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.

The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while "heritage hotel" is often used in Asia and Europe.
