The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center occupies a 32-acre beachfront property on Galveston Island, and has held the AAA Four Diamond Award since 1999. The resort's grounds sit atop the former Fort Crockett, a coastal defense installation established in 1897 whose eight-foot-thick concrete walls form part of the property's foundation; one of the fort's original gun emplacements now supports the resort's Gulf-view wedding gazebo, and another anchors a swimming pool. The San Luis name itself predates the resort by centuries — before 1783, explorers referred to Galveston Island as San Luis, a piece of island lore the resort carried into its own name. Event spaces include the Grand Ballroom, which accommodates up to 500 guests for weddings and receptions, and the more intimate Mainsail Salon. Outdoor ceremonies are held at the Gulf-view Gazebo overlooking the water. The resort's culinary team, spanning restaurants including The Steakhouse and Grotto Ristorante, customizes menus for wedding and event clients, and Spa San Luis offers on-site hair and makeup services for wedding parties. For meetings and conferences, the resort offers 200,000 square feet of IACC-accredited meeting facilities alongside its guest accommodations.

Mama La is the secret ingredient in each of our Kim Son Restaurants, and she can be found in every location. Kim Su Tran La was born in Vietnam, and she, her husband, and their seven children fled to Houston in 1980, fleeing the communist regime that had taken over their country at the time. Mother-in-law Mama La was able to memorize more than 250 recipes before opening the first KIM SON Restaurant, thanks to her extensive knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine, which she received from her in-laws. In a short period of time, her food amassed a large following of thousands of followers, as well as the admiration and loyalty of many of Vietnam's top restaurant cities. The first KIM SON store was located in Vinh Long, but it was eventually closed as a result of the communist takeover of the country in 1975. KIM SON has been recognized by a number of prestigious publications, including Bon Appétit, Esquire, and Food & Wine, and has been named "Best Vietnamese Restaurant" in Houston on an annual basis by the Houston Press. Currently, Mama La's culinary skills have allowed her restaurant group to expand to include four full-service restaurants, three banquet facilities, and four food court outlets throughout the greater Houston region. When you visit one of our restaurants, we hope that we will meet – or exceed – your expectations. We would like to express our gratitude to you for visiting our KIM SON Restaurants and for your continued patronage. The warmth, tradition, and culinary treasures of Vietnam and our people are our hopes for your time at one of our KIM SON restaurant locations. We look forward to seeing you soon! Over the course of more than 30 years, we have developed a repertoire of dishes that are uniquely representative of our homeland, and we consider it a privilege to be able to share them with you. We take pride in using only the freshest ingredients available, and we are constantly striving to improve the overall quality of our food and service. Please feel free to share your thoughts on our restaurant with us, and we would appreciate any suggestions for improvements. As always, our goal is to provide you and your family with an exceptional and authentic Asian dining experience. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future!

The original Houston Heights Fire Station No. 14 is located at Yale and 12th Street, approximately 4 miles north of downtown Houston, and is the last remaining municipal facility from the era when the Heights was a separate municipality. Houston's first public meeting hall, City Hall, fire station, and jail were all constructed in 1914 at a time when horse-drawn fire wagons were still the primary means of transportation. When it became Station Number 14 in 1918, it would remain that way until 1987, when it was permanently decommissioned for the last time. The Houston Heights Association voted in the early millennium to save the building and restore it to its former splendor, and they were successful. After repairing the building and installing vintage carriage-style doors in homage to the horse-drawn carriages of the early twentieth century, when the corral was located directly behind the fire station, The H.H.A. was able to reopen the corral. After being purchased by the Houston Height Association in 1979, the property has since grown to become one of the most popular outdoor wedding venues in the city of Houston. For ceremonies, this property is not open to the general public. Please contact us if you would like to reserve a date. See how our 19th-century architecture, combined with a flexible event space, will ensure that your special day is only limited by your imagination and nothing else.
