A guest who chooses a historic hotel has a chance to stay in a place officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Galatina usually retain original qualities 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 place more significance on the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it influenced 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 WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Galatina doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s rundown.
