Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Mission Valley usually retain original characteristics like traditional architecture and period features within the guestrooms or public spaces.

These are quite similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe.

Tourists who book a stay can expect the usual amenities you’d get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Mission Valley doesn’t mean you’re picking a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
