A palace, castle, grand home or even an old police station, pub, lodge or skyscraper can be identified as a historic hotel provided that it's of special interest.

The two are similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe. A historic hotel tends to place more significance on the architecture and actual building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the community.
