Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a building officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Al Satwa typically preserve authentic 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 “heritage hotel” is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the physical building and architecture. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.

Hotels have the safety features and modern conveniences you might expect, but every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. WiFi, heating and air conditioning, updated bathroom facilities, and the normal amenities found at a contemporary hotel should be available at a historic hotel. Rest assured that when you choose a historic hotel in Al Satwa, you won’t be staying at a place that’s uncomfortable or rundown.
