Important Hotel Information:

If the hottest New York City loft designers plied their trade in Houston, the result would look like the Hotel Derek. Inside the lobby, gunmetal grey walls fuse perfectly with bold yellow lighting and onyx-inspired flooring to create a bold, almost gothic presentation. The Hotel Derek’s guest rooms feature fashionable accents that are Texan through and through – just take a look at the cowhide rug. Furniture is modern and low-slung, with a minimum of fuss. Roman shades and an oversize hanging lamp punctuate the space. Don’t miss the hotel’s Bistro Moderne. Chef Philippe Schmit struck gold in New York with Orsay and La Goulue, and now you can order up tasty dishes such as duck confit and the house special, bouillabaise, without the transcontinental flight.
