Historic hotels give guests a chance to stay in a place officially recognised with a 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 — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Eliot usually retain original elements such as period features or traditional architecture in their communal spaces or guestrooms.

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 emphasise the architecture and actual building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place’s cultural value and how it inspired the community.

Yes, every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors can expect the usual amenities you’d find in a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. When you book a historic hotel in Eliot, it doesn’t mean you’re picking a place that’s rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
