More than skyscrapers in Houston

Published on September 7, 2010

One of the most vigorous U.S. caters to travelers with its enormous range of cultural and culinary. In addition, a luxury hotel to keep in mind.

Americans often say that everyone should spend at least once in life, by Houston. Reasons seem to abound. Not only is the symbolic capital of the aerospace industry (it has even been immortalized in the phrase "Houston, we have a problem") but also a dynamic city that combines Southern charm of the herds with the highest technological vanguard.

The virtues of Houston can be summarized in the 60 th floor of the Chase Tower, perhaps the best vantage point to appreciate the most populous city in Texas. From that point, everything looks tiny and distant, but the motorway network facilitates communications between all parts of the city.
In what was once the capital of the short-lived Republic of Texas there are over 300 parks, dozens of theaters and art galleries to all kind of curious. Stand, including the Museum of Fine Arts (with a vast collection of 51 000 jobs of all time) and, as in the realm of the unusual, the Beer Can House, the extravagant building that John Milkovisch built with 50,000 cans beer.

Derek, a luxury hotel

In the capital called the "sunbelt" (for the sunny region lying between the southern and western U.S.) is also broad and sophisticated tourist infrastructure, highlighting the Hotel Derek .
This luxury hotel has 314 rooms all services. Beyond the classic amenities for a hotel of its category, options are provided to practice some sports (from golf to horse riding) and alternative recreation path that will make the traveler forget the bustle of Houston.
In culinary, Derek also shines with Vin Bar Valentino, a restaurant with a successful food and wine. Beyond it, however, the city offers a true multicultural range of flavors: there are Chinese restaurants, Malaysian, Cuban, Greek and Portuguese (to name but a few) and, of course, Cajun food in neighboring Louisiana and tex-mex.
