“Heritage hotel” is a term often used in Asia and Europe, while “historic hotel” is a term often used in the U.S. but overall the terms are quite similar. The physical building and architecture of a historic hotel is generally the most important aspect. For a heritage hotel, often it’s the cultural value and how it inspired the community.

Hotels include modern conveniences and safety features you’ve come to expect, but every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, free WiFi and the popular amenities found at a contemporary hotel should be available at a historic hotel. When you book a historic hotel in Kochi, don’t worry that you’ll find a place that’s uncomfortable or rundown.
