Guests who choose historic hotels have 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, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Sparta often retain original characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture within the guestrooms or public spaces.

They are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the architecture and building. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value and how it influenced the community.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay can expect the usual amenities you'd get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Sparta doesn't mean you're picking a place that's uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
