The creators of this hotel have gone to great lengths to separate it from the pack. They've even given it a persona - its namesake, Derek, a fictitious aging rock star/hotel owner. Given the premise, it would have been easy to lapse into cliché, but not so. Yes, there are some nods to the 196...

The premise of this place is that it's named after an aging British rock star. Yet it's hard to figure out why a hotel this hip and stylish needs a gimmick. It stands on its own and can compete with the best of the country's groovy Ws and Schrager-esque lodgings. If you're cool and young (or young a...

SPECIAL PLACE - user review
I'm biased because I got engaged here. Very hip and modern atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful (stayed here when my A/C went out for a night, they were sure to round us up a DVD player for entertainment). Rooms are large, with a beautiful view of downtown, a long window style couch, and a ...

Nice Hotel - user review
Hotel Derek is a great hotel. We went down for a wedding and the bride, a Houston native, said we were staying in the Swankiest hotel in Houston. That made us feel good! The hotel is great.

Fine for business - user review
I was there for 10 days in October 2006 for business travel. The room was a nice size, fairly modern. The staff was pleasant and helpful. There were several nearby places for dining Italian and steakhouses. Moreover, it's a few minutes walk away from the Galleria. Cons: No self parking, all valet. T...

Hotel is good but extremely overpriced. Also, there is no self parking. You must use valet parking which costs $16.00 per night. No mention was made of this additional cost until checkout. They need to be upfront about it. The hotel restaurant bistro modern was excellent. The service and food were f...
