details
Illuminated 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.

I recently spent two nights at the Hotel Derek and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. To start, the hotel is located at 'main and main' in the Galleria, just a short walk or drive from the mall. Upon arrival, I was very impressed with the level of service and attention I received from the time I stepped out of my car to the time I was finished checking in. I have been to many boutique hotels throughout the country, but there is something special to be said about the Derek lobby -- contemporary and stylish with a Texas flare to it! Although I arrived on the later side, I was very surprised by the level of activity and energy in the lobby and in the restaurant Bistro Moderne, where I dined the first night. The restaurant is French inspired with a local influence to it and I thought the food was very well-balanced and not overly priced (as many hotel restaurants typically are). For me, I am very particular when it comes to room accommodations and unfortunately, many boutique hotels have small rooms. This was not the case with the Hotel Derek. I was very surprised at how spacious the rooms were and how well amenitized they were. The room had a great modern décor, but was very sophisticated with the quality of bath products and mini bar items. The large glass work-desk in the room was also great for me as I needed to do a few hours of work while I was in Houston. Most importantly, I had two of the best night's sleep I can remember at the hotel -- there is something to be said about how comfortable that bed was! I even went as far as asking the hotel manager what type of bed it was, but I guess its custom made and I won't be able to get the mattress in a store. Too bad!! I have stayed at several hotels in Houston before, but this hotel really has everything I am looking for -- trendy, sophisticated, comfortable and highly amenitized. I cant wait till I return!

This was absolutely the worst hotel I have ever stayed at! I travel for work and stay in hotels all the time. I was very disappointed in Derek. They offer valet-only parking, saupposedly at $20 a night, unfortunately I got charged $122 bucks for my two nights of parking. I have attempted to contact the hotel on multiple occassions in order to straighten this out, yet no one will return my calls and the contact email address provided on the website does not exist. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. There are plenty of great hotels in the same area that are much nicer with friendlier staff.
Pros: comfortable bed
Cons: horrendous customer service, outrageous parking, no problem resolution
