10/10 Excellent
"This hotel feels tucked away in a private neighborhood while being right in the middle of it all. The moment we stepped through the door the staff made us feel like we had arrived home. The suite was exceptional and I cannot wait to stay here again. Book here. You will not regret it."

What is a historic hotel like in Washington?
Guests who choose historic hotels have the opportunity to stay in a building officially recognised with a national historic designation.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
They are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the architecture and actual building. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the community.
Do historic hotels in Washington have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences. Guests should expect the popular amenities from a contemporary hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In Washington, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
