These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe.

Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place's cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.

In Arashiyama, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
