What is a historic hotel like in Rakaia?
Historic hotels give guests the chance to stay in a place that's been officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can be castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any place of special interest.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while "heritage hotel" is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place's cultural value and how it influenced the community.

Guests should expect the popular amenities from a contemporary hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In Rakaia, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
