Guests who choose historic hotels have an opportunity to stay in a place recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that’s been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Batam typically preserve original characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture 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, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you’d get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. Booking a historic hotel in Batam doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
