What is a historic hotel like in Seoul?
A historic hotel gives guests the opportunity to stay in a place that’s been recognised with an official historic designation.

These types of hotels in Seoul typically preserve original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and building. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place’s cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Seoul have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences. Visitors can expect the amenities from a contemporary hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. When you book a historic hotel in Seoul, it doesn’t mean you’re choosing a place that’s rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
