What is a historic hotel like in Kendal?

They are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, while "heritage hotel" is often used in Asia and Europe.

Yes. Every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.
