What is a historic hotel like in Durham?

Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Durham often preserve original elements such as period features or traditional architecture within the guestrooms or public spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while "heritage hotel" is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the physical building and architecture. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place's cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Durham have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities from a contemporary hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Durham doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
