A historic hotel gives guests a chance to stay in a building that has been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as 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 Arica often preserve authentic elements like traditional architecture and period features in their communal spaces or guestrooms.

The two are similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the building and architecture itself. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it shaped the community.

Yes, every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors can expect the amenities you’d get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. When you book a historic hotel in Arica, it doesn’t mean you’re choosing a place that’s rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
