A historic hotel gives guests a chance to stay in a building officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — any building that’s been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Peru usually retain authentic elements such as period features or traditional architecture within the guestrooms or public spaces.

The two are similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the physical building and architecture. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place’s cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.

Yes, every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors can expect the usual amenities you’d get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. When you book a historic hotel in Peru, it doesn’t mean you’re picking a place that’s rundown.
