What is a historic hotel like in Kandy?
Guests who choose historic hotels have the opportunity to stay in a building officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Kandy often retain original characteristics like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
They are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the physical building and architecture. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Kandy have modern facilities?
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 private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. When you book a historic hotel in Kandy, it doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's rundown.
