The two are similar. “Historic hotel” is a term often used in the US, while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value and how it influenced the community.

Tourists who book a stay can expect the usual amenities you’d get from a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities.
