The Luther Hotel on Palacios’ bayfront is the oldest remaining wooden hotel on the Gulf Coast. It has a Texas Historical Marker and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Built in 1903, the hotel was important during World War II, when 16,000 troops were stationed at Camp Hulen and were entertained by many celebrities in the Luther Hotel ballroom.

The building could be demolished any day to make room for a new hotel on the bayfront. An offer is being presented by a group of hotel preservation investors to preserve the old hotel.

The Palacios Preservation Committee is asking all those interested in preserving history to sign their petition:
