What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These 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 emphasise the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value and how it shaped the community.

In London, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
