A guest who chooses a historic hotel has a chance to stay in a building recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as stately homes, palaces or even lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Stadtmitte/Neustadt usually retain authentic characteristics like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.
