Historic hotels give guests an opportunity to stay in a building recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like stately homes, palaces or even lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Ocean Park typically preserve authentic characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture in their public spaces or guestrooms.

The two are similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the building and architecture itself. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it shaped the community.

Hotels include modern conveniences and safety features you might expect, while every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the amenities found in most hotels will be available in a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in Ocean Park, don’t worry that you’ll be staying at a place that is rundown or uncomfortable.
