Historic hotels give guests a chance to stay in a building that has been recognised with an official 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 Taizhou often preserve authentic elements like traditional architecture and period features in their communal spaces or guestrooms.
