Historic hotels give guests a chance to stay in a building officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Surry Hills typically preserve original elements such as period features or traditional architecture in their public spaces or guestrooms.

They are quite similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the building and architecture itself. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it shaped the community.

Hotels have the safety features and modern conveniences you might expect, though efforts have been made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the normal amenities found in most hotels should be available at a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in Surry Hills, don’t worry that you’ll be staying at a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
