Frequently asked questions

What can a history enthusiast expect from a trip to California?
You'll probably want to seek out the sights of historical relevance during your trip to California. Why not absorb the local colour with a visit to the restaurants?
What are the top historical places and other sights to visit in California?
Places to visit in the wider area include Nemacolin Castle, Carnegie Museums and Rostraver Township Hall. You'll also find Dunlap Creek Park and Round Hill Park in the area.
What is a historic hotel like in California?
A historic hotel gives guests a chance to stay in a place officially recognised with a 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 — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in California usually retain authentic characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture in guestrooms or communal spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
"Heritage hotel" is more common in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is a term often used in the U.S. though overall the terms are quite similar. The architecture and actual building of historic hotels are generally the most significant aspect. For heritage hotels, mainly, it's cultural value as well as how it inspired the community.
Do historic hotels in California have modern facilities?
Hotel interiors feature the modern conveniences and safety features you've come to expect, though efforts have been made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the amenities found at a contemporary hotel should be available at a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in California, don't worry that you'll find a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
