"We were so pleased with the brightness and cleanliness of this renovated hotel. They tell me that the air and heating are going to have an upgrade, too. My favorite thing was the plank flooring in our rooms. It looked great and took away that wondering about barefoot walking on an old carpet."

What is a historic hotel like in Exeter?
Historic hotels give guests a chance to stay in a place that's been officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Exeter typically preserve original characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the physical building and architecture. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place's cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Exeter have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences. Guests can expect the usual amenities from a contemporary hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. In Exeter, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you're picking a place that's rundown.
