A historic hotel gives guests the chance to stay in a place officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can be castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — any building that’s been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Baku usually retain authentic elements such as period features or traditional architecture in their communal spaces or guestrooms.

These are quite similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe. A historic hotel tends to emphasise the architecture and actual building. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place’s cultural value and how it inspired the community.

Hotels include modern conveniences and safety features you might expect, though efforts have been made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Smart TVs, WiFi, updated bathroom facilities and the amenities found in any hotel should be available at a historic hotel. Rest assured that when you select a historic hotel in Baku, you won’t be staying at a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
