What is a historic hotel like in Balikpapan?
Historic hotels give guests an opportunity to stay in a building that has been officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Balikpapan usually retain original qualities like traditional architecture and period features within the guestrooms or public spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the physical building and architecture. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Balikpapan have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Guests should expect the popular amenities you'd find in a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. In Balikpapan, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
