The hotel location is really good, near the Galleria area, with a lot of restaurants and shopping stores, and right beside the beltway '610' which gives you quick access to other places. The room is nice, comfortable, and modern. The restaurant has good food offerings and a cool environment. The gym is Ok, too. The only issue with this hotel,... More

After a horrendous experience at another hotel, my company moved me to this hotel. What a difference. Night and day! This is truly boutique five star service. When I checked in they only had a double bed room, which was quite wonderful, however they said they would move me the next day. When I returned from a long day at... More

The reception staff were a bit colder than what you find in most american hotels. The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location in case you want to go shopping since Galleria mall is very close. I must say I found the restaurant prices very high and the typical annoying case of high price tiny portions.

working on a construction sight in steamy weather is bad enough. walking back to my car through mud made it even worse. i was embarrassed to even pull into the valet area with my car let alone looking like hell. but the valet park my car close by with out looking down his nose at me. even as the B'mers...

Hotel Derek has a very contemporary look with a small lobby and attached restaurant, Valentinos. Though the hotel appeared clean and tidy, the room and towels had a funny smell. Bed was very comfortable. Though we were supposed to get a free gift (choice of free valet, free movie or free breakfast buffet) for each room (we reserved 2 rooms),... More

Excellent and very nice hotel to stay during your visit in Houston. Rooms are good and nice. Breakfast cost you $ 14,95 each when pre booked otherwise $ 19,95 when booked at check in. The breakfast overall is excellent. The Galleria area is the place to stay when in Houston. Houston downtown is so so quiet. Nothing to do there.... More

You pull up to this hotel and you know there is something very special about it! After traveling 4 hours in the rain from Dallas Ft. Worth to Houston for work, I was very tired and I only had a couple of hours before I had to facilitate a meeting!! Thank Goodness for Tu who was at the front desk,... More

Traveled to Houston for a wedding that was at The Derek. The hotel was chosen becuase of the great wedding rates, and location. Great location, but traffic was rediculous all weekend because of The Galleria which was kiddy corner from the Hotel. (It took nearly 30 minutes just to get from the parking lot of the Galleria, to the hotel,... More

It's been quite a while since I stayed at the Derek. What the hell happened? The hotel used to have a beautiful sleek look, now looks like a yard sale gone wrong. All kinds of styles of junk/items placed every where in the lobby area. The rooms are color challenged and don't make sense, hot pink w browns and orange.... More
