A guest who chooses a historic hotel has a chance to stay in a place that’s been recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Upper Town typically retain original elements like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.

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

Yes, every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors should expect the popular amenities you’d get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. When you book a historic hotel in Upper Town, it doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s rundown.
