A guest who chooses a historic hotel has a chance to stay in a building that has been officially recognised with a national 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 — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Carraroe typically preserve original characteristics 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.

Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you’d get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more.
