A guest who chooses a historic hotel has the opportunity to stay in a place that’s been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of 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 K’gari typically retain authentic elements such as period features or traditional architecture within the guestrooms or public spaces.
